Like its predecessor, the third generation of Ingolstadt SUVs will be available either as classic four -wheel drive vehicles or SUVs with Sportback subsequent. Both body patterns will also be available as a mixture consisting of additions from launch, using the latest generation of drive from the VW group.
This means that, as in VW Passat and Tiguan models, the 1.5 -liter gasoline engine offers 130 kW. The electric motor of 85 kW brings the system to be up to 200 kW and 400 nm of torque. Audi only offers a 200 kW version of the drive, while a 150 kW variable is also available for other models.
The drive is supported by a large improved battery. The high -voltage battery contains a total energy content of 25.7 kW per hour or 19.7 kW an hour. This means that the energy content may almost double compared to its predecessor, but the dimensions of the battery should be “almost identical”, according to Audi. This is possible thanks to improved chemistry and better package.
The modern battery also increases the electrical range of the hybrid additional component: in Q3 E-Hybrid, it can reach 119 km according to WLTP, while Audi determines 118 km in Q2 Sportback e-Hybrid. Another feature of the new battery is that it can be charged not only with alternating current (11 kW), but also with up to 50 kW. This means that the battery that is drained to ten percent to 80 percent can be recharged in less than half an hour, according to Audi.
The price of the Audi Q3 Suv E-Hybrid 200 KW starts from 49300 euros. Q3 Sportback E-Hebrid 200 KW 51,150 euros costs. The first units are to be delivered to customers in October 2025. “With the third generation of Audi Q3, we renew an important model family as part of our products initiative and enhance our group through strong combustion engines and effective engines.” “The new model combines efficiency, driving and comfort dynamics.”
