Podcasts about Audi Q3

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero En este nuevo episodio tenemos el placer de charlar con Nacho González, director de comunicación de Audi España, con motivo de la presentación del completamente renovado Audi Q3. Un SUV que ha sido clave en la gama de la marca durante más de una década y que ahora da un paso adelante en diseño, tecnología y eficiencia para seguir siendo una referencia en el competido segmento C premium. Durante la conversación, Nacho nos desvela las claves del nuevo modelo: desde su evolución estética —con una imagen más afilada, musculosa y alineada con el nuevo lenguaje de diseño de la marca— hasta los cambios más profundos que afectan a su interior, la conectividad o la apuesta por nuevas motorizaciones electrificadas. El nuevo Q3 no es una simple actualización, sino una generación completamente nueva con vocación de líder. También abordamos cómo se ha adaptado el Q3 a las nuevas exigencias del mercado europeo, tanto en términos de sostenibilidad como de digitalización. Nacho nos cuenta cómo Audi ha reforzado su apuesta por ofrecer una experiencia premium no solo en marcha, sino también en la relación del usuario con el vehículo, incorporando servicios conectados, nuevos asistentes y materiales más sostenibles. Por último, reflexionamos sobre el papel del Q3 dentro de la estrategia global de Audi, la importancia del mercado español para este modelo y el futuro inmediato de la marca en un contexto de transición hacia la electrificación total. Un episodio imprescindible para los amantes del motor, los seguidores de Audi y todos aquellos interesados en cómo evolucionan los coches más allá del simple transporte.

