It is not surprising that over 50% of the Audi sold in Italy belong to the Q range, that is to the suv and sportback configurations.
And that within this very successful 'world' the Q3 family represents one in two registrations.
Look at the photos
The Q3 range is ideal for all types of travel and also for off-road
If the different Q3s, declined in the two body configurations (traditional suv and coupé) and also proposed with the RS look for the Audi Sport versions, are the 'best sellers' of the Quattro Rings, it is certainly due to a mix of values that they range from compactness combined with internal spaciousness, from muscular design to the breadth of the technological and engine portfolio, from the availability of high-tech solutions reserved for higher segment models to the customization of dedicated financial formulas.
This is the case of Audi Value, a program characterized by investment certainty, transparency in operating costs and flexibility in terms of conditions including the possibility of choosing, at the end of the contract, whether to replace the car,
Audi Value is flanked by long-term rental, a formula chosen by one customer out of two in the Q3 range and today characterized by reference flexibility.
The fee, which can be customized, includes registration and putting on the road, roadside assistance in Italy / Europe 24 hours a day, limitation of fire and theft liability, recovery of stolen car with radio frequency device, RCA insurance and ordinary and extraordinary maintenance.
These advantages are now accompanied by unprecedented flexibility.
The customer, in fact, has the right, even after signing the contract - a novelty - to modify some decisive parameters according to the varying mobility needs.For example, it is possible to choose, for rental already in progress, between 45 different combinations of duration and mileage.
A Q3 Sportback in the central variant 2.0 (35) TDI S Tronic 150 Hp S Line edition, which is included in the Audi price list at 49,550 euros, provides for a fee, in the reference combination 36 months / 45,000 kilometers, of 519 euros per month, modifiable according to needs from 24 months / 20,000 km up to 48 months / 200,000 km.
The opportunity offered by the House of the Four Rings to put the entire Q3 range to the test on the roads of the Aosta Valley is truly unique, starting with the turbocharged TFSI with direct injection of petrol, proposed in the 1.5-liter 150 hp and 250 hp configurations. Nm of torque and 2.0 liters of 190 hp and 320 Nm or 245 hp and 370 Nm.
The latter engine is reserved for the Phev variant which allows up to 49 kilometers of autonomy in 100% electric mode and is approved with 'scooter' consumption: only 1.7 / 2.0 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions. contained in 38/46 g / km.
Very important, and always very valid - as demonstrated by the tests with departure and return in Champoluc - the Q3 range running on diesel, central to sales in our market.
Audi Q3 and Q3 Sportback use the ultra-modern 4-cylinder 2.0 TDI in configurations of 150 hp and 340 Nm of torque (360 Nm in combination with the 7-speed S Tronic) or 200 hp and 400 Nm.
Consumption remains the strong point, especially for those who use the car for long distances.
The Audi Q3 35 TDI entry version is in fact homologated for 5.0 / 5.5 liters per 100 km with CO2 emissions of 132/145 g / km, while the top variant Q3 Sportback 40 TDI Quattro S Tronic sets the homologation instruments at 6.3 / 6.7 liters per 100 km with 166/177 g / km of CO2.
For the most demanding customers, Audi completes the Q3 range with the two AAudi Sport versions, namely the RS Q3 and Audi RS Q3 Sportback, two racing cars that thanks to the iconic 5-cylinder 2.5 TFSI with 400 hp and 480 Nm of torque take off from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds and add (in the absence of limits) a self-limited speed of 250 km / h or, on request, 280 km / h.
But to enhance the sportiness of the Q3 Sportback without having to go to the Audi Sport world, the Identity black package is also available, reserved for the top versions of the S Line edition and Quattro edition.
