Audi has once again reminded us of its ability to subtly feel the demands of modern consumers by introducing a new basic version of the compact crossover Audi Q3, which can now be purchased at an estimated cost of about fifty-two thousand dollars. A few days ago, the flagship version of this model was already demonstrated to the general public, and now the manufacturer has decided to introduce potential buyers to a more affordable configuration, which in the future will ensure interest from a wide range of car enthusiasts. According to the latest information, the basic configuration will be available exclusively in Arkona White, which gives the car a characteristic strict appearance. Design changes affected the radiator grille, now it looks less aggressive, as well as the front and rear bumpers, the shape of which has become restrained, which emphasizes the focus on practicality and balance, without losing the recognizable style of the brand. The optics are represented by LED headlights, creating a neat visual signature, and the basic solution for the wheels is seventeen-inch alloy wheels, shod with rubber measuring 235 by 60.
The interior of the new Audi Q3 in this configuration demonstrates noticeable savings in details, but at the same time retains the visual appeal and technology, which is the hallmark of the brand. The use of simpler finishing materials made it possible to make the price of the car more competitive, but the main elements that determine comfort and modernity were retained. Thus, the interior still has a curved display, combining a digital instrument panel with a diagonal of 11.9 inches and a multimedia unit measuring 12.8 inches. The engine start button was not removed, as well as the slot for wireless charging of mobile devices, which makes using the car in everyday life convenient and intuitive. The steering wheel also differs from that installed in the top versions, and looks much simpler, but this decision is due to the need to maintain a price balance, without violating the basic requirements for ergonomics.
As for the technical part, the basic Audi Q3 is equipped with a one and a half liter gasoline engine, which operates using TFSI technology and develops a power of one hundred and fifty horsepower. It is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission S Tronic, using dual clutch technology, which allows for smooth gear shifting, improved fuel efficiency and increased overall driving pleasure. The drive system is presented in a front-wheel drive configuration, which is a logical choice for urban use and moderate fuel consumption. Thus, Audi engineers have relied on a balanced power plant that will suit a wide range of motorists who do not claim sporty dynamics, but value reliability, modernity and economy.
As of today, the manufacturer has not yet officially opened the acceptance of orders for this model, but it is safe to say that interest from consumers will be significant, especially given the attractive price and brand name. Compact crossovers remain one of the most popular segments of the automotive market, and the release of a new model from such a reputable manufacturer as Audi will definitely have an impact on the positions of competitors in this category. The car fits organically into the daily needs of city dwellers, offering an ideal balance between comfort, technology and price, and attention to detail even in the basic version speaks of the high standard that the company adheres to. It is likely that in the coming months the model will appear in the showrooms of official dealers, which means that buyers will soon have the opportunity to personally verify the relevance and competitiveness of the new offer from Audi.