Weltweit hat Audi seit Einführung der ersten Generation des Audi Q3 insgesamt mehr als zwei Millionen Fahrzeuge verkauft, somit ist der Wagen eines der absatzstärksten Modelle im Produktportfolio. Damit das so bleibt, erneuert Audi die Baureihe mit der dritten Modellgeneration umfassend. Bei Technik und Optik, versteht sich. Seine innovatives Bedienkonzept sowie zahlreiche Assistenzsysteme erhöhen nicht nur die Sicherheit, sondern auch den Komfort.  Darum geht es diesmalAudi legt mit der dritten Generation des Q3 die Messlatte im Premium-SUV-Kompaktsegment wieder eine Stufe höher und setzt in mehrfacher Hinsicht neue Maßstäbe. Das Exterieur präsentiert sich selbstbewusst und emotional, zudem lassen innovative Funktionen den Audi Q3 zum digitalen Begleiter werden. Wir werfen einen ersten Blick auf den jüngsten Spross der Ingolstädter!  Power und Drive!    Schauen wir zunächst auf die Antriebe. Los geht es mit dem Audi Q3 SUV TFSI mit 110 kW (150 PS) Mild-Hybrid-System und serienmäßiger Siebengang S tronic. Sein System „Cylinder on demand“ (COD) legt bei niedrigen und mittleren Lasten den zweiten und dritten Zylinder vorübergehend still, das spart Treibstoff. Unter den reinen Verbrennern ist der Audi Q3 SUV TFSI mit 2,0 Liter-Vierzylinder, Siebengang S tronic, quattro Antrieb und 195 kW (265 PS) das Spitzenaggregat. Besonders für Langstrecken geeignet ist der Audi Q3 SUV TDI mit 110 kW (150 PS), Vorderradantrieb und serienmäßiger Siebengang S tronic. Ich selbst bin seit einiger Zeit ein Fan von Plug-in-Hybriden, seit deren rein elektrische Reichweite gewachsen ist. So wie beim Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid mit 200 kW (272 PS) Systemleistung, 400 Nm Systemdrehmoment und einer erwarteten elektrischen Reichweite von bis zu 119 Kilometern im WLTP-Zyklus. Und: Im Gegensatz zu vielen früher angebotenen Plug-in-Hybriden diverser Hersteller, die nur langsam laden konnten und die das Nachladen unterwegs zu einer stundenlangen Geduldsprobe machten, kann der Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid 200 kW bei idealen Voraussetzungen bis zu 50 kW DC-Schnellladen. Eine bis auf zehn Prozent entladene Batterie ist so in weniger als einer halben Stunde wieder auf 80 Prozent geladen.  Das erlaubt auch komfortables Reisen mit elektrischem Antrieb. Die Kosten!Audi beginnt im Oktober dieses Jahres mit der Markteinführung, bestellbar ist der neue Q3 bereits ab dem Sommer. Den Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 110 kW (150 PS) wird in Deutschland zu einem Einstiegspreis ab 44.600 Euro geben. Der Preis für den aus meiner Sicht besonders interessanten Plug-in-Hybriden mit 200 kW (272 PS) beginnt bei 49.300 Euro. Das wäre meine Wahl. Alle Fotos: © Audi AG    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Wismo Group, importøren af bl.a. Peugeot og Opel, fyrer op under leasingmarkedet med fire stærke elbiler og priser, der skubber til hele balancen i mellemklassen. Samtidig kan Bilradio løfte sløret for de første leasingpriser på Zeekr. Bilradio handler i denne uge om det måske mest aggressive leasingfremstød, vi har set i år. Wismo Group vender tilbage med ild i øjnene og et arsenal af tilbud, der skal få selv etablerede elbilfavoritter til at se sig i bakspejlet. Der er tilbud over hele linjen – fra den lille Peugeot E-208 til E-2008, Opel Frontera og de større Peugeot E-3008 GT og Opel Grandland Electric – med god rækkevidde og solidt udstyr til omkring 3.000 kr. om måneden. Jan Lang kalder det "nogle af de bedste tilbud lige nu". Og tallene bakker op: Privatleasing udgør nu 39 procent af alle nye biler. Bilradio kan også løfte sløret for de første privatleasingpriser på den meget omtalte Zeekr 7X – elbilen med nærmest ekstrem ladeevne. Øvrige emner i denne uges podcast: • Meget dårlige nyheder, hvis du skal forbi Hamborg i næste weekend• Mercedes med fem års garanti – men kun lidt endnuGarantikampagnen er forlænget til 30. september, men gælder stadig kun seks elbiler og føles mere som tøven end egentlig strategi. • Audi Q3 skrotter stilken – og finder sin nye identitetDen nye Q3 lander med Tesla/Ferrari-lignende ratbetjening. • Mercedes-AMG GT XX: Elbil på steroiderOver 1.300 hk, aksial-fluxmotor, 850 kW opladning og et sci-fi-batteri. AMG viser muskler – men hvem har egentlig brug for det? • Renault 5 E-Tech vs. BYD Dolphin Surf – en duel med kantTo elbiler til folket, men kun én af dem føles som en rigtig bil. • Første danske forhandler af Omoda og JaecooKinesiske mærker med kringlede navne er på vej ind i de danske showrooms. • Lytterspørgsmål:Er det en dårlig idé at købe en stor brugt elbil lige nu?

Classic American cars evoke powerful nostalgia, and during this episode, we dive deep into the iconic models of yesteryear – from the star-studded headliners of the Pontiac Star Chief to the chrome-laden beauty of the Buick Wildcat. These automotive masterpieces featured intricate details that modern vehicles simply can't match, with headlight bezels alone containing upwards of 14 perfectly fitted chrome parts.The conversation shifts to modern vehicle technology with a spirited debate about auto start-stop systems. While environmentally beneficial, these fuel-saving features can create dangerous situations in Houston traffic when quick acceleration is needed. We share real-world experiences with various implementations of this technology, highlighting why some drivers immediately disable it when entering their vehicles.The highlight of the show is our comprehensive review of the 2025 Lexus UX300H hybrid SUV. This compact luxury vehicle impressed with its outstanding fuel economy (45mpg city/41mpg highway), comfortable ride despite its short wheelbase, and premium interior materials. Perhaps most surprising is its competitive pricing, starting at just $36,540 – thousands less than European rivals like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA.We also examine fascinating vehicle theft statistics showing the largest annual decline in four decades, largely thanks to improved anti-theft measures from manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia. These companies have effectively addressed security vulnerabilities that once made them prime targets for thieves and social media trends like the "Kia Boys."Join us every Saturday morning for the live In Wheel Time Car Show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and inwheeltimecom, or catch our podcasts on all major streaming platforms.

