Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Audi Q3 stands out for its striking design outside and its big tech inside.

Pros
High-tech features standard
Compelling exterior design
Roomier inside
Modern interior

Cons
Too big for a subcompact?
Tech may require acclimation
Could get expensive

Audi has fully redesigned its Q3 for 2019. And this time around, the Q3 gains a few inches in wheelbase and overall length, which in turn increases rear passenger legroom and cargo capacity.

Pros
Packed with modern technology features
Interior is lined with high-quality materials
Quiet cabin and comfortable ride quality

Cons
Infotainment system can be distracting to use

By:

The 2019 Audi Q3 ranked #2 in Luxury Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Audi Q3 has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 8 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Posh, spacious cabin
Easy-to-use infotainment system
Sporty and comfortable driving dynamics

Cons
Poor fuel economy for the class

By: 
usnews.com

A unique turbocharged five-cylinder engine with nearly 400 horses makes the redesigned-for-2020 RS Q3 an exotic performance SUV that we can't buy.

Pros
Gutsy power delivery,
quirky five-cylinder sound,
impressively neutral handling for an SUV.

Cons
The U.S. still can't have it,
AMG and Porsche both offer more power in their competitors.

By:

The RS Q3 might be exceedingly fast in a straight line, but it just isn’t that much fun. Numb steering and a tendency to wash wide at the front count against it, while many will find its ride a bit too firm for their liking. For this money, the Porsche Macan S feels plusher and is more enjoyable to drive, even if it isn’t as fast.

Pros
Fast
Well-equipped
Sounds good

Cons
Stiff ride
Not that much fun
Interior doesn’t feel that luxurious for a £50k SUV
