2012 Audi Q3 Spy Shots; Official Debut Set For Next Month In Shanghai

The 2012 Audi Q3 has been spied, wearing heavy camouflage that hides most of the styling details, except for the steeply raked hatchback which is borrowed from the 2007 Audi Cross Coupe Concept. Scheduled for official debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, the all-new Q3 will be positioned below the Q5 and Q7 upon launch in September or October 2011.

Audi promises that the Volkswagen Tiguan-based Q3 will bring sportier dynamics, aided by the use of adaptive dampers, for clear differentiation between the two mechanical siblings. At launch, three engines—a 170 hp 2.0-litre TFSI engine, a 211 hp 2.0-litre TFSI engine and a 170 hp 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine—are expected, with more options to be introduced later. Six-speed manual and seven-speed twin-clutch transmissions will be offered, along with Quattro four-wheel-drive system.

But it's never easy for him to talk and write cars in this part of the world because what you lust after is often not what you drive home. When the euphoria of test-driving that branded, super-expensive sports car dies down, he just goes home in his less-than-glamorous ride.
