To correct some posts above, the 2018 Q3 is now on the MQB platform (same one as the A3/S3/RS3/Golf/GRi/Golf R). Moderator: This is incorrect information that a simple Google search could have clarified. The next generation Q3 will be built on MQB, but as noted earlier by mkoesel, it will not debut until next year.
And it is a gorgeous looking small SUV. That said, it's a Haldex, not quattro, based AWD system which makes it an essentially front wheel drive vehicle that sends power to rear wheels as deemed necessary. Very noticeable FWD characteristics on the S3 I test drove.
As for this, a new contender for a replacement for my wife's A3 which we'll be doing in the next year. She's partial to hot hatches, but they're non-existent. She doesn't like the look of the X1, but loves the 2018 Q3 looks as well as the GLA 45 AMG (that's just too expensive for us and the GLA 250 doesn't appeal ... who wants a Car2Go as their daily driver).
