Goodbye old guy, review of the new generation Audi Q3
The first-generation Audi Q3 based on the Volkswagen PQ35 platform was born in 2011 and was produced domestically by FAW-Volkswagen in 2013. Six years have passed. While the previous generation Q3 achieved good sales, it also ushered in its own replacement model - a new generation Q3 based on the MQB platform.
If I hadn’t been wearing my new titanium alloy glasses, I wouldn’t have known whether this was the Q3 or the big brother Q8. Although it is not as broad-minded and fat as the big brother Q8, the sequins are arranged in a dot matrix on the grille. The decoration shows that this young man does not lack refinement. The new generation Q3 gets rid of the round front face of the previous generation and adopts the latest family-style design language, which gives people a very murderous impression.
As for the headlights, they are produced by the "Light Factory" and must be high-quality. The full LED light source is not surprising, and the daytime running lights and turn signals are full of murderous features.
The multi-section side waistline is not found in the old Q3. Coupled with the steeply sloping C-pillar, the side of the car still has a sense of style, giving it a Porsche Macan feel.
The taillights cleverly echo the money headlights. They are also full LED light sources, but they are much better looking than the cute and cute styling of the old model.
The exaggerated rear surround shape of the S-Line package version, although the decorative significance is greater than the actual effect, young people will definitely be addicted to it after seeing it.
The interior of the old Q3 has looked a bit old since it was launched. It looks even older than the A4L of the same period, and it has always been at a disadvantage compared to competitors of the same level. However, things are changing, and whoever launches later has an advantage. Now sitting in the new generation Q3, you may sneer at the interiors of competing models.
The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument is the standard configuration of the new generation Q3. It has high resolution, clear logic, full of technology and no redundancy. There should be more instrument panels like this.
The standard large central control screen does not have many functions and does not require so many redundant functions. CarPlay and CarLife are enough. In addition, the air-conditioning control area uses physical control buttons, which I like and are very easy to use. Audi's button damping control has always been very good.
There are three power systems, 2.0T high and low power and 1.4T, which are matched with 7-speed dual-clutch gearboxes, with tail numbers of 45?TFSI, 40?TFSI and 35?TFSI respectively. Compared with the previous generation model, the torque of the 2.0T low-power model has not changed, the power has increased by 6 horsepower, and the tail mark has been upgraded from the original "35?TFSI" to "40?TFSI".
Summary:
I have always felt that the BMW X1 is the benchmark in this class. It is not as spacious as a BMW and has first-class practicality, but it seems too un-BMW when driving. . It wasn't until the new generation Q3 appeared that I discovered that after improving on the shortcomings of the previous generation, the Audi Q3 appeared in people's field of vision with stronger strength. It is still so easy to drive and comfortable. If you are interested in it, you might as well go to a local 4S store and have a look. The terminal price may be a big surprise.
