As expected, the design of this model is inspired by the Audi Q5 and Q7, but implementing a more sporty front fascia with a firmly declining roof-line. It seems like this design of the rear passengers are forced to sacrifice room and cargo space capacity.
Turning to the cabin, the interior of the Audi Q3 crossover equipped with a pop-up Multi Media Information displays, wood trim and aluminum accents are scattered in several directions.


The forthcoming Q3 is expected to be powered by a 200 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo TFSI engine, a 3.0 liter diesel for Europe as well as a 333 hp 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 in a performance trim. Incidentally, there are chances that the 2.0 TFSI will hit the roads in the U.S. Also, there are chances of a 2.0-liter TDI for the 2012 Q3 that will likely produce around 168 hp..


The 2012 Audi Q3 will be based on the Volkswagen Group’s PQ35 platform that also underpins the similarly sized Volkswagen Tiguan. Sketches reveal coupe-like elements in the Q3’s design. Further, the vehicle is expected to be available with the quattro all-wheel drive system, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and will be fitted with fuel saving technologies like auto start/stop.
The 2012 Audi Q3 will be built at SEAT’s factory in Martorell, Spain and is anticipated to hit the roads in a year or so. Further details of the Q3 are expected to be revealed closer to the debut date.
