New Audi Q3 Sportback and Q5 Sportback Models Set to Arrive

In a move to expand its SUV range, Audi has announced the arrival of two new models: the Audi Q3 Sportback and the Audi Q5 Sportback. The new Q3 Sportback, set to be revealed on 16 June, will be available for sale starting from November 2023, with first deliveries expected in early 2026.

The Q3 Sportback, a new take on the Q3, is aimed at the lifestyle market and competition in the sector. It shares the same interior features as the new Q5 and offers the same choice of petrol, diesel, and PHEV powertrains as the SUV.

The entry-level powertrain for the Q3 Sportback is a 148bhp mild-hybrid, while the quattro petrol powertrain offers 201bhp or 261bhp. For those seeking a more powerful option, the range-topping FWD PHEV for the Q3 Sportback boasts 267bhp and promises an EV range of 72 miles. The price for the Q3 Sportline Sportback starts at £39,800 and goes up to £53,950 for the Sportline TFSI quattro 265PS Edition 1.

In a separate announcement, yesterday saw the unveiling of the new SQ7, another Audi SUV. The Q5 Sportback, however, remains a mystery regarding its available powertrains and their specific horsepower, as well as its EV range and release date.

The Q5 Sportback, featuring a coupe SUV design with sporty elements, is a different model from the Q3 Sportback. Its interior features are not specified in the provided paragraphs.
