Audi has shown a new version of its Q3 SUV in India.
The car looks more dramatic than the older model, with special lights and glowing Audi rings at the back.
Inside, it has two large screens and many comfort features.
It still keeps some physical buttons for important controls.
The Q3 has space for luggage in a 488-litre boot.
Its petrol engine makes 204 horsepower and sends power to all four wheels.
Audi says it can reach 100 kilometres per hour in 7.1 seconds.
The car is expected to arrive in showrooms around Diwali, but its price will be announced later.
The third-generation Audi Q3 has been revealed in India ahead of its expected Diwali launch.
The SUV features split headlights, a wider stance, illuminated rear Audi rings and a full-width light bar.
Its cabin includes 11.9-inch digital instruments, a 12.8-inch touchscreen and physical controls for key functions.
The India-bound Q3 uses a 204hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and quattro all-wheel drive.