Driving Audi's best seller today – the compact Q3 40 TFSI quattro S-LineSportback SUV – a 2.0-litre turbo 132kW four-cylinder seven-speed dual clutchautomatic with all-wheel-drive. I've always highly regarded the Audi Q3 and thesloped roof Sportback variant adds another perspective – these days its grown inprice like a lot of cars – now $78,245 drive-away but fortunately still under theluxury car tax threshold. A roomy cabin and nicely proportioned power frontseats make this a very comfortable compact SUV – it's the perfect package sizefor four good sized adults. And despite the sloped roof, headroom in the rearremains nearly as good as the wagon version. A flat bottom steering wheel givesit a sporty feel while an excellent dash and instrumentation with large touchscreen and a driver's display can be configured in different ways. The drivingside features a nice torque band from 1400 to 3900 revs while Sports mode stepsup the enjoyment level making it real driver's car. Push it hard however and it canbecome a little thirsty, I managed 8.9l/100 on 95 grade petrol. But with a stack ofconvenience, comfort and driving features the compact Audi Q3 Sportback offersjust so much despite its hefty price tag.

Driving Audi's compact Q3 SUV today – available in both five-door Wagon and Sportback. The Q3, Audi's best seller, and the biggest selling small prestige SUV. I'm driving the Audi Q3 2.0-litre turbo 40TFSI quattro S-line Sportback, $78,245 drive-away, not inexpensive today but importantly, still under the luxury car tax threshold. The Audi Q3 Sportback has always appealed, the perfect package size, the sloped roof giving it a sporty feel. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo driving through a seven-speed automatic to all four wheels plus Audi drive select with four different drive modes – this aspect so rewarding – all-wheel drive giving it a solid footprint on the road with well shod 20-inch alloy wheels. The Audi Q3 Sportback excels in interior room, seat comfort, 360-degree cameras, power front seats, leather trim, a great dash and instrumentation and thankfully knobs and buttons for temperature and fan speed, far superior to the touchscreen functionality of many cars today. It also features a full gamut of infotainment services like weather, fuel prices and Google services plus Audi virtual cockpit plus with a digital configurable instrument cluster and much more. Warranty five- years/unlimited kilometre. The Audi Q3 Sportback remains an impressive compact premium SUV and one can see why it is so popular.

A invasão chinesa trouxe bons preços para carros elétricos no Brasil, mas não foi só isso. Carros franceses, italianos, alemães e até americanos também sofreram com a festa dos descontos. No Máquinas na Pan, montamos uma lista dos cinco carros 100% elétricos mais baratos e cinco a combustão com precinho especial. Na reta final de 2023, temos dois lançamentos: a Audi com a série especial do Q3 numa vinícola, dando um toque de glamour. E o Fiat Fastback apareceu na versão mais venenosa, o Abarth. Além disso, o quadro com executivos "Ligados na Tomada" traz o vice-presidente da Ford na América do Sul, Rogélio Golfarb, com uma entrevista eletrizante. E falando em eletrizante, até onde vai a cobertura do seguro do seu carro? Se o bicho pifar, pode levar na oficina da esquina ou na concessionária oficial da marca? Boris Ber, o presidente do sindicato de seguros de São Paulo, responde essas e outras perguntas. Vem conferir!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The small Encore crossover has been Buick's best-selling car for years now. The 2024 Encore GX (the smaller non-GX model is discontinued) gets the brand's new face from the Wildcat concept vehicle, a new instrument panel and the reimagined Tri-Shield logo. Is this enough to temp buyers away from mainstream competitors like Mazda CX-30, Honda HR-V or Kia Seltos (or even spendy rigs like Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes GLA or Volvo XC 40)? Tom Voelk checks out a mid-level trim Sport Touring model with the popular option packages.

