This May 2016 Audi Q3 2.0 TFSI Quattro S Line S Tronic is a particularly desirable example of Audi's premium compact SUV, combining strong 2.0-litre turbo petrol performance, legendary Quattro four-wheel drive, S Tronic automatic transmission and the highly sought-after S Line specification.

This is certainly not the basic Q3. The combination of 2.0 TFSI + Quattro + S Line + S Tronic gives this car the performance, appearance and specification that really makes an Audi Q3 stand out.

For someone looking for a premium SUV that's quick, refined, practical and reassuring in all weather conditions, this is a very impressive package.

The S Line specification is a major attraction on this particular Q3.

Audi's S Line treatment gives the car a much sportier and more purposeful appearance than the standard versions, both outside and inside.

Put simply, this is a very strong Q3 specification.

Under the bonnet is Audi's 2.0 TFSI turbocharged petrol engine, producing approximately 180PS.

That's an important distinction because this Q3 offers considerably more performance than the smaller-engined versions.

The turbocharged engine provides strong acceleration and excellent flexibility, giving you plenty of power for overtaking, joining faster traffic or simply enjoying the car on an open road.

Yet when you're cruising, it remains smooth and refined - exactly what you'd expect from a premium Audi.

The Quattro badge is one of the most recognised names in four-wheel-drive motoring, and it's a major selling point on this Q3.

Audi's Quattro system provides additional traction and confidence when conditions become challenging.

On wet roads, winter mornings or slippery surfaces, having power available through all four wheels gives an additional level of reassurance.

For UK and Irish weather, Quattro simply makes sense.

The S Tronic automatic transmission is the perfect partner for the 2.0 TFSI engine.

Around town, it makes the Q3 effortless and relaxed to drive.

Head onto the open road and the quick gear changes allow you to make full use of the turbocharged petrol engine's performance.

The result is a Q3 that can be comfortable and refined one minute and surprisingly lively the next.

Step inside and there's the reassuring feeling of quality that has made Audi interiors so highly regarded.

The S Line specification adds a sportier atmosphere, with supportive seating and distinctive trim details giving the cabin a more purposeful character.

The controls are logically positioned, the driving position is excellent and the elevated seating gives you a commanding view of the road.

It feels solid, premium and beautifully put together.

One of the best things about this Q3 is that you don't have to sacrifice everyday usability to get the stronger engine and sporty specification.

You still have:

Five-door access.
Good passenger accommodation.
A useful luggage area.
An elevated seating position.
Compact SUV dimensions.

That makes it equally capable of handling family life, commuting, business use or weekends away.

This particular Q3 brings together four ingredients that work exceptionally well:

180PS turbo petrol performance.
Quattro traction.
S Tronic automatic convenience.
S Line sporting character.

It's compact enough to be manageable around town but substantial enough to feel reassuring on the motorway.

And when the road becomes more interesting, there's enough performance and grip to remind you that this isn't simply a practical family SUV.

There are plenty of Audi Q3s available, but the specification matters enormously.

This one gives you the desirable S Line appearance, the stronger 2.0 TFSI petrol engine, the security of Quattro four-wheel drive and the convenience of the S Tronic automatic gearbox.

That's an exceptionally appealing combination.

For someone looking for a premium compact SUV with proper performance, four-wheel-drive capability and strong road presence, this Q3 deserves serious consideration.
