Under the hood of the RS Q3 is no blown V6 or V8 Spielerei lie. No, it’s the acclaimed 2.5-liter five-cylinder from the TT-RS and RS3 , which may provide the necessary horsepower to make.

The next Q3 to be fairly rugged and aggressive in design. It is also easy to see the similar design cues in the front fascia with the bigger Q5.

Expect moderately larger wheels – something in the realm of 18 to 20-inches. The Q3 will essentially fill the role of an upscale and more luxurious VW Tiguan – of which it shares a platform.

The Q3 is set to ride on the same VW chassis that the Golf and Tiguan use. We also hear it will have a Haldex all-wheel drive system instead of the usual Torsen all-wheel drive system found on most other Audi vehicles.

In the U.S. market, the Q3 will likely only be available with a 211 horsepower 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder. However, the supercharged V6 used in the S4 may find its way under the Q3′s hood. A next-generation version of Audi’s dual clutch “S-tronic” manu-matic transmission is also a likely bet.

European Q3 buyers will likely have the option of VW’s 1.4-liter TFSI inline-four engine — tuned to somewhere in the neighborhood of 125-150 horsepower — as well as two turbo-diesels powerplants, one of which may boast as much as 200 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
