The all-new Audi Q3 40 TFSI and Q3 40 TFSI S Line has launched in Australia priced from $53,900 before on-road costs, joining the Q3 Sportback line-up in Audi’s local showrooms.
Both variants will feature Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 132kW and 320Nm of torque.
Mated to a quick-shifting seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, the duo is claimed to reach 100km/h from rest in 7.8 seconds, while returning 8.3L/100km. CO2 emissions are rated at 188 grams per km.
“The legendary Audi quattro all-wheel-drive technology underpins the legacy of the Audi Q model range,” said Shawn Ticehurst, Director of Product Planning & Pricing at Audi Australia.
“We’re delighted to bring this model to Australia to continue its predecessor’s success, with the new model endowed with over $8000 worth of additional equipment. In particular, the S line variant represents extraordinary value.”
