The 2021 Audi Q3 Is Built to Impress | Finance Yours In Erie, PA

The 2021 Audi Q3 is the brand's smallest SUV, although this mid-size SUV offers seating for five. The exterior features a beautifully designed large grille with the Audi logo at its center.

For those in love with performance, the Q3's turbocharged four-cylinder and standard all-wheel-drive will satisfy their needs.

What's New For 2021?

Audi has dropped the Prestige trim level. The features once available on this trim are now offered as available technology or convenience packages on the Premium and the Premium Plus trims. The Premium model gains a standard steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifter, lane departure warning, and power-adjustable front seats. Adaptive cruise control comes as standard on the Premium Plus model. Simultaneously, features such as a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, Bang & Olufsen audio system, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and navigation are available on this model.

The convenience package now features LED interior lighting, heated power-folding exterior mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an integrated compass. All 2021 Q3 models come standard with 19-inch wheels, S line-branded door-sill inlays. Available features include Parking Assistance that features a 360-degree exterior-view camera and adaptive parking technology.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

All 2021 Q3s available in Meadville are powered standard by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 228 horsepower and a total of 258 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that supplies power to the iconic Quattro all-wheel-drive. The eight-speed automatic transmission provides a smooth and quick shift to give the Q3 an acceleration time of 7.8 seconds to attain a 60 MPH speed from zero. The suspension soaks up most of the shock from a bumpy road providing a relaxed and comfortable ride. The steering is accurate and responsive to give the Q3 a much-needed sense of agility.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The 2021 Q3 comes with a spacious and beautifully designed interior. The driving position is perfect with controls and displays in a good place visible to the driver at any angle. Standard features in North East, PA include leather-trimmed upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, eight-way power-adjustable front seats, and driver's lumbar support.

The Luxury Package features interior ambient lighting and a digital gauge cluster. The front-row headroom measures at 39.6 inches and 37.6 inches for the second-row. The legroom measures 40.0 inches for the front and 36.6 for the second row.
