The smallest crossover from Audi today looks very stylish and attractive. In appearance, the Audi Q3 bears similarities with the larger Audi Q5 and the huge Audi Q7.

The room for legs, the width of the cabin and the headroom, however, will be minimal, but do not forget that the Audi Q3 is a mini-crossover with a body length of only 4385 mm. They ruin a nice picture rear seats narrow doorway and wide threshold - sit on rear seats not convenient enough. The trunk with five passengers in the cabin can accommodate 460 liters of luggage when the backrests are lowered rear seats a flat area, alas, is not possible, but the volume cargo compartment increases to 1365 liters.

Permanent all-wheel drive with Haldex coupling (electronic locks differentials).
Compact in Russia Audi crossover The 2013 Q3 is offered with one diesel and two gasoline engines. Gearboxes - 6 speed manual only for entry-level gasoline engine and an automatic transmission - a 7-speed robot with two clutch discs, available for all engines.

Fuel consumption according to the manufacturer is from 5.3 liters on the highway to 7 liters in the city. According to reviews from owners, diesel really has a moderate appetite and is only 0.5-1 liter higher than the declared diesel fuel consumption.
Gasoline
- A 2.0-liter TFSI (170 hp) with a 6-speed manual transmission (S tronic), capable of delivering a driver and a car weighing from 1510 kg to 100 mph in 7.8 seconds, maximum speed 212 km/h. Certified fuel consumption ranges from 6.1 (6.4) liters outside the city to 9.5 (10.2) liters in urban mode.

Test Drive The Audi Q3 pleases with excellent sound and noise insulation of the interior, sharp and informative steering, a down-tuned and rigid suspension that allows high speed move not only along a straight road, but also without fear of storming sharp turns.

On the asphalt, the crossover demonstrates the habits of an ordinary compact passenger car, driving enthusiastically and sportily. Leaving the solid road surface When driving a Ku3, there is no need to fear that the SUV is not capable of driving off-road. The compact crossover can easily cope with muddy dirt roads, virgin snow and country roads. The quattro all-wheel drive, although it does not have forced differential locks, is capable of coping with the wheels hanging out, and with careful handling of the accelerator pedal it will allow you to overcome a rather difficult section of the road. Well, the native element of the Audi Q3 is the urban jungle and country highways; the car is designed for fast and spirited driving.
Another disadvantage of the model as a whole is the traditionally high prices for maintenance, spare parts and repairs of Audi and Ku 3 cars. in this case not an exception.

