Numerous innovative features turn the Audi Q3 into a digital companion. They provide a first-class user experience and ensure greater comfort and safety for the driver and other road users thanks to many assistance systems. In addition to the well-balanced suspension, the digitalization of light also enhances customer benefits. A high degree of personalization and adaptive, high-resolution light functions are made possible with the new micro-LED technology in the digital Matrix LED headlights. Another feature of the new Audi Q3 is an efficient, partially electrified combustion engine with mild-hybrid technology and a plug-in hybrid model with an electric range of up to 72 miles.

Gernot Döllner, CEO of AUDI AG: "With a total of more than two million vehicles sold worldwide since the launch of the first generation, the Audi Q3 is one of our best-selling models and has a high status in our product portfolio. With the third generation of the Audi Q3, we are renewing an important model family as part of our product initiative and strengthening our range with a powerful plug-in hybrid and efficient combustion engines. The new model combines efficiency, driving dynamics, and comfort." In addition to efficient and partially electrified combustion engines, the Audi Q3 offers a new adaptive suspension that enables a balance between comfort and dynamics.

Geoffrey Bouquot, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG, adds: "With the Audi Q3 interior, we are transferring the digital stage from the full-size class to the compact segment. An innovative operating concept and numerous assistance systems increase safety and comfort and make the Audi Q3 the ideal digital companion for everyday life."

Compared to its predecessor, the new Audi Q3 has an even more emotional design. The wide Singleframe and the sleekly tapered headlights are fully integrated into the aerodynamic concept. Viewed from the side, a horizontal shoulder line between the headlights and rear lights visually divides the car into two parts, creating a very special distribution of light and shadow.

In addition to classic SUV advantages like easy entry, excellent visibility, and a practical interior layout, the second generation of the Audi Q3 Sportback combines the strengths of an SUV with the aesthetics of a coupé. Its roofline, which slopes downward from the A-pillar, is 29mm lower than that of the SUV. This gives the Audi Q3 Sportback an even sportier appearance and a faster silhouette.

The rear section is adorned with digital OLED rear lights (optional on Edition 1), complemented by a continuous LED light strip and the illuminated rings (standard on S line and above). This level of lighting technology offered in the new Audi Q3 is available for the first time in the Audi compact segment.

The front of the compact SUV features digital Matrix LED headlights (standard on Edition1) that use the micro-LED module for the first time in the Audi Q3. The use of this micro-LED technology improves illumination significantly and thus ensures a strong contrast on the road. The light guidance functions are now much more closely linked to the driver assistance functions. The digital daytime running lights with LED technology, consisting of 23 segments per side, create distinctive light signatures that make the vehicle easily recognizable on the road.

In the interior, the new steering wheel control unit means more storage space in the centre console, a new user experience, and a better sense of space. The steering wheel control unit integrates two new steering column levers for the first time. The lever on the right serves as a gear selector, the one on the left as a control element for the light functions and windshield wipers. Also, for the first time in the compact segment at Audi, acoustic glazing for the front side windows comes as standard which makes for better interior acoustics, particularly at high speeds. The 488-litre boot (375 litres on e-hybrid) also demonstrates the practicality of the Audi Q3. With the seat bench folded down, the storage space for the Audi Q3 increases to up to 1,386 litres (1,293 litres e-hybrid) and 1,289 litres (1,196 litres e-hybrid) in the Q3 Sportback. The seat bench can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted as standard. The Q3 has a towing capacity of up to 2,100kg.

The entry-level model in the Audi Q3 family is the Audi Q3 TFSI 150PS, a four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. The Audi Q3 TDI 150PS is particularly suitable for driving long distances. The Audi Q3 e-hybrid 272PS can charge up to 50kW with DC power under ideal conditions and is more powerful and efficient than ever before. A high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 25.7 kWh (net 19.7 kWh) was installed for that purpose. This battery enables an electric range of up to 72 miles in the WLTP test cycle.

The further developed standard suspension delivers an improved driving experience. The sports suspension (standard on Edition 1) and the suspension with two-valve damper control (available on S line and Edition 1 as part of the optional Sound & Vision Pack Pro) offer an optimally balanced driving experience. One driving assistance highlight is the driver attention and fatigue monitor. For even greater safety on the road, an interior camera also monitors the driver for signs of drowsiness and lack of concentration. Trained parking (part of Sound & Vision Pack Pro) allows customers to teach the Audi Q3 individual parking manoeuvres.

