Surprisingly, the Q3 will be packed with several features that Audi
generally reserves for its sportiest cars, the RS 4 and R8. Those
options will include ceramic composite brakes like those of the R8,
cross-linked dampers similar to the system on the RS 4, and driver-
selectable suspension settings. In addition, a so-called drive-select
program will give the choice of three different modes (sport,
efficiency, and dynamic) that affect suspension tuning, throttle
response, transmission shifts, and steering effort. As one would
expect, in efficiency mode the Q3 will work toward maximizing fuel
economy: The engine will shut off when idling and minimize the use of
the air conditioning. Audi claims efficiency mode will boost fuel
economy by 20 percent.
