Also for the first time in the compact segment at Audi, it is possible to order acoustic glazing for the front side windows, which makes for better interior acoustics, particularly at high speeds. The 488-liter trunk volume (17.2 cu ft) also demonstrates the practicality of the Audi Q3. With the seat bench folded down, the storage space for the Audi Q3 increases to up to 1,386 liters (48.9 cu ft). The seat bench can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted as standard. The SUV has a towing capacity of up to 2,100 kilograms (approx. 4,630 lb). The entry-level model in the Audi Q3 family is the Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 110 kW, a four-cylinder gasoline engine with mild-hybrid technology. The Audi Q3 SUV TDI 110 kWis particularly suitable for driving long distances. The Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid 200 kW can charge up to 50 kW with DC power under ideal conditions and is more powerful and efficient than ever before. A high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 25.7 kWh (net 19.7 kWh) was installed for that purpose. This battery enables an electric range of up to 119 kilometers (preliminary figures) in the WLTP test cycle. The further developed standard suspension delivers an improved driving experience.

Audi opens second charging hub in Tokyo and continues to expand its global fast-charging network Cutting-edge charging infrastructure meets premium service: lounge, hypercharger, and innovative swivel arm ensure sophisticated charging experience Worldwide success: more than 2,500 charging sessions in Tokyo in a year confirm success of Audi charging hub concept Audi opened its second charging hub in Tokyo, the world’s largest metropolitan region, on April 24, 2025. The company is thus further expanding its fast-charging network and launching its eighth charging hub worldwide. A location that connects: nature, culture, and urban life The Audi charging hub (ACH) is located in the Shibakōen neighborhood, surrounded by numerous sights such as the Tokyo Tower, the historic Zojoji Temple, and Shiba Park, which was established in 1873. The area combines nature with architecture – green retreats meet modern office and high-rise buildings. Convenient, comfortable charging experience The two-story facility is modeled after the first Audi charging hub in Nuremberg. A battery-powered charging station – the hypercharger from PowerX – is installed on the ground level. With a maximum charging capacity of 150 kilowatts (kW), it can charge two electric vehicles at the same time. The patented Audi swivel arm installed in Shibakōen is attached to the top of the hypercharger. Handling is easy thanks to the cable routing. It enables effortless access to the vehicle’s charging port and keeps the charging cable off the floor. The technology is already known and used successfully at Audi sites in Europe. As with all previous Audi charging hubs, the new Shibakōen hub in Tokyo is designed to be brand-independent and can be used for all electric vehicles. Upstairs, the facility houses a 50-square-meter lounge. As soon as a charging process begins, an access code is sent to the customer’s smartphone, enabling access to the lounge.

MMI navigation plus in the RS Q3** and the RS Q3 Sportback** offers the same functions as in the large Audi models. For example, it recognizes the driver’s preferences based on previous journeys, allowing it to generate suitable route suggestions. It also draws on the system’s statistical empirical values of driving times and traffic loads. The route is calculated online on the servers of the map and navigation provider HERE, using real-time data for the traffic situation. If the data connection is lost, MMI navigation plus switches to the on-board routing, which runs in parallel. There are four free updates for the map every year; if desired, they can be uploaded to the car over the air. Everything is connected: Audi connect and Car-to-X MMI navigation plus is also joined by the Audi connect services onboard the new RS Q3** and the new RS Q3 Sportback**. They are the perfect addition to the navigation system. Data transfer is based on the LTE Advanced standard in almost all European countries via a SIM card permanently installed in car, the Audi connect SIM. These services include traffic information online, the point-of-interest search as well as information on parking spaces and filling stations, which appear directly on the navigation map – as necessary, also with dynamic additional information such as prices and availability. Further connect services are online media streaming, online news and Twitter and e-mail inbox access. A Wi-Fi hotspot for the passengers’ mobile devices completes the Audi connect portfolio. It also supports the 5 GHz band and allows download rates up to 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s. As an option, the customer can add on data packages conveniently from the car.

