Audi Q3 40 TFSI Sportback Quattro driven for 2024

Audi Q3 40 TFSI Sportback Quattro – Sometimes I jump in a car, and it instantly feels comfortable. This happened last week with the Audi Q3 Sportback 40 TFSI quattro S Line. That’s a mouthful.

I am a big fan of the Sportback SUV styling with their almost coupe like lines and the Q3 gets it just about right.

Powered by a 2.0L TFSI petrol engine that provides some 132kW of power and 320Nm of torque. This drives through the brilliant quattro drivetrain and a 7 Speed S Tronic transmission.

The interesting thing is that maximum torque comes in around 1400 rpm, so the TFSI engines bring the best of low torque and economy as well as enough acceleration to keep drivers happy.

The Audi Q3 is so smooth and easy to drive. Ride, handing and steering response are engaging. It’s fun to drive.

As you would expect the Q3 came with a heap of features such as:

• wireless apple CarPlay and charging tray,
• 3-inch Audi virtual cockpit,
• heated electric adjustable front seats with additional lumbar support and
• S line styling.
• It also came with the premium plus option pack that adds a very clever LED headlight system amongst other additions.

Overall, the Q3 Sportback 40 TFSI is absolutely worth the drive if you are after a premium small to mid-sized SUV with distinctive styling. It’s priced from a little under $76,000 plus the usual costs.
