Exactly a year later after the announcement of the second-generation Audi Q3 represented another variant, the Q3 Sportbackgoes as another "coupe-crossover". Although this hatch with a lowered three inches and slightly more sloping than the source roof. The name speaks not only of a modest volume improvements, but also reminds that the index Q4 reserved for promising electric vehicle, which should join the lineup of e-tron.

While the new Q3 did not get to Russia, you can compare the Sportback is that the platform Tihuanathat feels more spacious. And yet the car doesn't seem cramped, which is not surprising: with the change of generations Q3 grew significantly. The sloping roof is loyal to passengers of medium height. But people under 180 cm is sitting with almost no margin over his head. The sofa is divided into two unequal parts, which can be moved in the longitudinal direction. However, the travel range is reduced by two centimeters in comparison with Q3 to be pushed to lock the seat passengers not propped up the ceiling.

To move within 130 mm rear row option. The back angle means of seven discrete positions. Claimed boot capacity (530 l) is the same for both variants of the body, but with folded backrest of the sofa Sportback closer to 125 litres (1400).

First to market will be a two-liter Sportbike. The simplest diesel (150 BHP) is a front-wheel drive and "mechanics", other versions are equipped with seven-step "robot" S tronic and clutch to drive the rear wheels. Later added a gasoline engine 1.5 TSI with variable geometry of the working apparatus of the turbocharger and system of disabling two of the cylinders at partial loads. Tech motor will be part of the micro-hybrid system with a starter-generator under a separate 48-volt network with a lithium-ion battery.

The European version will get a petrol turbo 2.0 TFSI (ЕА888) 230 HP (left) and diesel 2.0 TDI (EA288 evo, center) in two versions forces: 150 HP and 190. Subsequently, it will join the gasoline "poltorashka" EA211 evo with a capacity of 150 forces (right).

In Russia Sportback will appear not earlier than 2020, but we already know that an alternative to the "robot" S tronic is not available. The range of powertrains will be different: the base will be a petrol turbo engine 1.4 TFSI (150 HP), which is based on the front-wheel drive.

About the success of the leader in the segment Lexus NX (7172 vehicles sold in 2018) Audi can do. On the old Audi Q3 during this time attracted only 1673 buyer. But with the countrymen you can compete. At a reasonable price to really catch up not only with GLA (2443 thing last year), but the BMW X1 (2742), acting with the support of more expensive, less practical but "x-second" (849). However, 2019 for Q3 obviously failed in the first half of the year implemented a total of 70 already discontinued "kushek", and a new generation will appear at dealers closer to October.
