The Q3 Sportback comes with a coupe-like roofline and different alloy wheels.

Inside, the upcoming Q3 gets a sleek new dashboard with a touchscreen infotainment system in the centre and a digital instrument cluster. The SUV also gets a slew of safety aids including blind-spot monitoring, a rear cross-traffic alert system, a 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise control.

In India, the Q3 and Q3 Sportback is likely to be offered with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 188 BHP paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and the Quattro all-wheel drive system.
