The German carmaker Audi has been ruling the SUV segment for decades. The company has produced multiple tech-loaded four-wheelers in the past few years, which has not only received an overwhelming response from the target audience but pushed the sales further. Recently, we got the opportunity to drive Audi’s one of the hot-selling products Q3, which came as a fresh piece of art last year with some noticeable updates.
The luxury performance-oriented car was introduced in the Indian market at the starting price of Rs. 42.77 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to Rs. 51.94 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top model. In this detailed article, we will try to pen down the top points, explaining if it is worth investing the hard-earned money in the latest generation of Q3 or not.
Performance
Starting with the performance, it is the area where most of the game has been won by the German car maker. A robust 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which generates a max output of 187.401bhp at 4200-6000 rpm and 320 Nm at 1500-4100 rpm, is what makes it stand out among the crowd. The powerful unit is undoubtedly leaving behind every competitor in the segment.
It has been claimed by the company that a car can do a 0-100 kmph sprint in 7.2 seconds. However, when tested it, the luxury SUV did not disappoint us at all. Created a respectful space for the brand. Not just powerful driving, it also lands you in some situation, where the general public might be asking ” Badiya Gadi Hai, Kitne Ki Hai?

Opinion
The Audi Q3 40 TFSI can be considered as a pure form of versatility. With the amount of comfort and luxury feels it provides, it is worth giving a shot if one is looking for something under the price range between Rs 42.77 Lakh to Rs. 51.94 lakh. The SUV can be used for long journeys, adventures, and light off-roading, and is capable of providing a smooth driving experience under pressure.
If we have to rate Audi out of 10, the four-wheeler deserves 8.5. The 1.5 has been deducted for the mileage as it drinks petrol like a camel.
