Audi Q3 two years away, Q1 also in the pipeline

Audi’s Q5 will arrive in the U.S. early next year. That will be followed by an even smaller crossover badged the Q3. No official details have been released yet, but according Michael Dick, Audi’s member of the board of management for technical development, the smaller Q is still two years out.

The smallest Q, known as the Q1 is also in the pipeline. Dick says that while no official decision has been made to produce the Q1, Audi feels that a Q1 crossover will fit well in North America. Don’t expect to see anything until... Read Article

Small, yet tons of personality. Audi's are loaded with class and quality. One thing, you won't miss Audi for any other brand. The Q7 is a very large SUV and if you are into that, cool. The Q5 seems like a good size, but the Q3 seems perfect. It should compete with Volvo's beautiful XC60.

Totally agree,
The only problem is they are sacrificing other models, such as the B8 S4 Avant, as they do not want to harm their crossover sales. Lame, I'd rather have an S4 Avant then a Q5.

Why? What the hell is the point of a Q3, let alone a Q1? Does anybody really want an SUV with no interior space? Crossovers really get just as bad mileage as traditional SUVs and it's annoying me that people are duped into thinking that buying a Ford Edge makes you way more eco-friendly than buying a Ford Escape.

Audi have stated they want to outsell BMW and Mercedes by 2015 (or something along those lines), they can't really acheive that without competeing in each of the volume segments -- they're not going to become the biggest by selling a couple of thousand R8's!

The Q1 is as daft as the X1, but while they are looking for sales figures, if one does it, they all have to!

so true, it becomes a vicious circle. For years I wondered why Toyota had so many trucks/SUVs until I noticed more companies doing the same in "response", fortunately Honda hasn't been as bad.

You have a point. I am of the opinion that Audi should not bother with any 4-passenger car smaller than the A3. As S4 stated earlier, who wants an SUV with no interior space?
