We finally have the official pricing information for the 2015 Audi Q3. It will start at a pretty reasonable $33,425 (including $925). If you are looking for something fancier than the base model, you'll be paying $37,325 for the top Q3 Prestige model. The Quattro AWD system is available on all models for $2,100.

All models come with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 200 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Where the Audi Q3 really shines is in the depth of stanard equipment that it offers customers. Here is the list of standard features: leather upholstery, heated front seats, Bluetooth, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the panoramic sunroof.

The voice-controlled MMI navigation Plus infotainment system and 14-speaker Bose stereo system are both available as options.

This puts that price higher than the rival Mercedes-Benz GLA250. As I said before though, its the standard features of the Audi Q3 that makes it special, and those features also justify the higher starting price.

One last bit of (non)news -- the Audi RS Q3 is probably not coming to the Us until model year 2016.

pricing is not too bad at all

Well the GLA 250 starts at $32,225, and I have the BMW X1 at $30,900. So the Q3 is more expensive than both.

Base price means almost nothing - look at comparable equipment for real apples to apples ...

Yup, it's just good for those that want an premium german vehicle for as cheap as it can be had for, which that basemodel is.
