Audi Q3 has both imported and domestically produced versions, and the Audi Q3 models seen in China are all domestically produced. The Audi Q3 is a compact SUV under the Audi brand, with dimensions of 4418 mm in length, 1848 mm in width, and 1584 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. More details are as follows: 1.

I've been keeping an eye on the SUV market recently, and the Audi Q3 is definitely domestically produced, manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen at their Changchun plant. This has been the case for several years now. The domestic version offers great value for money, with a significantly lower price than the imported model, and maintenance and repairs are much more convenient, as local 4S stores can handle all the parts. When driving to the suburbs, the domestic Q3 is better adapted to local road conditions, with optimized tires and chassis, resulting in fewer minor issues. If you're considering buying one, the localized production now offers more customization options for local features, such as voice control supporting Chinese dialects, making it even more user-friendly. Overall, the domestic Q3 has solid quality—a friend of mine bought one and has had no major issues over three years of use, making it more than sufficient for daily commuting.
