Meanings are Infinite: The All-New Audi Q3 Sportback
What is an Audi Q3 Sportback and what does it mean? Its meaning is infinite as the all-new 2020 Audi Q3 Sportback is the latest compact SUV added to the Q range, and the second with the dynamic coupé shape. The new model combines the strong presence and versatile everyday convenience of an SUV with the sporty elegance and agile handling of a coupé. This makes it the first compact crossover of the Audi brand with the customer favourite coupe styling.
Sales Manager of Audi Jamaica, Uche’ McLean, commented that the Q3 Sportback is consistent with the innovations that the Audi brand represents over the years. “The all-new Audi Q3 Sportback is the perfect illustration of the future of the automobile industry. Since the launch of the new Q3 last July, the response has been overwhelming to the new design along with the innovation and technology packed into the car. With this new variant of the Q3, customers can expect nothing less from Audi and their mandate – Vorsprung Durch Technik.”
The first thing you’ll notice when looking at the Q3 Sportback is the slope roof which is a more dramatic design change from the standard Q3; however, there are plenty of changes elsewhere that differentiate the new Q3 Sportback from its sister model.
This compact SUV stands for strength and precision to an equal degree, and reflects this in all design details. For example; the black grille of the single frame is a three-dimensional design, and this makes it particularly sporty. The coupé-like passenger cabin acts as a contrast to the distinctive attachments, which are painted in contrasting colours and thus emphasize the SUV character. In addition, the low roofline gives way to flat D‑pillars and ends in a roof edge spoiler. As a result, the Audi Q3 Sportback appears much longer than the standard Q3.
Depending on the driving situation, road condition, and personal preferences, the driver can vary the car’s characteristics via the standard dynamic handling system; the Audi select drive, this consists of six profiles including the off-road mode. The Q3 Sportback engine and transmission set-up system also influences the electronically adjustable shock absorbers and the steering assistance.
For safety, there are four standard systems that the driver can use including parking aid plus, high beam assist, light and rain sensors. There is also the option to engage the adaptive cruise assist which takes the burden off the driver while travelling long distances.
Under the bonnet, the Q3 Sportback hosts a 1.4-litre turbo-charged gasoline engine with 150 hp. It features a 4-cylinder on demand system that switches off the second and third cylinder temporarily at low and medium loads, thus helping to reduce fuel consumption. With a seven-speed S-tronic transmission, this coupe’ is not only available in the 1.4 litre but for even more power, the 2.0 litre turbo charged with Quattro with all-wheel drive technology for that renowned Audi handling.
Additionally, for those looking for even more power, the RS Q3 Sportback is available for special pre-order offering outstanding performance, athletic design and maximum everday usability.
With measurements of 14ft long, 6ft wide and 5ft high the Audi Q3 Sportback offers a large and highly variable interior. The rear seats offer space for three people with three divided back rest sections and their inclination can be adjusted in seven stages. The volume of the luggage compartment ranges from 18.7 cu ft to 49.4 cu ft.
