Design
The new Audi Q3 is not a vehicle that can be termed drab. But the Q3 Sportback takes the same formula and adds a bit of snazz to the already good-looking SUV. The front end is indistinguishable apart from the mesh design for the grille, but things start to differ as you start moving toward the rear.
The 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels look sharp and the sloping roofline are the only revisions in profile. The coupe-ish roofline blends into the elongated rear end, which makes up the styling changes on the Q3 Sportback.

It is offered in a total of five colours: Glacier White, Chronos Grey, Mythos Black, Navarra Blue, and Turbo Blue. The Turbo Blue hue is exclusive to the Q3 Sportback.
Interior and features
The differences between the Q3 Sportback and the standard Q3 are limited to their exterior styling. The cabin layout is identical and so is the list of features offered. Some of the creature comforts worth highlighting include 30-colour ambient lighting, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment, two-zone climate control, wireless phone charging and a panoramic sunroof. You can find more details about its safety kit and features here.
Powertrain
No revisions here as well. The same 2-litre, 190PS and 320Nm, TFSI turbo-petrol engine found in the standard Q3, powers the Q3 Sportback as well. Power is transferred to all four wheels via a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission, which slingshots the SUV from nought to 100kmph in 7.3 seconds. You also get paddle shifters behind the steering wheel for when you want to take matters into your own hands.
The Q3 Sportback is currently being offered with a complimentary five-year road-side assistance, while there’s also a 2+3 years extended warranty on offer, but only for a limited period.
