Under the hood of the 2016 Audi Q3 is a single engine: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. The torque curve is especially well distributed, which means you’ll be feeling the engine kick with all its might across nearly the entire RPM band. Front-wheel-drive is standard, but Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system is optional. In all cases, a six-speed S tronic automatic is the only transmission of choice.