The new Audi Q3 SUV will launch in the UK in September, with the Q3 Sportback following in October. The Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 150PS will be available in the UK at an entry-level price of £38,300 (OTR). The Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid 272PS will start at £45,800 (OTR). The Q3 Sportback commands a £1,500 premium across the lineup.

Dynamic design
Compared to its predecessor, the new Audi Q3 has an even more muscular and emotional design. Its body is defined by the perfect combination of rounded sections and precise lines. The wide Singleframe is positioned high up, and the sleekly tapered headlights create a focused look and are fully integrated into the vehicle's aerodynamic concept. The design ensures a particularly efficient airflow around the front end. The controllable cool-air intake is installed in the area under the Singleframe and ensures that the airstream can flow around this area with minimal losses. The parking sensors are also located there. The sensors for the driver assistance systems are installed behind the four rings.

Viewed from the side, a horizontal shoulder line between the front and rear lights visually divides the car into two parts, creating a very special lighting effect. The upper side catches the light, while the lower side falls into shadow. In conjunction with the steeply sloping D-pillars, this makes the greenhouse appear even more dynamic. The powerfully emerging blisters from the shoulder area of the front and rear wheels are reminiscent of the original quattro.

The rear also features a clear design. Separated from the two-part rear lights, the precisely drawn narrow light strip cuts sharply across the entire width of the vehicle (S line and above), giving the rear a clean look. Below this runs a wide, visually calm area. The diffuser is integrated into the raised bumper.

The Audi Q3 Sportback combines the best of two worlds
The second generation of the Audi Q3 Sportback combines the advantages and versatility of an SUV – such as easy entry, excellent visibility, and a practical interior layout – with the aesthetics of a coupé. Its roofline, which slopes downward from the A-pillar, is 29mm lower than that of the SUV and gives the Audi Q3 Sportback an even sportier look and a faster silhouette. Less body volume at the rear makes the two pronounced muscular sections, the quattro blisters, which stand for all-wheel drive, appear even wider and more muscular. The monolithic greenhouse looks even more progressive and emotional in its coupé form.

The S line specification is differentiated with front and rear bumpers in selenite silver. 11 colours are available for the new Audi Q3 models, including the Arkona white solid paint finish. Glacier white, Malpelo Blue, Mythos black, Arrow grey, Volcano grey, Progressive red, and Navarra blue are available as metallic paint finishes. These are joined by the new colour Sage Green metallic and Medeira Brown matt effect plus. The Daytona grey metallic paint finish is also available for the S line and Edition 1 trims.

The new wheel designs are available from 18 inches as standard up to a maximum of 20 inches. Aerodynamic wheels from 18 inches to 19 inches complete the range. Audi Sport supplies a total of four wheel designs in 19-inch and 20-inch sizes. These include two darkened variants in black metallic: a 20-inch wheel with a five-arm tripod design (standard on Edition 1) and an optional 20-inch wheel with a multi-spoke S design.

The aerodynamics and overall vehicle acoustics have been significantly improved compared to the predecessor. In addition to the drag coefficient of 0.30, the focus is primarily on acoustic comfort. The new Audi Q3 is the first Audi model in the compact segment to offer acoustic glazing for the front side windows. In combination with optimized sealing and insulation in the vehicle, this creates a harmonious acoustic concept with a noticeable improvement in driving comfort.

Lighting technology from the full-size class turns night into day
The lighting technology in the new Audi Q3 is available for the first time in the Audi compact segment - made possible by adapting the digital Matrix LED headlights from the full-size class (standard on Edition1). The new Q3 is the first Audi to use the micro-LED module, which replaces the DMD module.

There are 25,600 micro-LEDs on the module, which is approximately 13mm wide. Each individual micro-LED is around 40 micrometers in size, which is about half the thickness of a human hair. The use of this micro-LED technology produces significantly improved illumination and thus ensures very clear contrast on the road - particularly advantageous in difficult weather conditions.

The light guidance functions, known as lane guidance and orientation lights, are now much more closely linked to the driver assistance functions. By displaying important information from the assistance systems in the driver's direct field of vision in front of the vehicle and with a direct visual reference to the road infrastructure the light functions help to further increase driving safety.

