Audi's 2019 Q3 will enter its second generation as a larger compact SUV with more interior space and driver-assisting features, Audi announced as it unveiled the vehicle in Germany on July 25.
Audi has also updated the exterior design of the more-sportier Q3, which will arrive at European dealerships in November and reach U.S. dealerships in 2019.
The 2019 Q3 has grown in nearly all dimensions, including a 3-inch increase in its wheelbase and 4 inches in height. The SUV is also wider and shorter.
It will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 230 horsepower and is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission that delivers power to a front- or all-wheel drivetrain.
Driver-assist systems inclue adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The Q3 will offer 360-degree cameras and can park itself with the driver's help. It will also offer a blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
