Undergoing testing in Europe, the heavily camouflaged prototype of the 2012 Audi Q3 features distinctive headlights, a prominent grille and a sloping roofline that mimics the Cross Coupe Quattro Concept from the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show. Additional information is scarce, but the crossover is based on the Volkswagen Tiguan and has a specially tuned suspension for a sportier driving experience. At launch, engine options are expected to include a 2.0L TFSI with either 168hp or 208hp as well as a 2.0L TDI that cranks out 168hp. They will be mated to the usual transmission choices and C02 emissions are expected to range from 158g/km to 184g/km. The Q3 will probably be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, before going into production at the Seat factory in Martorell, Spain this year.