One new feature is that the active warning from the lane change assist is now reflected in the lane light on highways if the Audi Q3 driver wants to change lanes while a vehicle is in its blind spot. The lane departure warning display in the orientation light also supports the driver on country roads and highways. It is activated in the same way as the familiar display in the instrument cluster as soon as the lane boundary is crossed unintentionally. Moreover, the extended traffic information projects an ice crystal onto the road as a warning symbol starting at around 43.5 mph in the event of possible icy conditions ahead.

Another example of the advanced light guidance is apparent on construction sites, where drivers often have to deal with a lack of clarity. Here, the digital Matrix LED headlights automatically adjust the light guidance by switching off the lane light in favour of the orientation light to make it significantly easier to stay in the correct lane in tight construction site situations.

For the first time, customers can deactivate individual functions of the digital Matrix LED headlights, such as the lane lights, via the MMI. The MMI can also be used to select four different designs for the extended dynamic coming home/leaving home functions when entering the vehicle or turning off the engine. The digital Matrix LED technology therefore also makes an impression when the vehicle is stationary. In conjunction with the micro-LED light source, the digital Matrix LED headlights ensure a very precise light distribution of the high beams and even better glare control for other road users, increasing road safety.

Along with the digital Matrix LED modules, the digital daytime running lights with LED technology consisting of 23 segments per side make the vehicle easily recognizable on the road. Depending on the vehicle's features, up to four different digital light signatures with customized coming/leaving home lighting scenarios for the front and rear can be selected via the MMI. The rear section is adorned with digital OLED rear lights (optional only on Edition 1), complemented by a continuous LED light strip and the illuminated rings. A total of 36 different segments are divided into six digital OLED panels, which enable digital rear light signatures.

The interior: functional and clearly designed
Compared to the previous model, the design and functionality have been significantly improved. Its high-contrast design deliberately places elements in the foreground or background, creating a cozy interior feel.

A generous application area, the so-called Softwrap, extends from the doors across the entire width of the dashboard, highlighting the horizontal alignment for a maximum sense of space. The panoramic display with 11.9-inch instrument cluster and 12.8-inch MMI touch display forms the so-called digital stage. Its curved design creates a driver-oriented cockpit layout. Audi is thus transferring the digital stage from the full-size class to the compact segment. A head-up display (part of optional Sound & Vision Pack, but free on e-hybrid models) for important information supplements the digital displays. Flat door handles and a modern, uncluttered console underscore the feeling of space and comfort.

The new steering wheel control unit has great practical benefits. It integrates two new steering column levers for the first time, thus creating more storage space in the centre console, a new user experience, and a better sense of space. The lever on the right serves as a gear selector, the one on the left as a control element for the light functions and windshield wipers. The elimination of the gear selector in the centre console results in more space in the console with two cup holders. The cooled inductive charging tray with 15 watts of charging power including two USB-C ports can be closed by a sliding cover if desired. Two additional USB-C ports are located in the rear.

In the dark, the standard ambient light plus package highlights the interior ambiance. Marker lights in the dashboard and centre console emphasize the interior's clear lines. Indirect ambient lighting below the MMI panoramic display and in the doors accentuate the interior design.

As a new design element, the front doors are now fitted with large-area illumination (standard S line and above). The fabric panel was laser-cut 300 times for this purpose. A light source in the door trim backlights five segments which, due to their different sizes, show a dynamic lighting progression - even when unlocking and locking the vehicle. The illuminated fabric panel thus combines functionality with an emotional design experience. Thirty different colours are available in the MMI and increase the possibilities for personalization.

The speakers of the new SONOS premium sound system (part of Sound & Vision Pack) are located in the upper section of the doors, providing an intense listening experience with its new virtually generated surround sound. Twelve high-performance speakers including the centre speaker and subwoofer are driven by 420 watts of maximum amplifier power. Customers can choose from four preconfigured sound profiles (neutral, concert, lounge, and podcast). They also have the option of expanding their sound experience with features that can be added at any time via Functions on Demand (FoD).

The sound and function package supplements the selected sound system with three additional features: 1) bass intensification - for a more precise and powerful bass experience, 2) automatic level adjustment - to maintain the same volume when changing sources, and 3) music revitalization - to improve the sound of compressed music files.

The infotainment system of the Audi Q3 uses Android Automotive OS as its operating system. Third-party apps such as YouTube are available from the Audi Application Store, which is directly integrated into the MMI and therefore does not require a smartphone to use.

