German luxury carmaker, Audi, has launched the new Q3 SUV in India. The Q3 was discontinued in India and is now back again in an all-new avatar. Audi Q3 was one of the brand’s top-selling products in India. Hence, it is not surprising the brand has been reintroduced in the Indian market.
Audi says the Q3 is a perfect family car with all-around talents. Now in its 3rd generation, it is not only visually more dynamic but also offers more space, versatility and technology.
Audi will offer the Q3 SUV in 2 variants in India – Premium Plus & Technology. Pricing for the Audi Q3 starts at INR 44,89,000 ex-showroom for the Premium Plus variant. Meanwhile, the top-end Technology variant costs INR 50,39,000 ex-showroom. This makes the top-end variant INR 5,50,000 more expensive than the Premium Plus.
The brand commenced bookings for the new Q3 SUV on 11th August 2022. Interested customers can book the SUV by paying INR 2,00,000. Audi India is also offering ownership benefits for the first 500 customers. These include a 5-year extended warranty and a 3-year / 50,000 km Comprehensive Service Value Package.
The Q3 will be available in a total of five exterior colour options. These are – Pulse Orange, Glacier White, Chronos Grey, Mythos Black and Navarra Blue. Meanwhile, there will also be two interior colour options – Okapi Brown and Pearl Beige.
According to the brand, the Q3 offers a stellar proposition with its new styling and best-in-class features. On the outside, it has a sportier design and has also grown in size compared to the outgoing model. At the front, it gets the signature Singleframe grille in an octagonal design, which is divided by vertical bars. Along with the large air inlets, it lends it a masculine look with its interplay of light and shadow. The headlights also have a new design and run inwards with their wedge shape.
The 2022 Audi Q3 comes with a host of features. Some of the standard features include a panoramic glass sunroof, Audi’s High Gloss Styling package, 18-inch 5-arm style alloy wheels with anti-theft wheel bolts and LED headlights & taillights.
Audi has also equipped the Q3 to the brim on the inside. Some of the standard features include powered-front seats with lumbar support, leather/leatherette seat upholstery, single-colour ambient lighting, a digital instrument cluster, 6 airbags, TPMS and a frameless auto-dimming IRVM.
In addition to this, the Technology variant gets even more features. Some of these include the Audi Sound System with 10 speakers and 180W output, ambient lighting package plus (30 colours), Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, MMI Navigation Plus with MMI Touch, Audi Drive Select, electric tailgate and more. The Technology variant also gets interior elements in an aluminium look.
The Audi Q3 will only come in a single powertrain option in India. This is the Audi’s 2.0-litre TFSI four-cylinder motor. Both variants also come equipped with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive as standard. The engine sends power to the wheels via a 7-speed DCT. The motor makes 190 HP of peak power and 320 Nm of peak torque. Audi claims the Q3 with this 2.0-litre TFSI and Quattro accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 7.3 seconds.
