Audi India to launch cut-price Q3 in first week of August; may get branded Q3 S

 

Spotted earlier on test in Mumbai, the Q3 S skimps on LED tail-lamps and front day-time running lights.

The Indian management, our source tells us, was asked to chose between “Q3 Active” and “Q3 S”, of which the company settled for the latter.

Audi India is now gearing up for an August first-week launch of the Q3 S and is currently in the process of finalizing the dates. We’ve been told that the launch may happen on the 6th of August, if everything goes according to plan.

Despite the missing equipment, we believe that the Q3 S is brilliant value for money and is worth the wait, if you’re looking at the BMW X1 Corporate Edition.