The compact powerhouses are thus the sporty top-of-the-line models within the Audi Q3 family. The five-cylinder engine is a modern classic. The 2.5 TFSI with 294 kW (400 PS) now draws just over 17 percent more power from 2,480 cc of displacement than before. The engine’s maximum torque of 480 Nm (354.0 lb-ft) is available over the very broad rev range between 1,950 and 5,850 revolutions per minute. The RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 4.5 seconds. The top speed is regulated at 250 km/h (155.3 mph) or an optional 280 km/h (174.0 mph).

Its crankcase is made of aluminum, which alone saves 18 kg (39.7 lb). Elaborate measures reduce internal friction while at the same time increasing power output. The cylinder barrels are plasma-coated; the crankshaft main bearings are six millimeters (0.2 in) smaller in diameter. The crankshaft is hollow bored and is therefore 1 kg (2.2 lb) lighter, while the aluminum pistons have integrated channels for oil cooling. In the short warm-up phase after a cold start, the switchable water pump does not circulate the coolant in the cylinder head – the 2.5 TFSI engine thus reaches its operating temperature more quickly. This lowers the coefficient of friction and reduces fuel consumption. A start/stop system and a recuperation system also contribute to the level of efficiency.

The Audi A7 Sportback impresses with even more dynamic driving on the one hand and increased comfort on the other. Thanks to numerous chassis innovations, the Gran Turismo from Audi offers a new range between comfort and dynamics. The mild-hybrid technology, which is also new, makes the drive system even more efficient and at the same time more comfortable. Furthermore, the A7 will be hitting the road with updated engines. Chassis New chassis components enable the four-door Gran Turismo to perfect its synthesis of sportiness and long-distance comfort. The new Audi A7 Sportback handles more agilely and spontaneously yet is also safer and more comfortable. This has been achieved using innovative technologies such as dynamic all-wheel steering, damper control and controlled power distribution by the quattro sport differential. The central control of these system via the electronic chassis platform (ECP) make this synthesis of sportiness and comfort possible. With the standard progressive steering and the optional dynamic all-wheel steering and sport differential, the A7 achieves the handling characteristics of a compact sports car. The dynamic all-wheel steering combines the dynamic steering at the front axle, which works with strain wave gearing, with a separate rear axle steering system with a spindle drive. This makes it possible to independently adjust the steering angles at the front and rear axles. The dynamic all-wheel steering ends the conflict of aims between agile response and stability. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the rear wheels are turned as much as five degrees in the opposite direction. This reduces the turning circle by up to 1.1 meters (3.6 ft), and the car becomes more agile in city traffic, when maneuvering and in tight switchbacks. At 60 km/h (37.3 mph) and above the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels.

Customer teams in New Zealand win endurance classifications Audi private teams provide variety in Italian touring car racing Debut for “Dakar Chronicles” in Paris The International Motorsport customer team celebrated a strong winning streak in New Zealand with a well-deserved title win for its Audi R8 LMS. The brand’s customers also remain the benchmark in touring car racing, as the halfway point of the TCR Italy season proves. A film premiere with the Audi RS Q e-tron drew a lot of applause in the city center of Paris. Audi R8 LMS GT3 First title successes of the season in New Zealand: The North Island Endurance Series completed the last two of its three championship rounds in the space of just one calendar week. After 2016, 2017 and 2023, the title in the 3-hour category was decided in favor of an Audi customer team for the fourth time. Sam Fillmore and Jonny Reid won both races with Team International Motorsport (IMS) in the Audi R8 LMS, having already prevailed in the season opener. This is Fillmore’s second title after 2023 and Reid’s third after 2016 and 2023. The second event at Hampton Downs turned out to be a thrilling comeback race. After a spin and a safety car period, Fillmore was one lap down. One of the strategic moves that made the success possible was a pit stop during which the team only changed the tires on the left side of the car, which were subject to higher loads. After three hours of racing, Sam Fillmore/Jonny Reid achieved a narrow victory with a lead of 0.851 seconds. Second place went to another Audi team: Steve Brooks/Ryan Wood were the best pursuers in the Audi R8 LMS from Wolfbrook Motorsport. Wood continued to close the gap, but was unable to overtake the leading Audi. The final race, again held at Hampton Downs, took place a week later. At 21.1 seconds, Fillmore/Reid’s lead was bigger than ever before this season. The two New Zealanders then celebrated their title win with a 23-point lead.
