We attended the international launch of this car in the middle of 2018 (see that video here • New Audi Q3 First Driv... ) and so it feels a bit odd to only be publishing our full review on local soil now.
However, the car was massively delayed in reaching South Africa and so the Audi Q3 is still fairly fresh on the scene.
