Audi Q3
Reflecting on what
matters most to us.
In so many ways, it’s really all connected. How an Audi vehicle is engineered and designed isn’t simply a matter
of physics or architecture, it’s a systematic compilation of disparate disciplines and ideas, forged into something iconic, sophisticated and powerful. What you feel behind the wheel is, in so many ways, a product of the
knowledge and imagination of human history. The principles of Newtonian laws, sure — but also the grace of
choreography, time-honored artisanal craftsmanship and the connectivity of modern life. The end result of
these inspirations is your Audi — a thing meaningful, intuitive and strong. We employ the sum of our skills and
understanding to reflect something that goes deeper than our machines.
The ultimate city essential.
With ultramodern skyscrapers juxtaposed against historic architecture, and downtown cool
meeting uptown sophistication, you get a city that moves to its own beat. Moving through traffic, marquees and neon lights, you’ll experience a soundtrack of horns honking, police sirens
wailing, and street musicians serenading. City life is magical madness. But it’s so much more.
It’s a bustling ecosystem of art scenes and beat cafés, sporting venues and concert halls, and
this is the ultimate essential for getting around in it. Introducing the redesigned Audi Q3.

The ultimate essential for
city living and city escapes.

The irrepressible
actuality of light.
↘

Light is a wave and an energy. It’s also a feeling. And an inspiration. Light is a physical manifestation and a spiritual metaphor. For Audi designers, light represents the soul of automotive design.
We use it to give lines context, add a shimmering allure, or give shapes a visual texture or depth.
In the sun or on a city street, the vehicle becomes luminescent, a seductive, ever-shifting configuration of energy itself, expressed in the brilliance of each design line.

We don’t follow design trends.
We set them.
You’ll turn heads on crowded streets.
In the city, there is a lot to be seen. Sure, you won’t mean to, but you’ll certainly turn heads
on crowded streets. The refreshed Audi Q3 is perfectly positioned to match the pace of the
city and is one reason why agile movement is engineered into its design. Its modernity is
displayed in its roofline, giving the Q3 a coupe-like look and feel. Progressive new design
elements like the signature LED daytime running lights, an aggressive front bumper profile
and the bold new Gloss Black Singleframe® grille create a powerful impression as you travel
from point A to point B in style. With intention, we blend design and practicality; helping
ensure that the Q3 is the perfect companion to city life.

Tailgate design
The Q3 rear boasts a coupe-like roofline and
wraparound available power tailgate with a sleek,
aerodynamic underbody.
LED lighting design
For the first time the Audi Q3 is available with full
LED headlights, adding superior lighting performance
and progressiveness to the new accentuated shape.
Available LED taillights with dynamic turn signals add
a distinguishing element that you could say radiates
pure Audi uniqueness.
Color outside the lines.
When you cracked open a coloring book and crayons as a kid you were probably encouraged
to practice discipline, keeping each stroke neatly within the outline. With the redesigned Audi
Q3, we have stayed beautifully within our own lines —a commitment to compelling design
and innovative technology— so you can feel like a kid again as you explore a much bigger playground. The energetic Q3 with available S line® exterior appearance was designed to radiate,
with S line front and rear bumpers and chiseled side sills that create a trendy, sporty look. You
could say the Q3 is the only tool you need to paint the town a variety of available colors.

Always dressed to impress.
City dwellers appreciate great style that provides functionality. And the interior of the Audi Q3 is designed
with their sophisticated tastes in mind. The Q3 can be loaded with available technologies, like MMI®
navigation plus and award-winning Audi connect®.1Subtle touches such as LED ambient interior lighting
and Aluminum-optic trim elements enhance a vehicle that’s expertly developed for the tech-forward
world. But, without quality craftsmanship and the refined materials we’ve relied upon for decades, it just
wouldn’t be an Audi. Driver-centric controls are thoughtfully placed for easy engagement. Leather seating
surfaces and a leather-wrapped three-spoke multifunction steering wheel help ensure that every encounter is a pleasurable one. So, inside or out, the Q3 will make certain that you never go out of style.
Aluminum look
Beautifully crafted new Aluminum-optic trim elements add a sophisticated modernity to an already
regal interior. These include the MMI function buttons, air-vent thumbwheels, power seat controls
and the insert above the CD player.

The spacious, luxurious rear seat of the
Audi Q3 creates a mobile sanctuary
for backseat passengers.

The space you need
for any escape.
There are times life in the city can become overwhelming. The happenings of a bustling
city can take its toll, so we made sure that the cabin of the Audi Q3 helps keep some of
the noise out. The adaptable Q3 allows you to appreciate city life and get away from it
at the same time. With comfortable, supple leather seating surfaces and twelve-way
power front seats that include four-way power lumbar support, this is a personal haven.
Split folding rear se atback
The 60/40 split folding rear seatback helps make
adventure possible, giving you the flexibility to
house a variety of luggage or equipment in your Q3.
Cargo space
You can put a lot of good things into this small
package. With 48.2 cu ft of storage space with the
rear seat folded flat, the Q3 can answer the call
of the wild as well as tame the concrete jungle.
Whether you’re stocking up at the store or getting
away, the Q3 is engineered to adapt to you.
Power tailgate
Made from aluminum, the available power tailgate with its wraparound design is an unmistakable styling element on the Q3 that emphasizes
the vehicle’s width and facilitates convenient
loading and unloading of cargo.
Power-folding mirrors
In the city, parking spaces are tight. Fortunately,
the Q3 was engineered to adapt. When you find
the perfect spot, available power-folding mirrors
will help ensure that no damage will occur from
bicyclists and passersby.
