The interior of the Audi Q3 Red Track includes two devices for winter sports fans. The side wall of the luggage compartment houses a charging station. It can be used for storing flashlights and charging them inductively at the same time. The same technology is used for the Thermos canister. It is located in the cup holder between the front seats and is able to chill or warm drinks. Both devices have LEDs that show the current charge level. One attractive extra is that, in addition to LED lighting, the flashlights incorporate an infra-red heating element that can be used for warming your hands or a pair of ski boots.
