The
new Audi Q3 compact SUV is in good shape to take on the UK following
the confirmation this week of keen pricing starting from £24,560 and the
finalization of an impressive equipment list for all versions.
Orders for the
third Q-model in the series, which will have the distinction of being the first
Audi SUV to offer the efficiency-focused option of a 54.3mpg front-wheel-drive
variant, begin in June and deliveries in November. |  | Four
engines will initially be available, all combining direct fuel injection with
turbo charging and all backed up by start-stop and energy recuperation systems
- the 2.0-litre TFSI petrol unit in 170PS and 211PS forms and the 2.0-litre TDI
with 140PS and 177PS. The 2.0-litre TDI 140PS unit will power the
front-wheel-drive model only at launch, deliveries of which will start in
December, shortly after the rest of the range.
All
other engines will be linked to quattro all-wheel-drive, but regardless of the
configuration secure handling will be assured by the sophisticated Electronic
Stability Program with electronic differential lock, which effectively
regulates torque distribution by braking individual wheels when they start to
slip.
