Audi Q3 Sportback in short
The Q3 Sportback is the coupe-roofed version of the Q3, sold in India as a single S line variant at ₹54.25 lakh — the most affordable coupe-SUV from a German luxury brand here. It carries the same 190 PS 2.0L TFSI petrol and standard quattro as the regular Q3, trading some practicality for the sloping roofline and sportier S line trim. No direct coupe-SUV rival exists at its price; the standard Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA are the cross-shops.

The Discovery Sport is Land Rover's most affordable model in India and the only 5+2-seat option in the compact luxury SUV class: a single Dynamic SE trim at ₹63.37 lakh with petrol and diesel identically priced, per Land Rover India's official pan-India list. The third row is occasional-use, child-friendly seating, but no Mercedes GLA, BMW X1 or Audi Q3 offers one at all — that flexibility plus Land Rover's Terrain Response is the whole pitch.
