New Audi Q3 Dynamic: Specs and features

They youngest member of the Audi Q family, the Q3 will now be available in a new Dynamic variant. It displays sporty characteristics, is propelled by an efficient powertrain and will now be available with “Audi Drive Select”, which lets one choose from three drifferent driving modes – Comfort, Dynamic and Auto. The ‘Drive Select’ technology allows you to adjust the type of driving you want to do whether it be Comfort, Dynamic or you can even let the car decide on its own. The suspension, steering, throttle response is then adjusted to provide the best driving experience you ask for, depending on the road conditions.

The Audi Q3 will also come with a long list of standard features and two engine options. The 30TDI will come with a 2.0L TDI engine that pumps out 140 PS of power, is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and transfers power to the front wheels.
