8U and F3 Generations
The first-generation 8U (2011–2018) is based on the VW Tiguan platform. The current F3 generation (from 2018) uses the MQB platform and offers a more spacious interior, a virtual cockpit, and more advanced driver-assistance systems. The F3 Sportback version has a coupe-style roofline and a slightly sportier look. The RS Q3 is a high-performance version with a 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine.