In dieser Folge gibt es eine Premiere: Mit dem UX ist zum ersten Mal ein Lexus bei Roadtrip - Der Auto-Podcast dabei. Lexus-Pressesprecherin Marieluise Mammitzsch verrät außerdem, für wen das japanische Kompakt-SUV eine echte Alternative ist und warum sie nie in einem Mercedes sitzen möchte. Natürlich schauen wir uns in dieser Folge auch an, was der Lexus UX mit seinem Hybridantrieb besser kann als der Audi Q3, der BMW X2 oder der Mercedes GLA.

The 2023 BMW X1 redesign brings more features, room, and power, but does it have enough to compete with the Audi Q3, Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and other competitors in the entry-level luxury SUV segment?

The Cadillac XT4 Sport is a compact crossover positioned against Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes GLB. All of them are entry level premium vehicles. The American competes better than you might imagine, it just depends on what you want out of your vehicle. Tom Voelk checks out a loaded AWD Sport model with self-parking (which works pretty darn well). There is that as-tested price of $58K though…

“If you desire big and unapologetic things, you achieve big and unapologetic things.” “If you desire big and unapologetic things, you achieve big and unapologetic things.”   In todays episode I share the exact steps I personally use to set my goals for ‘23. I have been using this method for years with a lot of success. It's exactly this method that has landed me a #1 podcast show on iTunes, helped me sell out numerous of big live events and my first Audi Q3. I will explain it all in detail in this episode. I will also share my ‘23 goals later on Instagram, love to receive yours as well in my dm or by tagging me.   Listen to the episode here.

Uma mulher de 29 anos morreu vítima de um acidente de trânsito em Brusque na noite desta terça-feira (25). Siliana Maia de Oliveira era advogada e esposa do atual presidente da OAB Brusque. Ela conduzia um Audi Q3 quando saiu da pista e caiu em uma ribanceira. A filha do casal, de apenas nove meses, foi encontrada com vida.

During this program, the 2022 Audi Q3 S-Line luxury crossover is reviewed; why pedestrians may not be completely helpless when it comes to life-saving technologies; and why passenger rail travel is making a comeback 

This week, I drive the Audi Q3 subcompact luxury crossover SUV to see how it stacks up.  Based on the impressive A3 sedan, the Audi entry enters a segment with plenty of worthy competition. 

WLS News Anchor Rob Martier, DriveChicago.com General Manager Mark Bilek and Chicago Auto Show Marketing Director Jim OBrill are reviewing the Audi Q3, talking with Aaron Gofton from Chevrolet about the new Blazer EZ, and taking a Quick Spin in the BMW i4 with Jill Ciminillo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 30! Pretty standard one here, folks. We drove some cars, we're gonna drive a few more, and we're tempted to buy others. This week we go over our time with the Audi Q3 and the BMW iX M60. Both were good but in very different ways. This next week we welcome the Cadillac XT4 and the Lexus IS 350 to DM HQ. Should make for some interested videos, and maybe a boring one or two. Oh, and Charlie is tempted to buy a Pontiac Aztek.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

Ahh yes, finally back to a normal episode of talking about boring cars and how good or not good they are. This week, we had the pleasure of spending time in the 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country with the refreshed interior. And we'd both pick it over an F-150. We also had a VW Passat, and while it's good, it's also dead, so it doesn't matter. This week, we're getting a BMW iX M60 which should be fantastic as well as an Audi Q3 which is okay. And we're picking up a Polaris Slingshot which should be...interesting. Enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

