The '''Audi Steppenwolf''' was a [[concept car]] produced by [[Audi]] and presented at the [[Paris Motor Show]] in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/344010/audi-steppenwolf-concept-we-forgot/|title=2000 Audi Steppenwolf: Concept We Forgot|last=Audi|website=Motor1.com|language=en|access-date=2019-09-26}}</ref> The Steppenwolf was a study for a three-door [[Compact sport utility vehicle|compact]] [[crossover SUV]] based on the [[Volkswagen Group A platform|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|Audi allroad quattro]]), a removable [[Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer|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 Coupé quattro, another concept car in the same class, which was the basis of a production version called the [[Audi Q3]] for 2011.
