Not a long time ago when Audi introduced its entry level compact crossover to the Indian audience in 2012, no one could have predicted it would be so well received by Indian luxury car buyers. Sharing platforms with cars from its parent company Volkswagen and Skoda i.e with Golf and Yeti respectively, the Q3 came across as an ideal urban crossover that a first luxury car for a lot of Indian buyers. With a recent cosmetic upgrade, the Q3 stands more firmly on Indian roads and aims to capture a large chunk of the pie in the entry level luxury market. What’s completely new is what Audi calls a 3D front grille with brushed aluminum inserts and a chrome outline that does look appealing. The all chrome Audi badging at the front is placed well between all black slats. The way the front grille merges onto the all new LED headlamp unit (inverted LED strips now and come as optional) creates a very connected effect. What add onto its sporty avatar are sharp lines on the front bumper along with a front lip spoiler. On the side is where the Q3 does look quite compact despite its deep shoulder line which runs all the way across on the sides highlighting its length. The presence of sleek roof rails does create the integrated effect but Audi could have opted for a raised set of rails to further increase the height of this crossover. Audi only offers 16 and 17 inch tyres on the crossover which are not really the best looking wheels that we have seen. Opting for a smart LED taillight setup which complements the daytime running LEDs at the front makes Q3 really attractive from the back especially in the night. To add to its SUV stance large reflector strips on the rear bumper along with black cladding that houses chrome tipped exhaust pipes completes its look.
