Audi AG has unveiled the third-generation Q3 to the world, complete with new hybrid engines, new technology, and completely redesigned aesthetics. With more than two million units sold since the introduction of the first-generation model, the Audi Q3 is one of the most popular SUVs produced by the Ingolstadt carmaker. The latest Audi Q3 features a sporty design language that takes cues from the larger Q5, as well as Matrix LED and OLED lighting systems, which were previously limited to the larger vehicles. In addition, the small luxury SUV is now offered with plug-in and mild-hybrid engine variations.
Audi Q3: Design of the New Generation
The newest Audi Q3 has the larger single-frame honeycomb mesh grille at the front, flanked by the split headlamps with Matrix LED technology, giving it the appearance of a smaller Q5. The pixel-shaped LED DRLs have a futuristic appearance, and the Matrix headlights below them, which contain 25,600 micro-LEDs, optimize brightness.
The updated Q3 features a large single-frame grille, split headlights, pixel-shaped LED daytime running lights, and Matrix LED headlights.With several sharp cuts along the side, the profile is proportionate and faithful to the Q3. The roofline slopes toward the back without sacrificing rear headroom, and the window line smoothly transitions into the rear windscreen while wrapping around the D-pillar. The window trim is black for a sporty appearance, and the side skirts are now completed in body color. Audi provides a variety of wheel sizes from 17 to 20 inches. Like the front, the rear has a similarly athletic look, with the split-light arrangement and the connected bar sitting lower, akin to the new-generation Audi A6. The taillights, which include OLED technology (optional), provide up to six graphics, and the four rings emblem is also illuminated. The bumper conceals the SUV's exhaust tips while giving it a more menacing appearance.
