does anyone know for sure what the actual hp for the Q3 2016 usa version?

200 - same as last year ...

I heard there was a rumor that they bumped it to 220hp.


I wonder where that come from.

It WAS a rumor, I believe Car and Driver started it, and said too that he DSG was coming - NOT - too bad on both counts ...

That is a number we should see sometime in the future, quite possibly even before mid-cycle refresh, i just hope it's going to be mostly in the lower end of the power band to we actually feel it with the style of driving we'll be doing.

yeah I didn't think car and driver would post it up completely wrong. just no real time is what im thinking but it will be too late for me as im buying into it now.

This facelift IS the mid-cycle refresh - the next car will be all new on the MQB platform ... fact is Audi can rate the CCTA engine (ours) anywhere from 200-292 hp - depends on where and what they want/need ...