Audi cars always stand out for their shape and build quality. The Audi Q2 crossover has expanded its comfort line. Let's look at its configuration, what the body features are, as well as the price, photos and videos
Review content:
The Audi Q2 crossover has just appeared on the market; this series simply did not exist before. For many fans of crossovers, this is a chance and a ticket to buy an inexpensive, but quality car. I would like to say right away that the Audi Q2 is significantly cheaper than its already proven sister, the Audi Q3. Essentially this is the same crossover but in smaller forms.
Appearance of the new Q2 2017
Crossover shapes are made in modern style according to the latest technologies. The designers have tastefully calculated all the contours, curves and other details that will attract the attention of even the most demanding buyer.
At the front of the Audi Q2 crossover, a large radiator grille with a ribbed mesh insert catches the eye. At the top of the grille are the famous Audi rings that many drivers dream of. There is a chrome edging around the radiator grille along the entire perimeter, and the grille itself is extended forward, like the Q7, this gives the Q2 crossover more rigor.
The front optics of the Audi Q2, this is another part of the crossover for which this company is famous, elegant shapes and the last word technologies make the crossover look at the same time strict, attractive and frightening. As standard, all trim levels are equipped with LED front optics with daytime running lights.
Under the crossover's optics, as expected, front optics washers are located, regardless of the configuration, but the bumper will depend on which configuration the buyer has chosen. The lower part of the bumper may differ; in the Audi Q2 SE and Sport trim levels, the lower part is divided into three sections. In the middle there is an additional grille for cooling the engine, and on the sides there are inserts with large chrome trims. For an additional fee, LED fog lights can be installed. In the third Audi equipment The Q2 S Line's lower section consists of a continuous, long and narrow grille, highlighted at the bottom by a long chrome surround.
The side of the Audi Q2 is reminiscent of the older Q5 model in many ways. Smooth body lines, plastic lining on the wheel arches and on the sills under the doors. But there are still differences and quite noticeable ones. For example, the installation location of the side rear view mirrors is different. In the Audi Q3 they are installed in the corner of the doors and glass, in the Q2 they are installed directly on the door frame itself. The door handles were left as in other new crossovers and SUVs, but they decided to change the rear part.
Often, in crossovers and SUVs, between the trunk lid and back door install additional glass. In the Audi Q2, the designers decided to replace it with a plastic insert. This insert is standard silver color, if desired, it can be replaced with a black one for free, but for a white insert you will have to pay an additional $220. At the buyer's request, the standard Audi Q2 bumper can be replaced free of charge with a sports bumper.
Having examined the Audi Q2 from the side, it is worth noting the branded alloy wheels, on which the crossover is installed. The standard installation is 17" alloy wheels with 5 spokes, adding $440, you will have the same 17" wheels installed with seven spokes. If you want even more, then for $1170 they will install 18" alloy wheels with 5 spokes of a sports design.
The rear of the crossover combines the shape different models Audi, the lower part of the bumper, but the upper part is more unique. A wing painted to match the body color was placed above the trunk lid glass. A wiper is located at the bottom of the glass; such a small glass at first glance gives the driver enough space to understand the situation behind. The rear optics of the Audi Q2, for an additional cost of $1225, will be LED, plus sensors for controlling the optics will appear.
As for the roof of the Audi crossover, the standard is smooth without ribs. Additional package comfort will allow you to install a sunroof on the roof or pay $1100 to make the roof panoramic.
Audi’s price list for the Q2 model states that, at the buyer’s request, the crossover’s recognition data and the company logo can be removed free of charge. The lower part of the Audi bumper is emphasized by an insert with a chrome trim; at the very bottom, depending on the engine, there may be one or two exhausts, with two or four tips, respectively.
The dimensions of the Audi Q2 2017 are not so large:
- length 4191 mm;
- height 1508 mm;
- width 1794 mm;
- wheelbase 2601 mm.

Many people know that the interior Audi cars comfortable and thought out to the smallest detail. Similarly, the designers did not ignore the new Audi Q2. The front panel, one might say, is made simply, but is packed with a lot of modern technologies.
In the standard configuration of the Audi Q2 crossover, the instrument panel will consist of analog instruments, and in the middle there is a monochrome 3.5" display. By adding $200, the display will change from monochrome to color. But if you want more, you will need to pay an additional $2000, and then the instrument panel will completely change .
Instead of analog speedometer and tachometer indicators, Audi engineers will install a high-quality display at 12.3". Depending on the selected mode, the location of the speedometer, tachometer, and other sensors will change, as well as the backlight.
Unusual, you can highlight the holes for air supply, instead of the usual rectangular or square shapes, in the Audi Q2 they were made round and somewhat similar to airplane turbines. There are two in the middle and one on the sides. In the center of the front panel there is a touch display of the multimedia system; depending on the configuration, it can be 12" or a more modest 8".
In addition to the audio system, the Audi crossover display will display information about the engine status, navigation maps and images from cameras located around the crossover. Below the screen there are a number of buttons for controlling various functions of the Audi Q2, for example, an emergency parking button, heated mirrors and windshield, and others.
Even lower is the control panel for dual-zone climate control and heated and cooled seats. Available as manual control, and completely auto mode. Going lower, there are cup holders and chargers for USB gadgets, as well as a cigarette lighter.
Here, near the gearshift lever, the designers placed the engine Start/Stop button; behind the lever there is a menu for setting up and selecting parameters for the Audi Q2 crossover. You can select a driving mode, adjust the suspension, or adjust other vehicle parameters to suit you. Between the seats in standard equipment armrest included. For an additional $410 you will receive an armrest with a wireless charger for smartphones and a cooling compartment for drinks.
What is it like? steering wheel Audi Q2, a standard round steering wheel with three spokes and multi-control will be installed as standard. For an additional $190, the steering wheel will be a sporty version and will be flattened at the bottom, with additional buttons suspension control.
Finally, let’s look at the interior of the crossover itself; for the most part, black interior colors will be available for now. The front seats of the Audi Q2 will be made in a sporty style with adaptive headrests and the ability to fasten child seat on the front passenger or rear row of seats. By adding $320, the crossover's front seats will get the function electronic adjustment in four directions.
Standard cladding Audi interior Q2 will be leather, black or gray with grey, black or red seat inserts. For $1,630, the interior changes to all black or gray, with red, gray or yellow lines, but no inserts.
The front panel of the Audi Q2 is similar, on which there is a plastic insert; the standard insert is made of polished aluminum, like other instrument decorations.

