2021 Audi Q3

The second-generation of one of Audi's best-selling models is improved with additional standard equipment and styling options. The Audi Q3 45 TFSI is offered exclusively in an S line exterior. On the Premium trim, power front seats with lumbar support are now standard, in addition to Audi lane departure warning, progressive steering, and shift paddles on the steering wheel.

The Convenience package includes an auto-dimming interior mirror with compass, heated, driver auto-dimming, power-folding exterior mirrors, and an LED interior lighting package. On the Premium Plus trim, Audi cruise assist, the customizable LED interior lighting package plus, and a stainless steel trunk sill are all standard equipment. The Technology package includes a Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System and traffic sign recognition.

New for 2021, a Parking Assistance package adds a top view camera and park steering assist. A newly available Black optic sport package brings titanium matte 19-inch wheels with all-season tires, black optic accents and roof rails, and S line sport seats in black or grey leather interior with contrast stitching. New for 2021, Navarra Blue has been added to the color lineup.

The 2021 Q3 comes with a robust 2.0-liter TFSI engine, which generates 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The four-cylinder engine is mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, which provides quick, smooth shifts, allowing the Q3 to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds.

Q3 is equipped with quattro all-wheel drive, offering high-precision handling through active torque distribution to both axles. The suspension provides a comfortable yet agile ride for long distances or sporty drives.

The Q3's grille features vertical chrome slats, emphasizing the vehicle's more substantial front end. Aggressive headlights flow from the grille into the strong shoulder line, integrating seamlessly with the pronounced wheel arches.
