Driving Experience
A seven-speed automatic gearbox, quattro four-wheel drive and 180hp power output from the 2.0-litre turbo engine should in theory make for a reasonably exciting drive, but the reality is a little different. The Q3 Sportback is actually quite calm and composed, with very little to hint that it can reach 100km/h from a standstill in a reasonably brisk 7.4 seconds.

The early stages of the accelerator pedal’s travel is quite muted, and the car is very civilised at urban city speeds. Flipping the Drive Select switch to Sport mode and driving with more commitment brings out the dynamic qualities of the car and even then it attacks with very little drama.

There’s no snarling, growling exhaust note and it barely breaks out into a sweat through corners, and that’s what’s so interesting about the way the car is tuned. It can do fast. In fact, the way it grips, carries speed, and stays flat through corners is quite amazing.

There’s just very little theatrics to the proceedings. It’s a quietly confident car, and the highlight of the driving experience is how it can be comfortable and quiet enough for kids to sleep soundly through a whole highway drive, and then really show its mettle when shown a series of corners. And if the kid is still sleeping, well he won’t be now.