DKW, Horch, Wanderer, Audi... Four German automobile plant with a long history, four different stories, unification in 1909, four rings symbolizing the unity of these companies. Surely it immediately became clear to everyone what kind of car brand there will be a speech. Today we will look at the most prominent representatives of the “off-road” world, originally from Ingolstadt - Audi SUVs. What can I say - this brand there is already sufficient quantity time and has earned the recognition of millions of fans and connoisseurs around the world. For completeness and quality of the review, we will take not only the most massive representatives of the brand. Cars such as the Audi Q3 crossover, A6 Allroad, etc. also deserve attention.
First of all, let's look at the "lightest" models from Audi - crossovers, which are a combination of the advantages of a real off-road vehicle and the advantages of a light sedan that feels confident in the concrete jungle of the city.
In November 2008, engineers and designers from Ingolstadt showed the world the new Audi Q5 crossover. The car was produced as a competitor popular models, How Mercedes GLK and BMW X3. And, it’s worth noting, the car really turned out to be extremely successful, as in technically, and in terms of appearance and interior.
What immediately catches your eye when looking at the Audi Q5? What is missing from this crossover's main rivals? The car is distinguished by its stylish and dynamic image. It contains such bright solutions as the signature radiator grille, LED optics that create the effect of “flickering eyes”, a sweeping silhouette combined with elegance and sophistication. The Audi body is distinguished by a large number of dynamic lines, which only emphasize the coupe-like shape of the roof and hood. In general, Q5 crossovers are distinguished by their appearance.
When examining the interior of the Audi Q5, the ergonomics immediately catches your eye - it is, of course, at its best. Comfortable chairs with mechanical adjustment They secure passengers well and have a huge number of different adjustments. Like any premium SUV, the Q5's interior is distinguished by the presence of only high-quality materials - leather, precious wood, chrome, Alcantara. There is a convenient central control panel with display for on-board system management.
Q5 crossovers have amazing technical characteristics. Despite the fact that the car is a crossover, the suspension allows you to feel confident even in off-road conditions. Wide range Audi engines The Q5, with its high torque and turbochargers, achieves good dynamic performance.
After success at automotive market, which accompanied the Audi Q5, the Ingolstadt team decided to expand the line of crossovers with another model – the compact crossover Q3. This is the most small SUV from Audi. But this does not mean that it has no dynamics or off-road. The company again distinguished itself in the market by releasing a truly unique model in mid-2011.
Audi Q3 is the owner of the most dynamic design in your class. Crossovers have a bright dominant appearance element that attracts the attention of others - a large radiator grille that has beveled corners. Distinctive feature This mini-SUV has high-quality and unique optics, which are unique only to the Audi model range.
The car interior is distinguished by a high level of comfort and quality materials. Of course, the Audi Q3 does not have this spacious interior, like the Q7 SUV, but in terms of convenience it is in no way inferior to it. The decoration uses plastic that is pleasant to the touch and expensive, high-quality leather.
The technical characteristics of the Audi Q3 are as high as those of its brothers. It is worth noting that the car is one of the fastest in its class. Separately, I would like to draw attention to the safety of the car. In this case, we can safely say that the Audi Q3 is real SUV, and not just a crossover. The body frame is made of high-strength sheet iron and hot-formed steel parts, which are incredibly durable. All this as a whole ensures reliability and safety in any conditions and in any terrain. Needless to say, Audi’s smallest SUV turned out great.
