2013 Audi Q3

The Audi Q3 (internally designated Typ 8U), is a five-door compact coupé crossover by Audi that was launched in 2011. The car uses the Volkswagen Group A5 (PQ35) platform of the Volkswagen Golf Mk5, the same as the Volkswagen Tiguan/SEAT Tribu small SUVs. The Q3 slots above the proposed Audi Q2 mini crossover.

The Q3 borrows many Golf Mk5 parts, and also Golf Mk6 parts, components, such as a Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) dual clutch transmission and a 155 kW (208 hp) 2.0 FSI turbo engine featured in the current Golf GTI. The vehicle also features a 171 kW (229 hp) 3.0 turbo-diesel V6 and a 210 kW (282 hp) 3.6 FSI V6 for the flagship, the Q3S.
