Overview
- The third-generation Q3 arrives as a thorough redesign that reviewers say finally feels like a proper Audi.
- Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbo four with 255 hp and 273 lb-ft paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch and AWD, with a claimed 0–60 mph in 5.5 seconds.
- A new curved MMI spans much of the dash with larger icons, and map guidance once again appears in the instrument cluster.
- Test drives praise improved steering feel and body control but report noticeable tire noise and a ride that can feel stiff, especially on 20-inch wheels.
- U.S. pricing starts at $44,995 including destination, and design tweaks such as active grille shutters and customizable DRLs help retain roughly 25 mpg combined.
