  • The Q3 is Audi's smallest SUV. On the outside you will find 20in wheels, full LED lighting and a forward facing camera. On the inside you will be greeted by a digital gauge cluster, panoramic sunroof and HUD. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

      @@DUNGSTA Trust me, it's more entertaining than a Honda CRV Hybrid or a Honda Pilot or Passport which can be in 45 to 50K. The only thing it's truly missing is Ventilated seats. If you test drive one of these for a good 15 mins, you'll be sold. I'm on my 2nd Audi (A6 this time), and looking to turn it in for an Suv. In last three weeks I've reviewed every Small and Midsize Suv and although this is on the smaller size of most, the fun factor and styling and features is all there on this Q3, atleast on the 45 Premium Plus Q3

    I have a 2022 Q3 that I've had for about a year now and absolutely love it. The only thing I do think they could really improve a bit is the MPG for as small as this vehicle is it doesn't get good gas mileage. I've gotten Q5 loaner vehicles that get better MPGs than my Q3. I really wish Audi would bring the Q3 Sportback to the states as well.

Q5 won't fit in my garage, and it takes premium fuel (not regular) LIKE Q3. Also Q5 doesn't have nice monitor built in dash which is my favorite feature.

      So i tried this new Q3. Me and my girlfriend where surprised how spaceous the car felt in the front for a "compact suv".
