Vehicle overview
The Audi RS Q3 is a rapid little SUV that proves good things really do come in small packages. It’s the end result of Audi’s performance division transforming the regular Q3 into a fire-breathing SUV with a reasonably pint-sized footprint that makes it a breeze to drive around town. The RS Q3 comes powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine pushing out 294kW of power and 480Nm of torque which, combined with a snappy seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system, gives it some serious corner-carving abilities and a fun-loving nature for the SUV segment. Inside, the RS Q3’s cabin impresses with its mix of leather, alcantara and carbon fibre elements, while a 10.1-inch infotainment display and Audi’s virtual cockpit gauge cluster keeps things nice and modern up front. The rear of the RS Q3’s cabin is more than up to the family challenge, offering healthy legroom and a very practical 530L worth of boot space.
