From Glasgow, Scotland, where the River Kelvin flows into the mighty Clyde, stands the Riverside Museum—an architectural masterpiece that captures movement and history in its fluid form. It’s the perfect place to meet a car designed with a similar spirit.
The all-new Audi Q3 makes a striking first impression: expressive, dynamic, and emotional, with an interplay of sweeping curves and precise lines. From the museum, we begin our journey toward the Scottish Highlands—but first, we must navigate Glasgow’s charmingly chaotic city streets. It’s here that the new Q3 begins to show its range, adapting to both the demands of modern traffic and the personality of the driver behind the wheel.
Inside, the Q3 feels refined yet sporty. The seating is supportive and elegant, designed for comfort over long drives while keeping a sense of performance alive. Within minutes, it’s clear that the Q3 isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a digital companion that enhances every part of the driving experience.
In the city’s historic center, where cobblestone streets and tight parking spots test even experienced drivers, Park Assist Plus reveals its precision. Using a network of ultrasonic sensors and high-resolution cameras, the system recognizes surroundings in real time, guiding the vehicle effortlessly into tight spaces. Visual and acoustic cues add confidence to every maneuver—a real advantage in Scotland’s largest city.
Back on open roads, Traffic Sign Recognition takes the lead, detecting speed limits, zones, and construction areas before projecting the information directly onto the head-up display. The result is a drive that feels intuitive, informed, and distinctly Audi—where design and technology merge seamlessly.
As our journey continues into the rolling green of the Highlands, one thing becomes clear: the new Audi Q3 is not just built for the road ahead—it’s built for life as it’s lived today.
Stay tuned for more from our first drive of the all-new Audi Q3.
