Audi announced the 2015 Q3 crossover last year, and now for 2016, the same model is getting a facelift featuring some major upgrades, which means a bump in the price too.

The updated equipment now include a set of newly designed xenon headlights, LED tail lamps, 18 inch alloy wheels, front grille, and side skirts. The colour scheme offers 4 new beautiful paints including Hainan Blue, Utopia Blue, Misano Red and Cuvee Silver.

The interior is also loaded with high end features such as heated leather seats, LED interior lights, dual zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof. Additionally, an MMI control is installed for controlling the multimedia and navigation system conveniently.

The powertrain of 2016 Audi Q3 features a 2.0-litre TFSI engine generating 200 horsepower and 207 pounds feet of torque. Paired with the turbocharged engine is a six-speed automatic transmission system.

Like all Audi vehicles, the 2016 Q3 will also have a Quattro all-wheel drive variant with a starting price of $36,725, while the base version will carry a price tag of $34,625.
