Following the recent debut of the third-generation Q3<\/a>, Audi has introduced the new Q3 Sportback, expanding its coupe-SUV family alongside the Sportback versions of the Q4 E-Tron, Q5, Q6 E-tron, and Q8 E-tron.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; More: You Won’t See Audis And BMWs The Same After This Makeover That’s Splitting Opinions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n As expected, the Q3 Sportback<\/a> shares most of its body panels with the Q3, although the roofline and greenhouse have been redesigned, leading to a swooping rear glass. Furthermore, Audi designers have omitted the roof rails of the standard version for a sportier stance.<\/p>\n Sportier Shape<\/strong><\/p>\n The full-width taillights with optional digital OLED graphics and the sporty rear bumper with faux intakes and a large diffuser have been carried over from the regular Q3<\/a>. According to Ingolstadt, the coupe-SUV is 29 mm (1.1 inches) shorter compared to its more conservative twin. Overall, both models look sportier and more modern compared to their predecessors.<\/p>\n Inside, the dashboard is also shared with the Q3, including the curved panel housing the 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and the 12.8-inch infotainment, plus the redesigned stalks<\/a>. As for the rest of the cabin, the lower roofline towards the back has had a toll on the available space for passengers and luggage.<\/p>\n More specifically, the maximum cargo volume of the Q3 Sportback is 1,298 lt (45.5 cubic feet) with the rear seats folded, which is 97 lt (3.4 cubic feet) less compared to the “standard” Q3. Still, Audi<\/a> hasn’t shared the boot volume with all five seats in place, so we don’t know if it is smaller than the 488 lt (17.2 cubic feet) of its sibling.<\/p>\n
