Is the 2022 Audi Q3 a BETTER luxury SUV than a BMW X1?

Рет қаралды 77,381

Күн бұрын

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

Joe, thank you for a great show. Beautiful body styling with the exception of the fake vents, the excellent dash board styling could and should serve as an example to other brands. Without expensive packages this might be a satisfying purchase. I really like it.

Just bought one. For me was the best combination of size, features and comfort. I didn't get a Q5 cos I don't want a Q5, duh ! 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. There's nothing wrong with the engine, the car just weighs too much. 3900 lbs !!!!!. I wish they could knock off about 400lbs. That would improve everything.

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.

I would recommend anyone who is thinking about Q3 to go and have a test drive and real check of the interior space. To me Q3 is a squeezed version of Q5 and may not be preferred by anyone over a petite build. Put some more $$ and get Q5 instead 👍🏼 Q3 sound more of a fun ride for college graduates 😉😄

@DerHalbeEuro 8 ай бұрын

I disagree. I wanted to buy an X3 (G01) but didn't found a well equiped model in a fair price range. the interior design of the X3 (pre lci) and mmi also felt pretty outdated. Same goes for the current Q5 with that huge tablet tucked in the middle of the dashboard😂 So i tried this new Q3. Me and my girlfriend where surprised how spaceous the car felt in the front for a "compact suv". We end up buying this because if you are not fat or overly overweight you don't need more room. The Q5/X3 is bigger but more in the back side not a huge different on the front to be honest
