THE GERMAN LUXURY automaker, Audi’s Q3 is one of the top contenders in the compact luxury sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment. Now in its second generation, the Q3 is not only visually more dynamic, but has also taken a leap forward in terms of spaciousness, versatility and technology. We took the car for a drive through New Delhi on the 75th Republic Day of India and here’s what we found about the car.

Design

The Audi Q3 has a sophisticated and modern exterior design, with sharp lines and an athletic stance. It includes signature Audi elements such as the singleframe grille and LED headlights, giving it a premium look. In terms of dimensions, the car’s compact size is perfect for those looking for a bit of relief from chaotic traffic and parking hassles, and yet crave luxury.

The interior is spacious, with high-quality materials and intuitive controls. Once you get inside the vehicle, you are treated to a refined cabin experience, comfortable seat ing, upscale finishes, and cuttingedge technology such as Audi’s MMI infotainment system with a responsive touchscreen interface and smartphone integration. The rectangular centre console in the Q3 is angled towards the driver for ease of access, a design choice common with German automakers.
