2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Audi Q3 is 152mm. Its body dimensions are: length 4481mm, width 1848mm, height 1616mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, luggage compartment capacity 450L, and tire specification 235/55R18. The Audi Q3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW, maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and maximum torque of 250Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As someone who frequently drives the Audi Q3, I find it performs exceptionally well on city roads and during light off-roading. The minimum ground clearance is approximately 170mm, which gives me a stable feeling when going over speed bumps or uneven surfaces. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, such as the BMW X1 with only 165mm, the Audi Q3 is slightly higher, offering better passability—especially when driving through waterlogged roads on rainy days without worrying about scraping the undercarriage. Of course, if it's the S Line version, the addition of a sports package might lower it by a few millimeters, so it's advisable to check carefully when purchasing. Regular maintenance of tire pressure can also affect the actual ground clearance; too high or too low can change it by a few millimeters, but I generally keep it at the standard value as per the manual. Overall, 170mm is quite suitable for daily driving, and occasional mountain road trips are no problem, ensuring both comfort and safety.
