This small SUV doubles as a hot hatch

A compact SUV with a Sportback-style profile is positioned as a performance-focused alternative, described as “doubling as a hot hatch.” The article reviews the Audi Q3 Sportback TFSI quattro 195 kW, presented as the flagship of the third-generation lineup above the front-wheel-drive TFSI 110 kW and the AWD TFSI quattro 150 kW. In pricing terms, the test model starts at $84,400 before on-road costs, targeting higher trims of the German “Big Three” rivals including the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, plus premium alternatives such as the Lexus UX and Volvo XC40. The vehicle is equipped with 20-inch Audi Sport alloys, an S line exterior package, keyless entry and start, three-zone climate control, all-LED lighting, a panoramic glass sunroof, power tailgate, heated electric sports front seats, and leather-appointed trim. The review also cites a 12-speaker 420W Sonos audio system, a head-up display, adaptive cruise, a 360-degree camera view, and advanced lighting options. With additional paint and packages, total pricing reaches $97,725 including GST.