Audi assistant, the learning voice-controlled assistant, can be used to operate numerous vehicle functions. The assistant is enriched with AI - integrated directly into the vehicle - and appears for the first time as an avatar in the central touch display of the MMI and, when active, also as an icon in the head-up display or Audi virtual cockpit. The input understood by the Audi assistant is also shown in the instrument display.

The interior is not only particularly user-centric but was also designed with sustainability in mind. Fast-growing, resistant wood is used for wood applications. The interior elements in lmpressum cloth are made from 100 percent recycled polyester. The upholstery fabrics lmpressum, single-colour cloth, and microfiber are also made entirely from recycled polyester. The velvet velour floor mats are made from Econyl, a completely recycled nylon fibre made from old fishing nets, carpet remnants, and industrial waste. Audi is thereby focusing on a future-oriented and efficient use of resources in the Audi Q3.

The 488-litre boot (375 litres on e-hybrid) demonstrates the practicality of the Audi Q3. If the seat bench is slid all the way forward and placed in an upright position, the result is 575 litres.

With the seat bench folded down, the storage space for the Audi Q3 increases to up to 1,386 litres (1,293 litres e-hybrid) for the SUV and 1,289 litres (1,196 litres e-hybrid) in the Q3 Sportback. The seat bench can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted as standard. The Audi Q3 can tow up to 2,100kg. The nose weight is 90kg.

Wide range of highly efficient engines
The entry-level model in the Audi Q3 family is the Audi Q3 TFSI 150PS, a four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology and standard seven-speed S tronic. It delivers 150PS of power and its highlight is the Cylinder-on-demand (COD) system, which temporarily shuts down the second and third cylinders at low and medium loads. To be introduced later in the year and positioned above the entry-level unit is the Audi Q3 TFSI quattro 204PS, which develops 320Nm of torque.

The most powerful of the combustion engines is the Audi Q3 TFSI quattro 265PS with quattro drive. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with the seven-speed S tronic is responsible for propulsion. It delivers 265PS and 400Nm of torque to all four wheels.

The Audi Q3 TDI 150PS is particularly suitable for driving long distances. It rolls off the line with front-wheel drive and seven-speed S tronic as standard. Its 150PS and 360Nm of torque ensure low fuel consumption on long journeys.

The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is equally predestined for long distances, but with electric support. It is more powerful and more efficient than ever before. In combination with the electric motor (115PS and 330 Nm torque), the Audi Q3 e-hybrid offers a total system output of 272PS and 400Nm of system torque.

A high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 25.7kWh has been installed, almost doubling its previous capacity - with almost identical dimensions to the predecessor model. A net 19.7kWh is available. The battery's 96 prismatic cells, divided into four modules, store significantly more energy than before. Thanks to optimized cell chemistry and a better package, the modules now have a charge capacity of 73 ampere-hours instead of 37.

This increases the electric range to up to 72 miles in the WLTP test cycle. The Audi Q3 e-hybrid can charge up to 50kW DC under ideal conditions and thus enables comfortable travel with an electric drive. A battery discharged to 10 percent can be recharged to 80 percent in less than half an hour. Audi's own charging service, Audi charging, grants access to numerous AC charging points in 28 European countries (optional).

Audi Q3 SUV and Audi Q3 Sportback motors

New damper system for comfort and power
In addition to the engines, Audi has also significantly improved the driving dynamics of the new Audi Q3. The further developed standard suspension delivers an improved driving experience. All in all, this dynamically designed SUV is a family and touring car that is suitable for everyday use and impresses with its agility. The suspension systems available are the steel-spring suspension, the sports suspension (standard on Edition 1), and the suspension with two-valve damper control (part of optional Sound & Vision Pack Pro).

The suspension with damper control continuously reacts to the characteristics of the road surface and the current driving situation, while taking into account parameters such as steering, braking, and acceleration. The ideal damping is calculated for each wheel in a fraction of a second and adjusted on the shock absorbers. The faster-acting twin-valve dampers also enable a better and smoother connection of the body to the suspension. At the same time, the separate control of the rebound and compression stages optimizes driving dynamics, as the expansion and suspension vibrations can be controlled independently of each other. The spread between comfort and sporty driving is more noticeable.

