SINGAPORE: Audi Sport presents the new edition of the RS Q3 and with the RS Q3 Sportback extends the product range to include an all-new model.

The two sport compacts offer outstanding performance, athletic design and maximum everyday usability. They will be available in dealers in Germany and other European countries by the end of 2019.

“The first Audi RS Q3 established its own segment. We aim to continue this success story with the new generation of the compact high-performance SUV,” says Oliver Hoffmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH.

“With the offering of the all-new Audi RS Q3 Sportback, a progressive SUV coupe crossover, we are the trendsetter and are leveraging to the full the phenomenal growth potential for Audi Sport.”

With its downward sloping coupe-like roof line, the RS Q3 Sportback is with a height of 1,557mm, 45mm lower than the RS Q3.

The rising shoulder line on the Sportback is set farther down than on the sister model, lowering the body’s optical center of gravity. As such, the body appears even more muscular and the wheels larger.

Both Audi Sport high-performance sports cars underscore their performance aspiration with pronounced muscles over the wheel arches, which have been flared by 10mm.

Within the Audi Q3 family, the RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback are the sporty flagships. The performance figures for the compact engines are compelling: five-cylinder, 294kW power output, 480Nm of torque, quattro all-wheel drive .

The new RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback are designed as fully fledged five-seater models and also offer maximum everyday usability for all their sportiness. The rear seats can be moved fore-aft as standard by 150mm in the RS Q3 or 130 millimeters in the RS Q3 Sportback; their three-way split backrests can be tilted in seven stages.

The luggage compartment holds 530 liters, with the backrests folded down the figure rises to 1,525 liters (Sportback: 1,400 liters).
