More images of the 2019 Audi Q3 in China have
surfaced online, courtesy autohome.com.cn. The all-new Audi Q3 should have its
public debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October. The Audi Q3 follows the usual
full model change norm at Audi of having a longer, wider and lower body and an
evolutionary design. The second generation model is bigger and more spacious
yet bolder and more aggressive in looks.
Making more room for the Audi Q2 to safely operate
in, the Audi Q3 has grown by 97 mm in length and 18 mm in width to 4,485 mm and
1,849 mm respectively. 77 mm of the increased length is accounted for by the
stretched wheelbase (2,680 mm). With a height of 1,585 mm, the SUV sits 5 mm
lower than its predecessor. The second-gen model offers more knee room,
headroom and elbow room.
Like any other Audi, the Q3 tries to be more
sophisticated. There’s a long list of new technologies, including as Matrix LED
headlights, (10.25-inch or 12.3-inch) Audi virtual cockpit, 10.1-inch
touchscreen for the MMI navigation plus infotainment system, Audi phone box
(for enhanced cellular reception and Qi wireless charging), type-C USB port and
more.
Audi will release the new generation Q3 in Europe
with four engine options - three petrol and one diesel. The outputs of these
DITC engines range from 150 PS to 230 PS. 6-speed manual
transmission or the 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission is used to transmit
the power. Select configurations will include the quattro permanent AWD option.
The new Audi Q3 should go on sale in China in 2019.
Its Indian launch will also take place next year only.