Here we come to the largest representative of this brand – the Audi Q7 model. This particular car is a prominent representative SUVs automobile concern Audi. In a few words, this SUV is a combination of versatility, sportiness and luxury of an executive car.
The front and rear body kits, which have sporty curves and powerful rear ribs with pillars that are inclined at a large angle, create a memorable silhouette. The optics of the Audi Q7 can be called unremarkable, but the LEDs installed inside add a unique uniqueness, so it looks very laconic and at the same time impressive. Front bumper continues with powerful stampings around the perimeter of the body and powerful wheel arches.
Despite the fact that the Q7 SUV has quite large dimensions, it can rush at speeds that can only be achieved sports cars. Amazing dynamic characteristics Audi Q7 is available thanks to the high level of technological performance of all components, from the engine to the suspension.
This car is a kind of hybrid, which includes both a sedan and a crossover. A6 allroad is far from the most popular Audi model on domestic market, the Q5 and Q7 models enjoy great “respect” among us. It’s not surprising - if a person wants an SUV or a compact crossover, then why choose a car that looks more like a station wagon? The A6 allroad costs significantly more than the Q5, so when choosing, you can already pay attention to the Q7 SUVs. Nevertheless, in a narrow circle of connoisseurs the car remains revered and worthy of attention.
The Audi A6 allroad has one strong point- this is the interior. Its quality is so high, and its execution is so refined and at the same time carelessly rough, that it leaves the “cave” interior of the Audi Q7 far behind. What then can we say about the Q5?
The quality and comfort of driving this sedan + crossover hybrid makes you forget about the road altogether. Why? You just don't feel it. The car is much more comfortable while driving than the same Q3 and Q5 crossovers.
The only drawback of the Audi A6 allroad is its high price. Although, it fully justifies itself, given the high dynamic characteristics, simply unreal quality of the interior, convenience and Allroad capabilities that even some venerable SUVs do not have.
Another “off-road” Audi model is the A4 allroad. After the official presentation in the spring of 2009, there were many questions regarding this model: why is it needed? And in order to shorten the hole model range between SUVs and sedans. But didn’t I go too far? Audi company? Will cars create unnecessary competition? As it turned out later, the car not only successfully “fit” into the off-road segment, but also became one of its leaders.
The power characteristics of the A4 allroad crossovers remain the same as those of the sedans, however, the filling and “appearance” have undergone significant changes. The car received additional protection bodies for off-road travel, new systems added dynamic stabilization. This small SUV is significantly taller than an ordinary station wagon, which allows it to move comfortably even on average off-road conditions (of course, it won’t go through swamps, but who needs to drive an Audi A4 allroad through swamps?).
In premium cars it is not customary to skimp on the interior. And in this regard, the Audi A4 allroad adheres to this policy. There are no complaints about either the quality or the ergonomics of the interior - everything is perfect. top level. And this is not at all surprising, because one could not expect anything else from the designers from Ingolstadt.
Without a doubt, the A4 allroad mini-SUV is very good looking. However, it remains main question: who is it for? For those who didn't have enough money for an Audi Q5? No. In Germany, the latter costs even less than the A4. This is a car for those who are pretty tired of clumsy SUVs and family station wagons, A compact crossovers are not suitable due to rather low indicators (most often).
