2021 Audi Q3 pricing and specs detailed: Volvo XC40, Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, Lexus UX and Mini Countryman rival now costs more to buy

The Q3 has become more expensive range-wide.

Audi Australia has increased the pricing of the second-generation Q3 small SUV.

The wagon body-style’s entry-level 35 TFSI variant is now $650 dearer, at $47,600 plus on-road costs, while its mid-range 40 TFSI and 40 TFSI S Line versions have become $750 and $700 more expensive, at $55,200 and $60,650 respectively.

Similarly, the coupe-like Sportback body-style’s entry-level 35 TFSI S Line variant has risen by $650, to $51,100, while its mid-range 40 TFSI S Line version has jumped up $700, to $63,050.

Meanwhile, the range’s RS Q3 flagship has moved $1200 upmarket, with the wagon variant moving to $91,100, while the Sportback version has shifted to $94,100.

For reference, the 35 TFSI variants are motivated by a 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which pairs a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with front-wheel drive.

The 40 TFSI versions step up to a 132kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which matches a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system.

While the RS Q3 has the same transmission-drive combination, its engine is a performance-focused 294kW/480Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol five-cylinder unit.

Justin Hilliard
Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
