Upgraded 2025 Audi Q3 Specs

While this year's model hasn't been redesigned, the Audi Q3 engine lineup has been revised. Previously, the Audi Q3 offered you a choice of two powertrains – a 40 TFSI that produced 184 horsepower or a 45 TFSI that bumped it up to 228 horsepower. This year, the stronger 45 TFSI engine comes standard, and the weaker one is gone.

The model comes fitted with the automaker's signature eight-speed Tiptronic® transmission, and you get paddle shifters with your 45 TFSI engine so you can manually change gears and fully enjoy the Audi Q3 performance capabilities.

Some unverified online sources claim the Audi Q3 towing capacity is as high as 2,200 pounds when properly equipped, but this is, as mentioned, unverified. More importantly, it's not recommended by the OEM and could void your warranty. Oftentimes, small SUVs like the Audi Q3 are not designed for towing. So, if you need the option to haul some serious loads outside of the cargo area, the three-row Audi Q7 is your best bet: it can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.

With a 15.9-gallon gas tank size providing ample range, the wallet-friendly EPA-estimated 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 from the 45 TFSI engine is even more impressive, especially considering the 7.1-second 0-60 mph time.

Additionally, while most luxury vehicles require more expensive premium gas, the Audi Q3 gas type is regular, so you'll enjoy a big advantage at the pump. Head over and test-drive the new Audi Q3 now, or scroll down to explore more exciting Audi Q3 specs!
