Small luxury crossover
The 2017 Audi Q3 is the perfect city car for small families and pet parents. The crossover seats five in a package that’s small enough for city living, but big enough to fit children, pets, and gear for your hobbies. The 2017 Audi Q3 comes standard with a 200-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pairs with standard front-wheel or available all-wheel drive. Comfortable, upmarket touches are woven throughout, including standard leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
