Audi has announced that they are updating the exterior styling on their Audi Q3. The company is also launching a new S line exterior package and a new model, the Audi Q3 S line competition.
Enhanced Exterior Design
Audi makes its bestselling Q3* even more attractive. New details in the exterior design more sharply differentiate the design and sport trim lines as well as the S line exterior package. The Audi Q3 S line competition augments the lineup with a sporty new special edition. Start of sales is scheduled for fall 2016.
The updated Audi Q3 differentiates more sharply than ever before between the trim lines and packages. In the sport trim line, the premium SUV gets a new front end. The outer air inlets are larger; the blade beneath the center inlet is finished in the body color and the Singleframe grille in stone gray.
The new exterior design of the Audi Q3 is not just about aesthetics; it also enhances the vehicle’s aerodynamics. The larger outer air inlets improve airflow, which can contribute to better fuel efficiency and engine cooling. The body-colored blade beneath the center inlet adds a touch of sophistication, making the vehicle look more cohesive and stylish. The Singleframe grille in stone gray gives the front end a more aggressive and modern appearance, setting it apart from previous models.
New S Line Exterior Package
The introduction of the new S line exterior package brings a sportier look to the Audi Q3. This package includes unique design elements such as sportier bumpers, side skirts, and a rear diffuser. These features not only enhance the vehicle’s appearance but also improve its performance by reducing drag and increasing downforce. The S line package is perfect for those who want a more dynamic and athletic look for their SUV.
The Audi Q3 S line competition model takes things a step further. This special edition comes with exclusive features such as 19-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The interior is adorned with high-quality materials, including Alcantara and leather, providing a luxurious and comfortable driving experience. The S line competition model also includes advanced technology features such as a virtual cockpit, MMI navigation plus, and a premium sound system, making it a top choice for tech-savvy drivers.

Under the hood, the updated Audi Q3 offers a range of engine options to suit different driving preferences. The base model comes with a 1.4-liter TFSI engine that delivers 150 horsepower, providing a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. For those who crave more performance, there is a 2.0-liter TFSI engine available in two power outputs: 180 horsepower and 220 horsepower. These engines are paired with a seven-speed S tronic transmission, ensuring smooth and responsive gear changes.
The Audi Q3 also offers a diesel option with a 2.0-liter TDI engine, available in two power outputs: 150 horsepower and 184 horsepower. This engine is known for its excellent fuel efficiency and torque, making it a great choice for long-distance driving and towing.
