Prepare to have your expectations exceeded when it comes to the Audi Q3 with standard Quattro all-wheel drive as a performance base here at Audi Charlotte in Matthews, NC. Exploring road specs on the S-line 45 TFSI premium uncovers a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pushes out 228 horsepower and 258-lbs. of torque combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Although there's much power under the hood, the overall design contributes to a quiet cabin and a comfortable, quality ride. Automatic traction control is underpinned by the standard all-wheel-drive which sends power to the tires with the most grip. This works great with most road conditions, but especially during winter weather or on those coveted detours well above sea level.
Each of the five varying driving modes has its own set of options controlling both steering and throttle response. Otherwise known as Audi Drive Select, it accommodates different driving styles.
