2 Answers
Audi Q3 four-wheel drive is available in the high-end and top-end versions. This car is equipped with three engines in total: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. High-end and top-end versions: The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 4500 to 6200 rpm and its maximum torque at 1500 to 4000 rpm. It features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. Low-power version: The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. This engine achieves its maximum power at 5000 rpm and its maximum torque at 1600 to 4000 rpm.
I must say, the all-wheel-drive version of the Audi Q3 is quite easy to identify—mainly those models with the quattro badge. From my experience driving several Audi cars, including the Q3, higher-end models like the 45 TFSI quattro and SQ3 series come standard with all-wheel drive. This system enhances traction on slippery roads, making the drive much more stable. The base 35 TFSI is typically front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is an optional upgrade. But if you're looking to save some money, you might consider the mid-range S line, which in some regions can be equipped with quattro. Remember, quattro is Audi's signature feature—whether buying a used or new model, always check the specifications. Additionally, all-wheel drive is incredibly practical for winter driving, significantly reducing the risk of skidding.
