Audi's compact SUV, theQ3, now features a special limited edition model, the "Q3 Color Selection Misano Red," with unique equipment and color schemes.

The base model is the "Q3 1.4 TFSI," a front-wheel-drive variant combining a 1.4-liter direct-injection turbo engine with an 8-speed S tronic transmission, all within a compact 4.39-meter body. Despite its small displacement, it delivers 150 ps and 250 Nm of torque, while also achieving an impressive fuel economy of 17.4 km/ℓ (JC08 mode), a first for an Audi Q series model with front-wheel drive.

In addition to the standard aluminum roof rails, aluminum door sill plates, and 17-inch alloy wheels found on the base model, the exterior features body-colored bumpers, which are typically optional.

Furthermore, the MMI 3G Plus system, usually an option, is now standard, offering multimedia functions such as HDD navigation, terrestrial digital TV reception, CD/DVD playback, and music storage. It also includes the Audi Parking System with a high-sensitivity rearview camera, which displays the area behind the vehicle on the MMI screen when reversing.

The body color is exclusively "Misano Red," as indicated in the model name. This was the most popular color for the special edition "Q3 S line competition" released last February. The Q3 Color Selection Misano Red is priced at 4.49 million yen, 590,000 yen higher than the base model, and is limited to 120 units.
