Available as an all diesel avatar, the Q3 gets one of the most reliable and commonly used Audi engine that is capable enough to offer fun and an efficient drive as well with the crossover. Tuned to offer two power outputs, its four cylinder 2.0 litre TDi unit on the Q3 30 TDI S Edition variant is capable enough to produce 138 Hp at 4200 rpm along with a peak torque of 320 Nm between 1750-2500 rpm. This variant gets power transferred only on the front wheels (being a Front Wheel Drive) setup and also misses out on Audi’s patent automatic transmission. What you get instead is a 6 speed manual transmission which offers decent ride quality within the urban areas. The real performer is it’s another tuned 2.0 diesel unit that churns out an impressive 174 horses at 4200 rpm and an impressive 380 Nm of peak torque available at as low as 1750 rpm. This variant, i.e. Q3 35 TDI gets Audi’s patent, permanent all wheel drive, Quattro technology with differential lock as well that smartly control torque transferred to each wheel independently. You also get the option of choosing between different driving modes such as efficiency, comfort, dynamic as well as auto which accordingly beefs up the suspension or makes it soft depending on the driving mode selected. This peppy variant of the Q3 also gets a 7 speed dual clutch S tronic automatic gearbox which offers crisp gearshifts under any condition.
