Audi Q3
A coupe-style Q3 Sportback was introduced by Audi in 2019, but unfortunately there are no plans to sell it in Canada. As for the 400-horsepower RS Q3, the possibility of bringing it on this side of the Atlantic was being discussed when we wrote these lines. In the meantime, the redesigned, second-generation Q3 remains a dynamically styled subcompact luxury crossover with a spirited 2.0-litre turbo-four engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. AWD comes standard.
