AUDI SA has launched its first compact crossover, the compact Q3 Sportback SUV coupe, combining convenience, elegance, and agile handling.

It cements its position in the A-CUV segment of the premium passenger car market as sporty, practical, and elegant, aimed at motorists who enjoy a sporty character as much as design.

The black grille of the octagonal singleframe is strongly three-dimensional in design, making it really sporty, along with the trapezoidal air inlets and bumper with its flat blade.

This Sportback offers driving fun in the city, on long-haul road trips, or on easy off-road terrain. It features progressive steering as standard, and the gear ratio becomes increasingly direct as the steering angle increases, along with the sport suspension, also standard, coming into play.

The driver can change the car’s features via the standard dynamic handling system, Audi drive select in six profiles, from comfortable through to sporty and off-road mode.

Two petrol engines are available in Mzansi.
