2021 Audi RS Q3 Auto quattro MY21.

The 2021 Audi RS Q3 brings genuine performance-car character to a compact SUV format. Its five-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine gives this grey example a distinctive mechanical identity, while the raised driving position and five-door body preserve the everyday usability expected of a practical family-sized vehicle. With 27,500 km displayed, it combines relatively modest use with the focused engineering associated with Audi’s RS range.

At the centre of the experience is Audi’s 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, paired with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. The drivetrain sends power through quattro four-wheel drive, providing traction across a broad range of road conditions and complementing the RS Q3’s sporting brief. Audi Drive Select allows the driving character to be adjusted, while adaptive RS suspension and an RS sport exhaust add further depth to the performance package. The published engine output is 294kW and 480Nm, with premium unleaded petrol specified as the fuel.

The RS Q3’s exterior design is deliberately assertive without sacrificing the packaging advantages of an SUV. RS body styling, Matrix LED headlights and 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels give it a purposeful road presence, while the power tailgate makes access to the cargo area more convenient. The vehicle offers 530 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1,400 litres when maximum load capacity is required. Five seats and five doors make the layout more versatile than a conventional performance coupe.

Inside, the cabin combines a driver-focused presentation with equipment intended to make regular journeys easier. Leather and Alcantara-appointed RS sports seats, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and ambient interior lighting contribute to a comfortable environment. The Virtual Cockpit Plus digital instrument cluster places vehicle information directly in the driver’s sightline, while MMI Navigation Plus, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide familiar options for navigation, media and smartphone integration. Wireless phone charging and keyless entry with push-button start add useful convenience.

There is also a strong emphasis on parking assistance and active safety. A 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera help improve visibility in tight spaces. Adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking provide additional support during everyday driving. High-beam assistance, electronic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring and six airbags further broaden the safety specification.
