Audi RS Q3 I (8U) gallery (2013–2018)

Audi's first RS crossover: the compact RS Q3 with a five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI turbo.

The RS Q3 (8U) arrived in 2013 as the first high-performance crossover in the Audi Sport range. Its trademark inline-five 2.5 TFSI made up to 340 hp with a distinctive warble, driving all four wheels via quattro and a seven-speed S tronic.

Blending compact-crossover practicality with sports-car pace, the RS Q3 was a niche but cult favourite, founding a whole class of hot compact Audi SUVs.