The agility of the new Audi Q3 is also enhanced by the progressive steering system (standard on Sportback, part of optional Driver Assist Pack on SUV). Towards the end of the steering travel, the steering ratio decreases significantly for greater manoeuvrability. The steering movements are transmitted more directly to the wheels. What's more, the steering response behind the wheel can be experienced more clearly, and feedback from the road is better. Reduced friction provides more steering feel.

In the Audi drive select dynamic handling system of the new Audi Q3, balanced mode also replaces auto mode. As the name suggests, balanced mode represents the optimum balance between driving dynamics and comfort. Balanced mode is activated every time the vehicle is started and can also be configured to suit individual requirements. "Offroad plus" (for quattro) can also be preselected as the default mode via the MMI if so desired.

Driver assistance systems
When it comes to driver assistance, the Audi Q3 relies on a wide range of systems that make everyday life on the road much easier and thus increase safety.

Standard features at market launch include, reversing camera, park assist plus with 360° display, adaptive cruise control (including speed limiter), lane departure warning with emergency assist, hill hold assist, traffic sign recognition, attention and fatigue warning with driver monitoring, and active front assist with evasion and turning assist, front cross traffic assist, and front emergency brake assist.

Highlights for enhanced driving comfort include adaptive driving assistant plus with emergency assist (part of optional Sound & Vision Pack Pro). The adaptive assistant plus supports longitudinal and lateral guidance and has been supplemented by the lane change assistant function.

The system helps with accelerating, braking, maintaining speed, and keeping the set distance as well as with lane guidance on sections of the route at speeds of up to 130.5mph.

The system also supports assisted lane changes at speeds of 60mph or greater on highways. The latter can be activated via the MMI and uses the data from the rear radar to indicate with white arrows in the instrument cluster and head-up display whether and in which direction a lane change is possible. If a lane change is initiated by tapping the turn signal, the system actively supports the steering process.

In conjunction with online data, the adaptive driving assistant can maintain the vehicle's lane even without a recognized lane boundary and can therefore also increase comfort in rural and urban traffic (off the motorway). The use of online data for the adaptive driving assistant (part of optional Sound & Vision Pro pack) is included for three years after vehicle delivery. After that, customers have the option of extending the term for a fee via the myAudi store.

For the first time, the emergency assistant is now able to take over command of the vehicle if the driver no longer reacts. In that case, the emergency assistant independently drives the Audi Q3 to the shoulder and brings it to a halt there (only available with the optional Sound & Vision Pack Pro on S line and Edition 1). When this happens, the assistant gives visual, audible, and haptic warnings with brake jolts and turns on the hazard warning lights.

For even greater safety on the road, an interior camera also monitors the driver for signs of drowsiness and lack of concentration. If the driver does not respond to the Audi Q3's warnings for a certain period of time, a warning tone sounds and a visual display appears in the instrument cluster. If the driver still does not react, the Audi Q3 automatically pulls onto the shoulder and initiates a call to emergency services. The data will not be saved.

Trained parking (part of optional Sound & Vision Pro pack) allows customers to teach the Audi Q3 individual parking manoeuvres. If access to a garage is difficult, the Audi Q3 only needs to be trained once and will, after that, take care of parking on its own - the driver will only need to observe. The same applies to exiting a parking space.

The new Audi Q3 can remember up to five parking manoeuvres, 50 metres in length. The manoeuvres can be given individual names.

If your journey ends in a cul-de-sac, the new reverse assistant provides reliable help. At speeds below 21mph, the Audi Q3 can remember a distance of around 50 metres and reverse independently at a speed of around 6mph.

In city traffic, park assist plus with parking system helps the driver with targeted steering manoeuvres when parking as soon as the ultrasonic sensors have detected a suitable perpendicular or parallel parking space.

Park assist also provides support when reversing out of a parking space and can be activated while a manual parking manoeuvre is in progress. To receive this assistance, the driver must follow the instructions on the display and accelerate and brake accordingly. The four wide-angle surrounding cameras cover the entire area directly around the vehicle and enable a variety of different views for even more convenient manoeuvring. The driver can select different views on the MMI display, making it easier to position the vehicle in the parking space.

Traffic sign recognition now also displays warning signs: for example, the system recognizes signs for right of way, construction sites, pedestrian crossings, animal crossings, and railroad crossings.

Launch and pricing
In the UK, the new Audi Q3 SUV will be available to order from September, with first customer delivery schedule for late summer. The Q3 Sportback, which carries a £1,500 premium over the SUV, goes on sale in October, with deliveries due to start towards the end of the year.
