Audi Q3: Unveiling the First Generation (2012) and the 2021 Model

Introduction

The Audi Q3 made its debut in 2012 as a front-engine, front/four-wheel-drive compact SUV. Positioned beneath the more premium Audi Q7 and Q5, the 2021 Audi Q3 in Pakistan comes in the 1.4 TFSI S Tronic model, with additional options like 2.0 TFSI, 2.5 TFSI, RS Q3, and 2.0 TDI also imported. The 2021 variant offers two trim levels – Premium and Premium Plus, priced at 70 lacs in Pakistan, though the competitiveness within its class is questionable.

Notable features include narrow trapezium-style headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, a hexagonal grille with chrome trim, and a roof spoiler at the rear.

Despite a lack of interior space in the rear for its exterior dimensions, the Q3 offers comfort and refinement.
