Audi RS Q3 (8U)

Subcompact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Audi RS Q3 (Typ 8U) is the high-performance variant of the Q3 subcompact crossover in production from 2013 to 2018. It was available with three tunes of a turbocharged inline-5 engine that displaced 2.5 liters. DCT and AWD come as standard.

Evidently, the RS Q3 is meant to stay on well-maintained, paved road. It has a decent towing capacity, though Audi expects that buyers of this vehicle enjoy driving but likes the "jacked-up hatchback" look.

The interesting point is the inline-5 (I5) engine, which has a unique exhaust characteristic and good power response that many owners love.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Audi RS Q3 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
