Model Overview of The Audi Q3's For Sale in Middletown, CT
2016 Audi Q3 Information
2016 Audi Q3
The Audi Q3 is a compact crossover, introduced for 2005 to a booming category that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Acura RDX, Buick Encore, BMW X1, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Mazda CX3. The Q3 looks like a stubby version of the stylish Q5 SUV on the outside, and like the A3 sedan on the inside.
The grille and rear end are tweaked on the 2016 Audi Q3, while a rearview camera and parking sensors are standard on all 2016 Q3 models. LED headlamps appear on upper trim levels of the 2016 Audi Q3.
The Q3 comes with one powertrain, a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, quattro all-wheel drive available. The Q3 can accelerate from zero to sixty in about eight seconds (not quick), and go 130 mph (fast).
Its considered a five-seater, maybe two adults and three smallish kids. Standard equipment is generous, including leather, sunroof, xenon headlamps, 18-inch alloys, LED interior lighting, heated front seats, satellite and HD radio, and Bluetooth streaming. A USB port only comes with the optional navigation.
The Q3 is built for comfort not speed. The suspension tuners chose ride quality over crisp handling. The Q3 rides like the bigger Q5. But by using the Drive Select modes, it can be made to handle almost as sharply as the Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen models. Drive Select is not standard, but an option worth considering. Modes alter the throttle, steering and transmission response.
The Q3 gets an EPA-estimated 20/29/23 miles per gallon City/Highway/Combined, which could be better, given the competition in the class. The efficient quattro all-wheel drive scarcely dings those numbers.
2015 Audi Q3 Information
2015 Audi Q3
Hard on the heels of its all-new 2015 A3 small sedan, Audi this fall will launch its first luxury compact crossover to take on the likes of BMW's X3, Infiniti's QX50, Lexus's RX, Mercedes's GLK and Lincoln's soon-to-come MKC. Filling out the range of Audi CUVs that has so far included just the size-larger Q5 and larger-still Q7, the A3-based Audi Q3 took its U.S. bow at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
While a more fuel-efficient four-cylinder turbodiesel will likely come later, the 2015 Q3's standard and only powertrain will be a 200-hp turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter four driving its front wheels through a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Audi quattro permanent all-wheel drive and an Audi drive select system offering a choice of three response and handling modes (Comfort, Dynamic and Auto) will be available.
The Audi Q3's carefully crafted cabin seats four adults in quiet comfort, plus a fifth when needed. Cargo capacity is 16.2 cubic feet with the split rear seatbacks upright and 48.2 cu. ft. with them folded down. Dramatic LED interior lighting illuminates the doors, foot wells, vanity mirrors, storage compartments, the air vent thumb wheels and even the cup holders. Front airbags, thorax-pelvis side bags (in the backs of the front seats) and side curtain head airbags are standard. Rear side airbags are optional.
Audi promises a sport-oriented balance of agile handling and smooth ride. The front suspension is McPherson struts with forged aluminum lower wishbones, the rear a four-link axle with a separate spring/shock units that maximize cargo space. Electromechanical power steering with speed-dependent power assist, electronic stability control (ESC) with off-road mode and hill descent assist, and 18-inch alloy wheel are standard, 19-inchers optional.
Standard equipment will include leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof with power retractable sunshade, 12-way power heated front seats, Audi's advanced key system, xenon-plus headlamps and LED DRLs, taillights and mirror-mounted turn signals. Among the available optional features will be a Sport Package with adjustable-thigh-support front sport seats; a Driver Assistance Package with a rearview camera, Audi Parking System and Audi Side Assist (which uses radar to assist in safe lane-changing); Audi MMI Navigation Plus with a 7.0-inch color screen; a power tailgate with remote actuation and a programmable preset opening angle; a 465-watt, 10-channel, 14-speaker BOSE Surround Sound system; and a Prestige Trim Package of convenience and infotainment features, including Audi Connect.
This Audi Connect infotainment system provides Wi-Fi connectivity for up to eight wireless devices (for passengers); Google Earth maps for an aerial view of your navigation route; a myAudi Destination feature that allows you to log on to Google Earth from virtually anywhere in the U.S. and download up to 50 destinations to the vehicle; Google Voice Local Search for detailed information about travel destinations such as restaurant or hotel hours, pricing and customer reviews; Sirius/XM Traffic information (subscription required); and real-time localized weather, news and live fuel prices.
