For 2017, the compact Audi Q3 combines coupe-like design with the utility of an SUV, offering an excellent balance of agility and functionality.

Lineup changes include: the Q3 Premium entry-level trim offering standard leather seating surfaces, 12-way power front seats with adjustable lumbar support, Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, power adjustable, heated side mirrors and parking system plus, which includes front and rear acoustic parking sensors and 130-degree rearview camera.

A newly available Sport Plus Package for the 2017 Q3 Prestige trim includes a 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles; 19-inch, 10-spoke design titanium matte finish wheels; Audi drive select; sport front seats and a Black Optic exterior package consisting of a black Singleframe grille, black roof rails and black window surrounds.

The 2017 Audi Q3 is offered with two drivetrains -- the 2.0-liter TFSI in front-wheel drive or the 2.0-liter TFSI quattro all-wheel drive. Audi's quattro all-wheel drive helps provide superior traction and handling on every road surface and in a variety of conditions. The Audi "Drive Select" allows drivers to adjust vehicle handling and response through three different drive select modes: Comfort, Dynamic and Auto.

The 2017 technology package includes Audi Connect that offers in-vehicle Wi-Fi for up to eight passenger devices and Google Earth Mapping, MMI Navigation plus, and Audi side assist, which uses radar to help assist the driver when changing lanes by providing visual warnings in the exterior side mirrors when a vehicle is approaching from the rear.

Offering an excellent balance of performance and functionality for the urban outdoors, the 2017 Q3 also features advanced driver assistance technologies.
