In contrast to the Q5, which is based on the modular system along the Volkswagen Group, which focuses on the Q3 across modular.

That the Q3 closely related to the Consolidated brother VW Tiguan is understood, without saying even if they have almost the same external dimensions, they differ significantly in the optical appearance. The Audi Q3 drives much sportier front. The typical Audi coupe-like front and rear already set it apart from the competition edged.

Audi also those of the Q3 its premium quality, not only in price. However, the Q3 will be priced well below the Q5 classified, but it will be more expensive than the VW Tiguan. The customer takes the engines at a known selection: efficient 2.0 TDI with 143 hp (105 kW) or 170 hp (125 kW) and two turbo-petrol engine with 160 hp (118 kW) or 211 hp (155 kW).

The best four-wheel drive "quattro" is standard on more powerful engines, including the double-clutch transmission (S-Tronic) in Q3 is used. Audi wants to bring the new Q3 a model range at the start, which is to successfully solicit the BMW X1 customers. Mercedes-Benz, there are currently (still) nothing like it is with the launch of a compact SUV based on the new A-Class, unveiled in Shanghai for the first time a study is not expected before 2013.
