Audi has released pricing on its long-anticipated compact crossover, the Q3, which will start at $33,425. The Q3 is Audi’s smallest crossover yet and, borrowing a page from the A3 sedan’s playbook, will feature a high level of standard equipment as well as a 200-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. The entry crossover will join the Q5 and the Q7 in Audi’s lineup. (An even smaller Q1 is due to join the group in 2016.)
The base model is the Q3 Premium Plus with front-wheel drive. From there, the models step up in increments of approximately $2000—the Premium Plus Quattro is priced at $35,525, the front-wheel-drive Prestige comes in at $37,325, and the full-boat Prestige Quattro arrives at $39,425.
All Q3 models seat five passengers and feature standard equipment such as 12-way heated power front seats, leather trim, a panoramic sunroof, a split-folding rear seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, xenon headlamps with LED taillamps and running lamps, and a smart key.
