‘You can get an extra 4 inches in the back of a Q3 compared to a Q5’, don’t tell that to my girlfriend.

The word you're looking for at 08:00 I believe is translucent(Some light)....as opposed to opaque.(No light) Q3 is looking good!

I really looove the dashboard of the Q3, and your review (chill and detailed) is awesome, bro! I haven't ridden the Q3 yet, but I've ridden on the Q5, and its comfort level is almost Lexus-like, while the drive is awesome (not X3 levels but good enough)

The positioning of the volume control could be to the right on purpose to make it easier for the passenger to use it since the driver would use the steering wheel volume control. Very informative review, thanks.

Hey man I like yours way of explaining. Nice work keep working similarly further always

Great review, keep up the good work.

Great review! I just picked up a Q5 because I needed the extra space (2 kids + dog!) but I really liked the Q3. I agree that the interior design of the Q3 is nicer. Overall I’m still happy with the Q5 though. Keep it up, your videos are great 👍🏼

I’m actually glad they moved the damn volume button. Every time I have a passenger in my A4 they end up somehow bumping the volume button either shutting the system down or blaring the music in our ears

Really digging the new Q3.

I test dove both of them yesterday and went with Q5; simply because of the ride. I had Tiguan for 4 years, leaving out the electric geeks, the Q3 drive wasn’t that much different from my Tiguan, but man drive with Q5 was whole another level, I just chose Q5.

Hey awesome keep it up like the way you compare and explain!! 😀😀

Thanks for the review

Spot on with that new grill!

A common observation and concern amongst car reviewers of the new Q3 is that the location of the volume dial is on the passenger side so not easy for the driver to use. This exists on both left & right hand drive versions. Whilst they recognise the volume can be adjusted on the steering wheel, the reviewers think it's a bit awkward and possibly an afterthought on Audi's part, which I seriously doubt. That said, I also thought the same after watching a few reviews but I believe the design is meant to be for the passenger's use. It means they can control the volume without disturbing the driver e.g. in case they need to turn it down / up suddenly. It also encourages the driver to keep their hands on the steering wheel especially being the most commonly used function. Maybe I'm wrong but just a thought as to it's design.

Great video Mike.keep it up!

Brilliant video, just gave me the extra tips to buy this beauty next year !!

Great review, smooth and relaxed.

Great video Mike, keep it up!

Excellent job Mike, thorough, in-depth video. Keep up the good work. I Love Audi products, please do a review on the new 2020 Audi A4 Allroad when it comes out.

Great review and comparison to Q5 . Well done !

The volume button is meant for the passenger. The driver can control the volume with the steering wheel.

Are there options to make the Q3 more advantageous/off road capable or OEM or 3rd party? Like towing hook, skid plate, and snow/mud mode. What type of gas does it take?

I’m currently 16 and will be 17 next year, I want this car when I’m a little older, I wasn’t sure which Audi I want Because I was debating between the A6 & Q3 but I’ve finally made my decision to get the Q3, since I go on family trips often and I don’t want to drive anything too small but not too big plus carrying packages and doing grocery shopping will be easy! I also like how it looks, it looks classy and sporty though I’d always drive in comfort mode lol, I really liked your video and thank you for helping me choose!

He lost me when he kept opening and closing the back lid to measure the space behind the rear seats. Leave the freaking thing open man!

21:14 You say q3 seats are pretty much same as q5. But in q5 video you says q5 seats are one inch wider with more support and comfort, compared to q3.

I was under the impression the volume knob was for the passenger and so it’s placed for their ease rather than the driver. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great comparison. Great video.

Best thing ever on Audi ( Porsche) are the highly intuitive , practical non distracting rotary volume/ && controls built into the steering wheel. All other manufactures controls are distracting buttons mixed in with other controls that require time to get used to. ps. Many other manufacturer vehicle controls are more distracting then texting while you drive !!!

you can use some of the touchscreen cleaner you get everywhere for your phone. 😁

Great video!

I haven’t seen this flat bottom steering wheel in any q3 I’ve seen. Is this an option?

