The
Audi Steppenwolf
was a
concept car
produced by
Audi
and presented at the
Paris Motor Show
in 2000.
[1]
The Steppenwolf was a study for a three-door
compact
crossover SUV
based on the
Volkswagen Group PQ34
platform used in the contemporary
Audi A3
and
Audi TT
. Powered by a 3.2L V6 engine with
four-wheel drive
, the Steppenwolf had several novel features, including four-level adjustable air suspension (similar to the
Audi allroad quattro
), a removable
carbon fibre
hardtop
or optional soft top, and an electro-hydraulic
parking brake
.
The Steppenwolf didn't result directly in a production model. However, six years later, Audi presented the Audi Cross Coupe quattro, another concept car in the same class, which was the basis of a production version called the
Audi Q3
for 2011.
