Audi’s mini-SUV Q3 (rendered above) based on Audi A5 platform is taking shape at Audi’s research and development centre . The Audi Q3 slated for a 2011, will be manufactured at Martorell in Spain and will be positioned to take on the hugely successful BMW X1.

The concept version of the Q3 was shown at the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show from where the production model will borrow many design aspects.

Audi aims to be the numero uno luxury car manufacturer in the world by 2015 and in India plans to produce 6,000 cars per annum by that point of time. Assembly of the Q3 SUV at Aurangabad could help Audi reach that ambitious target.

The BMW X1 could be priced in the 23 to 28 lakh rupee range, and its rivals will then be the Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail and possibly the India-made Land Rover Freelander. The Audi Q3 should be priced well below 30 lakh rupees when it enters India in 2011.

The latest addition to Audi’ off-roader line-up, will look rugged, curvy, stylish, raw and smashing!

The Audi Q3 will be the third in the line of Q cars, the fourth Q1 will come in the middle of the next decade. The Audi Q3 will be the newly launched X1’s rival, it will be part of the all-new market segment that belong to budget SUVs.

The preliminary Q3 concept was displayed at the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show, the production car will take a big share of its design from the concept, but expect something more practical and die-friendly.

The chassis of the Q3 will come from VW’s Tiguan, which we are expecting in India in the near future. The Q3 will be a small off-road wonder, its 4WD system promises a great deal. The 2WD system will also be part of the line-up.

Rendering – Face of the Audi Q3

The Audi Q3 is set to be tagged as a budget SUV that should be priced at around 30 lakh rupees if it makes it to India in 2011-12. It will be priced to take on the likes of the Ford Kuga.

The Audi Q7 is already here and the Q5 will be announced on the 4th of next month, so we’re positive about Audi bringing the Q3 to India as well, and sources in Audi have also informed us about the same.

The Audi Q3 concept was shown at the Barcelona show that went by. It will be produced in Spain in 2011. We’ve even provided a rendering of Audi Q3 here before, if you did not know.

Globally, the trend followed has seen SUVs shrinking to fit parking spaces and equally the buyers’ budget. Ford’s last year’s introductions saw a small urban SUV called the Kuga and Toyota’s Urban Concept is one other example to this case.

German rival BMW plans to take on the competition with its X1, a car that closely resembles the X3, which will grow to accommodate the slightly smaller X1 in the BMW series.

Supplementing the line of smaller and cheaper SUVs will be Audi’s Q3. The Q3 was announced by the company last week and it will be produced in Spain as a smaller alternative to the Q5 and Q7. Rumors are floating of a possible Q1, but the company’s stand at present isn’t anything but the Q3, which will be built in VW Group’s plant in Martorell, Spain.

The Q3 will essentially replicate what its older siblings have successfully emulated. The platform adopted for this smaller SUV will be utilized to make a hatchback named A3. A long list of engines will include a 147kW 2.0L TFSI engine, a 171kW 3.0L turbodiesel V6 and a 210kW 3.6L FSI V6 in the diesel category.

For India, Q3 rolls in during 2011

The Audi Q3 will eventually make it to India in 2011. Expect it to arrive in both petrol and diesel forms. Pricing should be under 30 lakh rupees for the base petrol version, but that’s just our prediction.
