Audi India has been on a bit of a launch spree, especially on the more affordable side of its portfolio. Just a year after the launch of the new Q3, comes the sportier-looking variant, the Q3 Sportback. As its name implies, it’s got that swoopy roofline that everybody likes, but did it really work on so small a frame? In addition, the 2023 Audi Q3 Sportback costs 51.3 lakh, exshowroom, which means you'll need 1 lakh more than the standard Q3 in top-spec Technology trim) to afford one. Well then, is it worth that?
Just a glance at the Q3 Sportback may not indicate that this is that different from the standard car, especially from the front. A closer look will tell you it’s definitely more athletic Audi offers it in the S Line trim, which means it gets sportier front and rear bumpers. The 18-inch alloys are also new, but I think a slightly sportier alternative would have matched this SUV better. The icing on the cake is, of course, the Turbo Blue paint finish it really suits the Q3 Sportback’s athletic intentions.
