Audi Q3

The Audi Q3 is a five-door compact executive crossover by Audi. The Q3 has a transverse-mounted front engine, and entered production 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. Compared to the mid-luxury compact Q5 and full-size Q7, which are positioned more for family practicality and off-road performance, the Q3 is aimed as more of a lifestyle/sports automobile.