Ya hemos probado el Alfa Romeo Tonale y además hemos tenido la oportunidad de hablar con los responsables de la marca en Europa para que nos cuente cómo será su hoja de ruta. Y esta es el resultado de un viaje rápido hacia conseguir ser una marca neutra en carbono. Y es que en 2027 Alfa Romeo quiere ser una marca completamente eléctrica con modelos en su gama solo cero emisiones. Aunque de momento y como veréis en este podcast motor tiene variantes en el Alfa Romeo Tonale de gasolina, diésel e híbridas enchufadles (PHEV). El Tonale llega para completar una gama que sólo estaba compuesta por dos modelos, la berlina Alfa Romeo Giulia y el suv Alfa Romeo Stelvio. De momento el Tonale cuenta con gran expectación pues en la preventa on line cuenta ya con 4.000 pedidos. Además la marca tiene puesta mucha fe en el y parece que tendrá 5 años de garantía en los vehículos financiados. En este programa podrás escuchar una interesante entrevista con la Responsable de Comunicación de Alfa Romeo en España, Paula Bartolomé, que nos avisa que estamos ante el Alfa Romeo más tecnológico de la historia. Incorpora detalles como que tiene hasta 22 pulgadas de pantallas en su interior. El mejor del segmento. No se olvida tampoco de sus antecesores y en su interior luce como nunca el 'cannocciale' que es la característica forma del cuadro de instrumentos que recuerda a los faros de los Alfa clásicos. En cuanto a modernidad integra soluciones que están pensadas para disfrutar en el salón de casa como Alexa. Así como acabados de primer nivel y materiales de calidad como el salpicadero cubierto de alcántara con pespuntes en rojo o la pieza de enfrente del copiloto símil aluminio pero retroiluminada. Otros elementos a destacar son el botón de arranque en el volante como sus hermanos mayores, la conectividad My Alfa Connect, una gran cantidad de ayudas a la conducción que le proporcionan un nivel 2 de conducción autónoma. Además es el primer coche en incorporar tecnología NFT para registrar cuál ha sido su uso y revalorizarlo en su venta posterior. Por otra parte sus acabados serán TI, Veloce, Súper y Sprint. El Alfa Romeo Tonale es un SUV de 4,53 metros de longitud que llega al mercado para batirse con rivales como el Audi Q3, el BMW X1, el Lexus UX y el Mercedes-Benz GLA. Su maletero es de 500 litros Ya puedes reservar tu Alfa Romeo Tonale que comenzará a venderse en junio de 2022. El primero en llegar es la versión con hibridación ligera de 130 CV, cambio automático y un precio de 39.000 euros (Edizione Speciale). Llega al mercado con esta gama de motorizaciones: -Híbrido ligero gasolina con dos niveles de potencia: 130 y 160 CV motor eléctrico integrado en la caja de cambios de 20,4 CV de potencia que funciona a 48 voltios y que da apoyo al motor de combustión en las aceleraciones. Se alimenta de una batería de 0,8 kWh de capacidad y puede mover al coche por sí solo a velocidades no superiores a 30 km/h -Diesel 131cv de etiqueta C. 1.6 litros. Doble embrague 6 marchas. -Híbrido enchufable Q4 con etiqueta cero, un motor de combustión de 180 CV y un motor eléctrico de 88 kW (120 CV). Unos 60km autonomía en eléctrico. Combustión es un 1.3 litros. Batería de 15,5 kmh En lo que se refiere a nivel dinámico cuenta con una suspensión tipo Mcpherson que es exclusiva para el Tonale. Además de una dirección muy trabajada para hacerla muy directa, con un tacto ajustado al ritmo de conducción, precisa, que transmita lo que ocurre en las ruedas. Destaca también por incorporar un chasis muy reforzado. Por otra parte lleva un sistema en los amortiguadores capaz de regular la capacidad de trabajo del mismo para ser más confortable en extensión y comprensión. En definitiva un coche muy bien hecho gracias a sus 15.000 horas de software en el simulador y a más de 4 millones de kms en los vehículos de test. Por supuesto incorpora los modos de conducción Alfa DNA para lograr un set up al gusto del conductor. (Dynamic, Neutral, Eficiencia) Combina unos frenos eléctricos con unos convencionales para lograr un tacto perfecto. Gran culpa de su excelente comportamiento la tiene el Dynamic Torque Vectoring que distribuye el par vía frenos para lograr que las ruedas siempre giren a la vez y la tracción sea máxima. Unas pinceladas sobre la conducción que puedes ampliar cuando escuches este podcast motor. Muy efectivo y fácil. El motor de 160 caballos, que es un cuatro cilindros, de 1,5 litros de cilindrada y turbo corre suficiente para ser divertido. Muy poco balanceo de carrocería. Dirección precisa. Muy buena frenada pero algo brusca por un pedal muy sensible. Un coche que transmite mucho más de lo que te esperas de un suv. Desde luego nada que ver con sus hermanos de Stellantis.

