Rumour: Audi to launch the 2nd-gen A3 and Q3 in 2022

The Q3 will be positioned above the Q2 and will compete with cars like the BMW X1. The A3 will take on cars like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine.

Reports suggest that Audi could launch the second generation A3 as well as the Q3 in India in 2022.

Both cars are based on Volkswagen's MQB platform. The Q3 will be positioned above the Q2 and will compete with cars like the BMW X1. The A3 will take on cars like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine.

Internationally, the A3 is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 148 BHP and 250 Nm. The Q3 comes with three petrol engines. All are 4-cylinder turbocharged engines featuring direct injection and power outputs range from 148 BHP to 227 BHP. Both cars are expected to come with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Audi is unlikely to offer diesel engines with the cars in India.
