Audi Q3 production begins in Spain
It wasn’t that long ago that Audi had no SUVs in its lineup – aside from the A6 Allroad Quattro – despite being known for its all-wheel-drive vehicles. But that’s all changed, just as it has for BMW and Porsche. TheQ7 was followed by the Q5, and now the Q3 has started production as well.
The first Q3 rolled off the assembly line today at the plant in Martorell, Spain. The facility belongs principally to Audi’s sister-company Seat, but has gone through a considerable expansion – funded by both Audi and Seat – to prepare for the Q3′s production.
Now that production has gotten under way, the Martorell plant is expected to churn out as many as 100,000 examples of the Q3 every year. For more details on the program and the expansion that made it possible,follow the jump for the full press release.