This was delayed from last year as the new boss said it just wasn't good enough. The powertrains offered will be mild hybrids, plug-in hybrid, diesel and petrol engines. Prices are expected to start around £35,000 rising up to £45,000. The exterior is a clean and good looking car, with a return of three lights to each headlight cluster. The interior is familiar to anyone who has experienced an Alfa in recent years. To learn more, click the EVO link here. Vauxhall AstraThis is the first Stellantis platformed Astra, which is based heavily on the current Peugeot 308 underpinnings. This has lead to a lowering, widening and overall lengthening of the car, but it seems the interior is less practical with the lowered roofline and seating position. The front end is very good looking, but then you can see the resemblance with the 308 moving further back. The interior is a big improvement and much more upmarket. Power trains will be a either a choice of petrol, one diesel, plug-in hybrid or wait for a full EV. Prices start at around £27,000 for the petrol engine but there is a £4000 increase for plug-in models. To learn more, click the Autocar article here.

La actualidad nos ha dejado sin tratar un tema muy interesante y que complementa muy bien nuestro espacio de análisis de Euro NCAP en el podcast de AutoFM. El IIHS estrena crash test y solo 1 de 20 SUV consigue aprobar con nota alta. ¿Qué es el IIHS? ¿Es el Euro NCAP americano? El IIHS es una organización científica independiente, sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a reducir los fallecidos en accidentes de tráfico en los Estados Unidos. ¿Cómo es el ensayo de impacto lateral que hacen ahora? El anterior impacto lateral que arrancó en 2003 era con un carro de 1.497 Kg a 50 Km/h. El actual impacto lateral con un carro de 1.896 Kg a una velocidad de 60 Km/h. el carro tiene un diseño y altura del frontal que simulan a un SUV o Pick-up americano. EuroNCAP lleva haciendo impactos laterales desde 1997 y en 2020 se endurecen estos ensayos pasa de impactar a 50 km/h un carro de 1300 kg a impactar lateralmente a 60 Km/h un carro de una masa de 1400 kg. La energía del impacto aumenta el 55 %. El impacto lateral americano llega un año y pico más tarde y es más severo, pero representa la realidad americana, no la realidad europea. Aquí los coches son algo más bajos y más ligeros. Han inaugurado esta nueva prueba y los resultados son un desastre, son datos para que los fabricantes de coches mejoren sus vehículos. Solo el Mazda CX-5 ha conseguido la máxima puntuación de Bueno, la de color verde. Por detrás estarían 9 coches calificados con la nota mínima para aprobar de Acceptable, amarillo: Audi Q3, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Volvo XC40, Nissan Rogue, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax y Toyota Venza. Ya en entre los suspensos nos encontramos 8 coches con la calificación de Marginal o baja, anaranjada: Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, Kia Sportage, Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, GMC Terrain y Lincoln Corsair. Los casos más preocupantes al obtener la nota Pobre o roja: Honda HR-V y Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