Great review thanks Q3 wins my vote 👌🏼

Great vid but you forgot about technical differences like suspension, engines. Yes the interior of Q5 is out still the same in Q5 2021. I can't understand why Q5 2021 is still dated compared to Q3 2020.

The volume button is for the passenger not for the driver! The driver has all the controls on the steering wheel.

What trim is this? I can't find the nice wheel on most Q3's, even the Premium Plus S-line

Great review,, keep it up Man 👍

Dude, awesome review!

are the flat bottom steering wheel in the Q3 coming to USA? is not available in any trim.

Any comparison between audi q3 and Volvo xc40? Planning to buy one by end of this year.

Hey I own a 2018 q3 would you be able to mention some more about gas milage and the auto start stop system comparing to the new and old Audi q3?

Enjoyed your video very much..you hit the features I like and don't seem to get with other reviews. I drove this car and thought the steering was very light and seemed to wander..but not sure what drive mode i was in...a loaner from dealer. I liked the car very much but wanted more power. I drive an A4. Hard choice between Q3 and Q5. Electronics are great in the Q3.Won't got that in new A4....great review !

thanks for very helpful review

Love this review.

Is the wireless charging standard on all 2021 q3 models ?

MIKE TELL AUDI NORTH AMERICA WE WANT THE SQ3 AND RSQ3 PLEASE

Thank you for the time, thoughtful review, very helpful...

We drive a 2014 Q5 but I’m totally smitten with this new Q3!!!

Great review! I do love Q3 as well but am having a hard time overlooking the low fuel economy numbers... I do wonder why Audi doesn't put heated steering wheel as a part of the sport package...

I never use the knob to to turn my volume up, down. I use the buttons in the steering wheel. To me the volume button isnt bad BUT what i dont like is the empty space between the knob and start button. It looks like you didnt get an option thats available

I'm assuming there is a volume control on the steering wheel, so perhaps Audi engineers placed the volume control there primarily for the passengers.

Audi is awesome but I choose the Q5 👍

40tfsi or 45tfsi for Q3? What would you suggest.

has carplay?

Recommendation: please mention the trim before you begin so we know what we are looking at. This looks like top trip. Otherwise great review 👍

Great review! The new 2019 Q3 is stunning. Would have been awesome to see you do a string acceleration in dynamic mode! Keep it up brother 👍🏻🙏🏼💯

Next year going to get Audi Q3 sline can’t wait 😊

Q5 is maybe a lil old lookin but it is for sure class higher than Audi Q3

Q3 great car, but if you get a panoramic roof, be advised that multiple leaks happened often from degrading seals

Is that sporty R8 looking steering wheel and steel pedals included in the S-line prestige? I'm currently in the process of purchasing, and those are not part of the standard prestige build.

The designe of q5 in back is fabulous and make the all difference

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing

need a vid about A5 vs Q5 😬

I like the way the infotainment screen is built in to the Q3 dash Instead of having a computer tablet stuck to the dash of the Q5 Ridiculous at this price point

So there are no heated steering wheels on any of the 2019 Q3? After going through to many winters with freezing hands this is a game changer for me, back to looking at the BMW X3.

It's funny, we just went through this.. We were between a 2020 Q3 and 2020 Q5 - we went with the Q3... The Q5 did not give us enough of a size upgrade to justify the price difference, and both had the same tech and options. Very happy with our decision.

Very crisp review !

We are looking at the Q3 to replace my wife’s X5. I really liked the new touchscreen infotainment, best in class

Its the q3 much bigger than a x1 ?

It’s a shame they didn’t do the full upgraded MMI Touchscreens in the Q3 like they did in the A6/A7/Q8/E-Tron.

We own a new Q3 and when you leave the car and hit the door handle it doesn’t lock! What am i missing???

I subscribed. This is a proper review and comparison not this 5minutes carwow and they even call it in-depth.. smh

Very good video. The material quality is very good for a compact SUV, but you can find low quality spots. The cover of the door pockets has not the best quality, the air outlets feel a bit cheap, you cannot close the middle console apart from the pocket under the armrest. And you guys all over the world: why do you need more than 150 horse power regarding a boring speed limit everywhere you go? As long as I don’t have to pull a trailer or live in the mountains, outside of Germany no one needs 200+ horse power 😂 Well and if you don’t order “keyless”, you of course still have an ignition lock and the key itself is 100% the same as in the 2005-2012 Audi A3 8P

what would you choose q5 vs glc300 both 2019?

