In 2009, BMW formed a new 4 door SUV coupe segment with the X6. Immediately to start the trend is the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and last year, Audi launched its new ship, the Q8 as a rival to those cars. However, whenever something comes from Germany, it is never cheap and that implements these carmakers to come up with a more affordable type of peeled version of their SUV coupe. We immediately get the GLC Coupe and X4. Not allowing them to have the entire market share, Audi is ready to launch its latest offering in this segment, the Q3 Sportback.

EXTERIOR

The Q3 Sportback has been heavily based on Q8 as expected and even then, it is clearly visible. Being an Audi, he remained true to his legacy and at first glance, the difference was not very clear. Some signature elements include thick black-matte hexagonal grille, wedge-shaped LED head lamps and super large air intakes.

Only from the side he shows an unusual attitude. Although it is based on Q8, the side profile does not directly mimic her sister and there are subtle design changes. For example, the roof does not go down sharply at the back like Q8 and illustrates a harmonious profile. The car is clearly smaller than the Q8 and coupe lines like lines, small doors and glass areas, all make it feel compact on the outside. To give it a raspy look, Audi has given it a high ground clearance.

On the back, the visual difference between that and Q8 is clearer. The Q3 Sportback does not show a red LED strip integrated into the rear lights unlike the Q8 and still uses the conventional Audi family's wedged taillights. The glass area is quite small and may block vision. Q3 Sportback also gets a glossy black bumper treatment for rough posture.

DEPTH

The interior of the Q3 Sportback has a luxurious atmosphere with materials used in the car. This car combines several metal materials, skin care and matte black with a smooth and everything looks elegant. Audi's favorite virtual cockpit system is also present in this car. The center console is clearly separate from the standard Q3 and can accommodate a multimedia screen that features features such as navigation, telephone connectivity, reverse parking camera, and settings to change the drive mode. We can also expect a 360 degree camera to make driving easier. The car might also come with a number of safety aids such as 6 airbags, Lane departure warnings and adaptive cruise control.

Seats tend to carry contrasting color themes that have a mixture of materials such as leather and Alcantara that are cleverly placed to enhance driving comfort. Even though it's too early for the word on the back seat, the visual shows good space in the back. However, the slanted profile of the car might reduce headroom. This is a loss that must be borne by every car that has a roof line like a coupe.

MACHINERY AND PERFORMANCE

Although it is unclear which engine options can be scheduled for the UAE, in the market where it was launched, there are various engines. The range starts with 1.5 liter gasoline and continues to run up to a 2.0 liter turbocharged unit. Audi recently came with the same displacement engine with 226 hp and we expect the motor to power the car when it is launched in the UAE. There may be a seven-speed dual clutch transmission that sends power to all 4 wheels.

DECISION

Even though all partners offer good deals, we believe Q3 is the right one. The X4 and GLC Coupe are not without compromise. The X4 is too compact and that means uncomfortable leg room in the back. The GLC Coupe on the other hand is very outdated and feels inside. High Q3 score in the main area. It offers a handsome-looking exterior, a smart interior with many functions and if it comes to the UAE with a choice of powerful engines.
