Q3 / RS Q3 [Official] 2015 Audi RS Q3 facelift

[JHF]

The range-topping Audi RS Q3 has received the new grille as well, but the big news is that its 2.5-liter five-cylinder TFSI engine now produces 340PS (335hp) and 450Nm (332lb-ft) of torque, up 30PS (29hp) and 30Nm (22lb-ft) compared to the previous version. This translates into an improved 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint of 4.8 seconds (down from 5.5 seconds). Audi also says the 7‑speed S tronic has also been refined for faster gear changes.

The rear looks so good, but one pipe still for RS Q3?

But fast it will be, if it has more power than the previous one etc

This was the detail which surprised me.

 

[Star&Car]

The new grille is handsome.love it and obviously they couldn't fix the weird one pipe thing.

The headlights meeting the aluminum frame of the front bumper. Audi, seriously?

While the outcome does look very very good, I am against in due to principle. It's exactly the same design cue as the 3er's front that polarized GCF a few years ago.

Absolutely HORRIBLE (inside too)

I wonder why they even made a second one, I think they sold like 6 of the first?

This is still the first though. An updated one but still the first generation none the less.

It's not that bad haha! It certainly isn't great looking but then none of the small suvs are.

They sold about 165...thousand

True, true.

And the back looks, apart from that single tailpipe, rather decent. But the rest is just a disaster imo.

Never been a fan of it myself. At least it has a great engine going for it.

I've read it lost 75 kg of weight. Is this true?

165 thousand RS models. Impressive

Yea that's what the press release says but I highly doubt that. How would they have done that if the hardware is pretty much the same.

Pretty cheaply engineered facelift. That edge on the bonnet looks so stupid. Only pro is the RS's engine.

75kg is the difference between DIN and EU1 weight, so it's likely to be that. Journalists etc mixing up the two weights.

Worse looking Audi of the last 20 years. Terrible!
