2019 Audi Q3 gets grown up looks, tech

Say hello to the second-generation Audi Q3.

The subcompact crossover gets many improvements for 2019.

Aesthetically it's gone under the knife, resulting in a much more athletic stance.

The front gets a new grille and revamped headlights.

While out back the taillights and bumper both get a redo.

Inside Audi's Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster is available. 

The base model gets an 8.8-inch center screen, with a 10-inch screen being optional.

We're not sure what will be under the hood in the US, but we're predicting a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four will be among the possibilities. This engine will be available in 190- and 230-horsepower ratings abroad, and we hope the beefier tune will make it to the US.

Whatever engine shows up in the States, it will be mated to a 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission.

No word on pricing, but we expect to learn more as the 2019 Audi Q3 gets closer to hitting US shores.
