The Q3, Audi’s smallest and most economical SUV and, after the A3 sedan, its second-cheapest offering of any body type, is similar to the Volkswagen Tiguan but features a more luxury interior, significantly more power, and standard all-wheel drive. Even though the Q3 is small, Audi managed to make the inside surprisingly roomy. Plus, when all-wheel drive is added, the price is lower than many competitors. Audi will no longer make the Q3’s base engine after 2025. The 45 TFSI engine, a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 228 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque, is now standard on all Q3 variants. This used to be available as an engine update for the Q3. We had already suggested the 45 TFSI because it accelerates faster when needed, like when passing on a highway. The GLA and GLB from Mercedes-Benz and the X1 and X2 from BMW are both boxy and swoopy cars in this class. Audi, on the other hand, only has one small SUV. All four are wise choices. The Buick Encore GX is another car that people who want to save money might think about. Read our Edmunds Expert Rating to see how the Q3 stacks up against the other cars on the market. Pros vs Cons Pros Fully equipped with modern technology features. High-quality materials are used to line the inside. Cycling that is easy and a quiet house. Cons Not very good at using fuel. There isn’t much room in the back for people and their bags. Driving isn’t a very enjoyable activity. Performance In what way do you drive a Q3? During the third quarter, comfort is more important than excitement. The Q3 we tested took 7.8 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph, which was a little longer than we thought for a luxury small SUV. The eight-speed automatic transmission might take a while to act when you start to speed up from a stop. The Q3 is more lively when it comes to driving. It turns fast and stays under control even when making sharp turns. In general, daily driving is smooth and enjoyable, but if you want to drive for fun, the BMW X1 is a better choice. Comfort How comfortable does Q3 feel? The Q3 has a strong but not too stiff ride. There are some bumps in the car, but the Q3 moves quickly through them without making the body move too much. It’s also quiet because there isn’t much noise from the wind or cars outside. Interior How is the inside? Many people will be happy with the Q3’s accessible sitting arrangement. There’s enough space for two people in the back, and everyone can stand straight in the front. It is easier to see outside the Q3 because it has big windows and a small hood. The optional 10.1-inch touchscreen can be touched and has a proper clicking sound that lets you know when an order has been received. There are clear names for the buttons on the steering wheel and in the center panel. Technology How does the tech work? You can use Apple CarPlay from afar with the Q3’s standard MMI navigation system. It may take a minute to work after starting the car, but it is useful in the long run. The guidance is easy to use and change, but the real star is the map, which gives a stunning three-dimensional view. It can be hard to get used to all the important buttons and knobs on the Q3, even though all of its active driving safety features work well. Adaptive cruise control is usually helpful, but it sometimes breaks too late, so the driver has to take over if traffic suddenly slows down. Storage How are things with the storage? The Q3 does well even though it doesn’t have a lot of place for cargo. There is a flat load floor and small compartments on either side for securing small bags. There is also a security shade that can be taken down to make more room if needed. A wireless charging pad and a small grip between the cupholders make it easy to store smartphones, but that’s about it for small items. The holes for the back doors are big enough that you can easily lean in and put in car seats that face backward. There are three back anchors for safety above, and the car seat bolts are easy to reach. Fuel Economy How much fuel does it use? The Q3 we drove got 22 mpg combined, which was near the bottom of its class since most cars in this class get between 20 and 25 mpg. The Q3 got 26.8 mpg on our real-world test route, which was more than its figure. But it often didn’t get 20 mpg when going in the city or when there was a lot of traffic. While it’s not the best for the class, you’ll be able to beat the EPA number in the end. Value Is the Q3 package a good deal? It doesn’t have any bad plastic, cracks, or creaks. The Q3’s interior is very well made and nice to touch, even if it is a bit simple. The S series has a unique look thanks to its matte inlays and natural wood. The Q3’s MSRP is about the same as that of other cars in the same class, like the Jaguar XF and the BMW X2. Even for a luxury car company like Audi, their guarantees aren’t very good. Wildcard Because you know what to expect, you decide to go with Audi. While the Q3 is similar to other high-end cars, it stands out because of its unique style and driving experience, which are true to the brand. That’s about all that’s new in Q3. On the other hand, the crossover stands out because of its great technology, solid build, and small, personalized touches like ambient lighting that can be added. What is Invoice Pricing's Recommendation? There is only one engine and two trim options for the Q3, so it should be easy to choose one. We’d choose the Premium Plus because, for a relatively low price, it comes with big changes like a 360-degree camera system and a Sonos audio system. 2025 Audi Q3 Video Review
