Audi has recently launched a new 4×4 Quattro version of the Q3, which is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder TDI engine, in the UK.
The diesel engine develops 140 hp and 320 Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. This allows the crossover to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 196 km/h. In terms of efficacy, it returns 49.6 UK mpg (41.3 US mpg or 5.7 l/100km) on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 149 g/km.
According to the German carmaker, the base version will come with standard features like 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, a Concert audio system with 6.5-inch manually retractable colour display screen, preparation for SD card navigation, Bluetooth interface, Audi Music Interface iPod connection and light and rain sensors. For an extra £2,750, customers get the S Line, which adds 18-inch alloy wheels, S line exterior and interior styling enhancements, xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps and LED rear tail lights.
The Audi Q3 2.0 TDI has a starting price of £26,510.
