It is also available with Digital Matrix LED technology at the front and Digital OLED technology for the rear lights, with the option to choose from different digital light signatures.
The new generation Q3 offers a range of advanced driver assistance and parking systems, with the quattro all-wheel-drive system available depending on the trim level.