Manchmal hat man den Verdacht, dass alle paar Monate neue Fahrzeugkategorien auf den Markt kommen.  So hat Audi seine Modellpalette vor einiger Zeit um einen Kompakt-SUV in Coupé Form – den Audi Q3 Sportback erweitert. Das neue Modell soll als erster kompakten Crossover der Marke Audi die starke Präsenz und den vielseitigen Alltagsnutzen eines SUV mit der sportlichen Eleganz und dem agilen Handling eines Coupés vereinen. So wie es aussieht, ist der Plan gelungen!Darum geht es diesmal!Wer Spaß an einem technisch ausgereiften SUV hat, das zudem ein sehr angenehmes Erscheinungsbild hat, der kommt am Audi Q3 eigentlich nicht vorbei. Da es den allerdings in mehreren Varianten gibt, sowohl was die Motorisierung, als auch die Karosserieform angeht, beginnt nun die Qual der Wahl. Wir haben uns für den Audi Q3 Sportback S line 40 TDI quattro S tronic entschieden. Das Outfit!Dem Audi-Kenner fällt sofort auf, dass der Ingolstädter Hersteller seinem Kompakt-SUV Q3 eine Coupé Form spendiert hat und den Wagen in dieser Form Q3 Sportback nennt. Im Unterschied zum konventionellen Q3 geht die niedrige Dachlinie in flach geneigte D-Säulen über und endet in einem Dachkantenspoiler. So erscheint der Audi Q3 Sportback deutlich länger als sein Schwestermodell. Power und Drive!    Wie bereits angesprochen gibt es den Q3 in diversen Antriebs- und Karosseriekonfigurationen, wir werfen heute mal einen genaueren Blick auf den Sportback. Da haben Sie prinzipiell die Wahl zwischen Benzin-, Diesel und Hybridantrieb. Die Entscheidung fiel bei unserem Testkandidaten auf den 40 TDI quattro. Mit 147 kW/200 PS und der serienmäßigen 7-Gang S-tronic ist man jederzeit angenehm unterwegs. Tempo 100 erreicht der Wagen nach einem beherzten Tritt aufs Gaspedal in 7,3 Sekunden, seine maximale Geschwindigkeit liegt bei 224 km/h.  Der Kraftstoffverbrauch liegt kombiniert zwischen 5,2 und 5,5l/100 km, die CO2-Emissionen kombiniert bewegen sich zwischen 136 und 144 g/km. Die Kosten!Der Audi Q3 startet in seiner konventionellen Karosserieform mit 110 kW/150 PS und Schaltgetriebe bei 36.050,00 Euro, als Sportback bei 37.700,00 Euro. Wir hatten die Version Audi Q3 Sportback 40 TDI quattro mit 147 kW/200 PS und 7-Gang S-tronic in der S-Line-Ausführung zum Basispreis von 49.500,00 Euro im Test. Serienmäßig hat der S-line bereits angenehme Dinge wie eine 3-Zonen-Komfortklimaautomatik, MMI Navigation plus mit Infotainment High, ein Assistenzpaket mit einen adaptiven Geschwindigkeitsassistenten, Spurhalteassistent plus Emergency Assist und Stauassistent und Audi pre sense front für den adaptiven Geschwindigkeitsassistenten an Bord.

E 2020 começa a se despedir. No último podcast do ano, vamos falar sobre os principais acontecimentos e os destaques destes malucos meses que praticamente se separam em pré e durante a pandamia - já que ainda estamos relativamente longe disso tudo acabar.Você pode não lembrar, mas tivemos os lançamentos da nova geração do Audi Q3, novo Renault Duster, VW Polo e Virtus GTS e até mesmo o tão esperado Kia Rio no começo de 2020. Um ano que prometia ser bastante agitado logo se viu em pause, com diversos lançamentos adiados ou, pelo menos, acontecendo de forma virtual, como o Chevrolet Tracker, Fiat Strada e VW Nivus. 

We recently rented a BMW M440i xDrive, and this week we give our first impressions of how this sporty coupe performed on the highway and at our track. We also offer advice on whether you should skip test drives due to COVID-19, if an Audi Q3 or Volvo XC40 is better for a city-dweller, the performance of winter run-flat tires, why some cars in Canada and Europe never make it to the US, and why importing a foreign car might be prohibitively expensive.     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?

Two bite-sized German luxury SUVs face off in this episode of Talking Cars. While the Audi Q3 sticks to many of the brand qualities you'd expect, the Mercedes falls short in refinement. We talk about the market situations that created these cars, and how crowded the SUV market gets around this pricepoint. Next, the super-popular Honda CR-V gets an update for 2015, including a CVT and an infuriating radio. Moving on to a Canadian-themed bunch of questions, we help a viewer pick a comfy sedan. Finally, we wrap up by comparing the Volkswagen Golf and the Mazda3.

We cover all the news from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show floor! Ford launches their new F-150, very big news indeed. Chrysler finally gets in the midsized sedan game with the new 200. Super-small luxury SUVs take over, including the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA. Chevrolet gives the Corvette what it really needed (ha ha) - the more powerful Z06. And Honda rolls out a new Fit.
