With the available Individual Contour Seating package, driver and front-seat passengers can enjoy heated and ventilated 18-way power-adjusted seats with Valcona leather. The armrests and center console are also covered in leather, while natural wood inlays add a layer of warmth.

The Audi A7 distributes torque between the front and rear axles according to road conditions and driving style.

The system includes torque vectoring to help improve cornering performance by applying braking pulses to the inside wheels during a turn and sending torque to the outside wheels. It also adjusts shock absorber pressure to help provide a smooth ride and enhance dynamic response in the turns. Under certain conditions, a rear-mounted steering system can turn the rear wheels to help improve maneuverability and stability.

The Audi A7 has a 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine that develops 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. Accelerates from 0–60 mph in 5.2 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph.

In 2021, the Sportback Audi RS 3 arrives on the market. The Audi RS 3 is in the final stages of development, and fans can be assured that engineers will do a great job when it comes to the third generation of this model, Audi Sport marketing chief Frank Michl told Auto Express.

“The RS 3 is one of Audi Sport’s most evocative models, and it’s also a big part of our brand’s DNA. You can be sure that any future RS model will always highlight good aspects and features,” said Frank Michl.

He did not want to reveal details, but said that we will wait a few more months for the first models. The mentioned magazine revealed that the future rival of the Mercedes-AMG A45 model will be presented in September.

The Audi RS 3 has a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine that is also used in the latest Audi RS Q3. The engine will deliver about 415 hp and 500 Nm of torque. It will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph.

The engine will be paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system. The chassis and drivetrain will be supported by technological performance, such as adjustable dampers, a torque vectoring system and an adaptive electronic power steering setup.

Audi has introduced its first plug-in hybrid compact SUV in the form of the new Q3 45 TFSI e and Q3 Sportback 45 TFSI e. Electrified SUVs will be available from spring 2021.

Both models will be powered by a combination of a 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol four-cylinder with an 85kW/330Nm electric motor that combine delivers 245 hp with 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Q3 accelerates from 0-62 mph in 7.3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. The Q3 has a 6-speed automatic transmission. NEDC estimates the combined fuel consumption for both models at 1.4 to 1.7 liters (138 to 168 US mpg) per 100 kilometers. With only electric drive, the compact SUV can cover 50 km.

In “Auto-Hybrid” mode, the main operating mode, the electric motor supports the four-cylinder engine in many situations, when accelerating and passing. Drivers can prioritize electric drive with the EV button. Drive control system by estimating a number of data points, such as route information from the navigation system and the data about the near surroundings from the vehicle sensors. This allows it to identify when the car is approaching a town sign, a speed limit or getting too close to the vehicle ahead.

Switching the Q3 45 TFSI e hybrids to ‘Dynamic’ mode, flicking the dual-clutch gearbox into S and flooring the accelerator enables a 10-second ‘overboost’ mode, unlocking the electric motor’s full 330Nm torque output.

Additional Battery Hold and Battery Charge modes are used to store or charge the battery, while Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Individual modes allow the driver to adjust the response of engine and transmission.

Available active safety technologies include adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, lane-departure warning and autonomous emergency braking.

There will be four equipment packages on offer, including Technik, S line, Black Edition and Vorsprung. The coupe-inspired Q3 Sportback is available with all packages except the Technik.
