In conjunction with the launch of their digital showroom, Audi Malaysia have introduced a new model to their local lineup – the Q3 Sportback. This particular model is an alternative bodystyle to the existing Q3. Unlike the regular Q3 though, the Q3 Sportback is available with a 2.0 TFSI engine and quattro all-wheel drive.
The Q3 Sportback features a sloping roofline for a more ‘coupé’-like silhouette. The more stylish look is complemented by a set of 19″ Audi Sport alloys in 5-twin arm design. These wheels are finished in matt titanium for a more sporty appearance.
The Audi Q3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI also comes with full LED headlights and taillights with dynamic turn indicators. They’ve also given it a black appearance pack, which makes the car look a little more menacing and athletic, especially with a brighter, contrasting colour.
The Q3 Sportback comes with Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, a fully-digital instrument cluster. It also has seamless smartphone integration with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
It’s fully imported and goes up against other premium European crossovers such as the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1 & X2, Lexus UX, Volvo XC40, MINI Countryman, Jaguar E-Pace and DS 7 Crossback.
As mentioned above, the Q3 Sportback is available via the newly launched digital showroom.
Here’s the press release with more.