Great review. I've decided to get the Q3.

why did you close the tailgates every time when you knew you were going to open them again..

Im love that video ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, Quite the comprehensive review, but often overlooked in a spec-by-spec comparison is the actual experience. I traded in my A3 (a fabulous fun car to drive) for a 2019 Q5, over the Q3, principally due to a few attributes that are specifically my preference, top two of which are engine and transmission. The Q3 in Europe has the 7-speed DSG (as did my 2016 A3, which had the earlier 6-speed version) vs the North American 8-speed standard auto with a torque converter. Hence to me the Q3 is no comparison (on the fun scale) to the Q5's earlier and higher torque curve combined with the 7-speed DSG. I essentially drive exclusively in sport/dynamic mode and I would suggest evaluating either model by test driving in this mode. That way you'll see how the car behaves at its best. Note that both the Q3 (transverse) and Q5 (longitudinal) are FWD proprietary vehicles but in the sport/dynamic mode, you'll never no the difference. The Porsche Macan (the Q5's street smart cousin) is proprietary RWD with a very similar drivetrain to the Q5. And honestly, a few inches of cargo space is a concern?! Buy a bloody pickup truck if you're hauling drywall..... Thank you

Should you do a review on the Q3 Sportback if possible? It looks badass, tbh.

I'm looking for durability I actually keep and pay off my cars I like the style of the q3 so my two choices are bmwx4 and the q3 point me to the right direction

Can u show the keys of q3 and q5

I'd pick Q5 all day

Do you know why the US does not get the flat bottom steering wheel in the S-Line package?

So awesome!

TFS great content loved your review.

test drove these back-to-back last weekend. Q3 is pretty sluggish. Bad turbo lag. Q5 is much more fun to drive

I am 6.3 feet tall ,do you think I can fit into the q3 2020

Why do you need a CD player? Gee there are still people who buy CDs, and almost no companies include CD players in their vehicles now. Why not keep a feature that a few people might actually consider to be a deciding factor over competitors?

Tried it with both fobs. no success. Maybe it is a setting that we haven’t figured out yet? Or maybe a call to the dealership is required! ---

Mqb o mlb ? Obvius mlb q5

the steering wheel is coming from which trim or package?

Did he mention the mpg ?!?

How does this car do in snow and ice? I’m moving to Chicago...

2019 Q5 is build in a old platform and 2019 Q3 is a new platform. 2020 Q5 is going to be very similar to the E-tron and definitely is going to be much better with the new touchscreen.

its a shame the air con panel is analogue from the current A3 range... its like theyve gone to the trouble of updating the top of the dash, from an A6... and then left the old school A3 sub dials there... for whatever reason. Its pointless comparing a Q3, on MQB transverse platform, to a Q5, on MLB... Q5 is definitely a notable step up just in drive and stability... MQB is always going to mean fwd based Haldex part time AWD... where as MLB caters for longitudinal engines, and hence proper awd offerings, ie Torsen centre diff.

Nice SUV, very classy. I'd compare it to my 2019 MAZDA CX 5 GT Reserve 2.5 L. turbo, AWD for US $36,000. My CX 5 is a lot more torquey (310 ft. lbs.) engine, great exterior and interior styling and VERY high quality and safety ratings. And for the money I got a lot more features than an equally priced Q3. Plus critics rave about the steering and handling of the CX 5 AWD. I would rather have the reliability of my CX 5 than the cachet of an Audi badge. Jus' sayin'...

a microfiber cloth included in the cabin for dirty fingers make sure it's not get stolen

Bad at math but loves his inches. Not so wide but long. And can fully lean back. I couldn't stop laughing. Great review though.

This new Q3 have memory seats ??

Q3, for sure. The Q5 is dated at this point.

Very cool car for parking
