Q3 / RS Q3 Official: 2012 Audi Q3

[dalab]

This is the most boring car y' see in years, suuuuper boring.
It' s a shame design cars like this without any kind of emotion , only to people who are not passionate and just want a car.

The X1 is for people with blood in their veins, this Q3 has neither head nor tail, should be called Q MINUS 3.

On the other hand the interior - Q minus 3 is actually doing great for this type of car, very original, and even in the picture is seen a touch of high quality materials and finishing.
truly amazing.

This over X1 anyday...yes it does look balnd and all but definitely looks better than X1..on the other hand i like the new X3 much more than Q5..

 

[klier]

I see a blown up A1...

But it's not bad, and exactly what the Audi people want.

But this basicly is a quickly rebuilt VW SUV right? Tiguan I am sure. With Audi face. Color me bored already....

So is it a rebadged Tiguan or not???

Lol..You hating hard today.

 

[klier]

This is not the hating part,but the looking-at-pics part. The proportions are just so similar. It's like they made an A1 out of a Tiguan.

Although sharing underpinnings with the Tiguan has played part in Audi's ability to bring this car to market rather quickly, the car is not a rebadging job a'la General Motors. Exterior and interior-wise the cars couldn't have looked any different. All body panels are different.

Audi has done a remarkable job maintaining a premium look. The interior especially looks up-scale for an entry-level SUV, better than the X1 to be honest, though the exteriors of both cars are level.

Call it wat you want, but in reality it's a Tiguan. It's how things work at VAG.

Might look better in the flesh

Nope. It doesn't
Just as boring.

The interior looks premium and I believe the materials will be out of the top drawer, yet the layout does not look mature enough - whereas the X1's dash is a scaled down replica of the X5/X6's and thus looks more mature. The Q3's dash reminds me of the A1's.

Maybe then that the Q3 as with the A1 (looks like a blown up A1 anyway) is more directed at a much younger/youthful or maybe female buyer -'funky'- thus I would rather pitch the Q3 against the MINI Countryman. IMO the X1 slots in a notch higher between the Q3 and Q5.

LOl this whole time I thought I was looking at the facelift Q5 and I wondered why it looked smaller. But I do like the front of this car, more than the Q5. Also the interior is not too busy in this car, I have to say it's better than the X1s.

 

[Yperion]

Typical Audi design inside and out.

It's going to have an impact on the market no doubt.

Interior looks better than X1 no doubt (the quality that is), but that doesn't change the fact that this is another boring VW with Audi looks.
I mean, the pretty interior is the very least they could do if they want to make this car appear premium.

does julian hönig know what has happened to his gourges concept car ?

My boss has a Q5, and I have been in it numerous times, both in the front and back seat and the materials in that car are quite unimpressive and actually disappointing. They cut corners wherever they can. Hard plastics in a lot of places that feel thin and cheap too. My other boss has an A5, which is a def upgrade.

Heh! Your right just seen it in Orange being moved into the exhibition hall before being placed onto the Audi stand @ Shanghai.
The 2007 Cross-Coupe Concept Car looked better with the angled headlights and sloping coupe roof.
Looking at it and given it's positioning , very much looks like the A3 will share some design language here especially at the front and rear, maybe the interior too?

 

[EnI]

It looks like Quasimodo when compared to Q5 & Q7.

Every small SUV nowadays look like a joke next to the real SUVs. I use to drive my father´s W211 E-Class and it´s almost as high as the X1. A part from this, the X1 looks like a 1er Touring, and the Q3 like a A1 allroad.
