H Audi επιβεβαίωσε σήμερα αυτό που ξέραμε, ότι το Q3 θα παρουσιαστεί επίσημα στην έκθεση της Σανγκάη στις 19 του Απρίλη. Το αυτοκίνητο που θα κατασκευάζεται στο εργοστάσιο της Seat στο Martorell θα βασίζεται πάνω στην πλατφόρμα του Volkswagen Tiguan και σχεδιαστικά θα μοιάζει με το Audi Cross Coupe concept που παρουσιάστηκε στη Σανγκάη το το 2007.
Από μηχανικής πλευράς το Q3 θα εφοδιάζεται αρχικά με 3 κινητήρες. Με τον 2.0λιτρο TFSI των 170 ίππων, τον 2.0λιτρο TFSI των 211 ίππων καθώς και με τον 2.0λίτρων TDI των 170 ίππων. Ο πρώτος θα είναι διαθέσιμος αποκλειστικά με 6-τάχυτο χειροκίνητο κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων ενώ οι άλλοι δύο θα διαθέτουν το αυτόματο κιβώτιο S-Tronic.
