German carmaker Audi has got 125 bookings for its new Q3 S edition sports utility vehicle which was launched yesterday. Q3 was priced at Rs 24.99 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi).
Audi Q3 S will continue to derive its power from the same 2.0-litre diesel engine, but it has been tuned for better fuel efficiency. As against the regular Q3's 174.3bhp, the Q3 S produces 140bhp. The fuel economy too has gone better with the Q3 S, it now returns an impressive 17.71kmpl, while the regular Q3 returns 15.73kmpl. Since it's a low cost version of the Q3, it misses out on some features like Quattro four-wheel drive and automatic transmission gearbox. In spite, Audi Q3 is a front-wheel driven car and the power is transmitted to the wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
