Audi Q1 coming in 2016 -- thoughts?

Looks like we might be seeing some competition with our X1. 2016, the same year the F48 2nd generation X1 will be released, Audi will introduce their Q1.

Some possible features regarding the Q1 according to Car mag:

-Offered in both front-wheel and Quattro-drivetrain (AWD)
-Offered in 1.4L 4cyl. and 1.6L diesel; maybe 1.5L electric motor?
-A3 platform
-5 doors
-Will ride lower than the Q3 (obviously)

The Q3 will be the x1's competition - if it ever gets here. This will be too small to be in the same category as the x1.

although in a slightly different snack bracket, I was waiting for the Porsche Macan to come along but had to order my X1 as my previous lease (Infiniti EX35) was coming due.

Looks nice. The Porsche Macan looks awesome, but is way more expensive than an X1. Similarly equipped they are around $20k more.

I agree, when we were looking the Q3 was the comparison. Of course there was no Q3 in USA but it seemed promising. It looks to still be a while as Audi mucks about to get it classified as a light truck rather than a car.

Also Audi was in no hurry to bring the Q3 in as Q5 was selling big like the X3.

The Macan isn't a direct X1 competitor really though is it? It's Q5 based for a start.

I agree. I would say it's probably a competitor for the new X4 that's coming soon.

I hope that Quattro AWD system is better than the one on the Q5.

We've put 40K on an A4 with no complaints; it is the deal in our Westsylvania winters.
Now if all locked up is what you really want, I've a TJ Rubicon as a fall back....

Frankly, I would have jumped on an A3, but Audi saw fit to turn it into a sedan rather than a 5-door.
