Comparison Driving, Exterior & Interior Design

Audi introduces a new compact SUV in coupé - the Audi Q3 Sportback. The new model combines the strong presence and versatile everyday convenience of an SUV with the sporty elegance and agile handling of a coupé. This makes it the first compact crossover of the Audi brand.

The X4 assumes the role of eye-catching athlete in the BMW X model family. In the centre of the striking front end stands a large BMW kidney grille in three-dimensional look.

The low roofline of the Q3 gives way to flat D-pillars and ends in a roof edge spoiler. The reversing lights run inwards in a tapered shape, just like the flat headlights. Audi supplies the latter in three versions up to Matrix LED technology, whose adaptive high beam intelligently illuminates the road as best suits the driving situation. Many light and shadow effects arise on the plastic-formed rear. The low window, flanked by aero trims, and the sporty bumper, which takes up the look of the air inlets, emphasize the width of the Audi Q3 Sportback.

The X4's Twin headlight units with dynamic contours and horizontal foglamps integrated into the outer air intakes form a new interpretation of the familiar six-eyed face espoused by BMW X models. All of the light functions feature LED technology as standard. The precise shoulderline - which takes in the door openers en route to the rear lights - and the character line between the wheel arches break up the surfaces of the car's flanks. The coupe-style roofline slides into the rear window with an elegant flourish before dipping down more steeply to the rear. Clearly structured surfaces and horizontal lines shape the car's tail.

The driver-focused layout of the cockpit helps to create a supremely assured and wonderfully sporty driving experience at all times. Redesigned sports seats with boldly contoured side bolsters provide outstanding lateral support even in extreme handling situations.
