The new generation marks the resumption of vehicle production in São José dos Pinhais (PR). The assembly line in Paraná went through a one-year strategic interruption to modernize and adapt the facilities, a project that received a financial contribution of R$ 50 million from the German manufacturer.
With the renovation, the premium compact SUV adopted the brand’s current global design language, characterized by more fluid lines replacing the previous rectilinear creases. The front features headlights divided into two levels and the grille redesigned with the two-dimensional logo. While the conventional Q3 prioritizes space and the traditional silhouette of the category, the Sportback version adopts a pronounced roof trim, 42 millimeters lower. Both options share a wheelbase of 2.68 m and feature a sliding rear seat, allowing you to expand the trunk capacity from 488 to up to 575 liters.
Under the hood, the 2.0 TFSI engine received updated calibration to deliver 258 hp and 37,7 kgfm. The powertrain is associated with the seven-speed S-tronic automated dual-clutch transmission and the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. With this set, the models accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
Inside, the dashboard features integrated curved screens that combine the 11.9″ digital instrument panel with the 12.8″ multimedia center. The ergonomics were changed by migrating the gear selector to the steering column, freeing up space in the center console. The package of standard items includes acoustic glass, panoramic sunroof, headlights with customizable LED signatures and active assistance with adaptive cruise control.
