2020 Audi Q3 in Wichita, KS - $23,452

The 2018 Audi Q3 is a premium compact SUV that pairs coupe-like looks with the utility of a SUV. Its quality engineering and advanced features offer ideal performance and functionality, but also advanced technology and driving dynamics. Offered in Premium and Premium Plus trim levels, the sporty character of the Q3 is defined by its low roof line and wraparound tailgate, along with distinctive exterior lighting including standard Xenon plus and LED daytime running headlamps and LED taillights.

Power for the Q3 is generated by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Torque is delivered to the pavement through a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel drive system is an available option. The optional Audi drive select system allows drivers to adjust handling and response at the touch of a button. There are three drive select modes: Comfort, Dynamic, and Auto.

The Q3’s balanced chassis combines agile handling, supreme safety and great road comfort. The control hardware’s front suspension is a sophisticated design featuring McPherson struts with forged aluminum lower wishbones. The rear suspension set-up includes a four-link rear axle with a separate spring/shock absorber arrangement to maximize interior cargo space.

Inside the passenger cabin is spacious and comfortable for all five passengers. Its elegant, ergonomic design boasts superior build quality. Evidence of the premium character of the Audi Q3 can be seen in every last detail in the interior craftsmanship, in the selection of the materials, in their processing and in the tight, consistent interior gaps.

Standard LED interior lighting – a technology that bathes the interior in dramatic light. Efficient white light-emitting diodes illuminate the doors, foot wells, vanity mirrors, storage compartments and the air vent thumb wheels. LED light guides even accentuate the cup holders. Standard dual-zone automatic climate control, available power tailgate and interior LED lighting round out the interior. The Audi advanced key provides keyless access as well as keyless start/stop functionality.

The available MMI® Navigation plus with voice control utilizes a 7.0 inch display and adds a color display to the driver information system located in the instrument cluster. The MMI Navigation Plus features the award-winning Audi connect® infotainment system (included in Prestige model), which includes in-vehicle Wi-Fi connectivity for up to eight wireless devices for passengers. Audi connect also provides Google Earth™ maps for a true aerial view of roads and the surrounding area. A 14-speaker, 465 watt Bose Surround Sound System is also part of the Prestige model offering to satisfy audiophile needs.

The cargo area also offers plenty of storage space – that rivals midsize and some large passenger cars. Folding down the 60/40 split folding rear seats greatly increases this capacity further.
