Audi Q3 Overview
After a major refresh for 2019, Audi’s Q3 five-passenger SUV is virtually unchanged for 2020. The smallest SUV in the lineup, it’s still one of the most distinctive-looking subcompact SUVs on the road, beating many current Audi models in that regard.
The Q3 also conjures more zip from its turbocharged 228-horsepower 4-cylinder engine and quattro all-wheel drive than some (though not all) competitors in its class. EPA rated for 19mpg city and 27mpg highway its fuel economy is typical for the segment. That said, the front-wheel drive Lexus UX, for instance, is rated at 29 mpg city and 38 highway, numbers that might prompt you to question if all-wheel drive is an absolute necessity. (Like most Audi products, the Q3 is in only available with all-wheel drive.)
23.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second-row seats provides enough space for the detritus of daily life; fold them flat and cargo capacity increases to 48 cubic feet, enough room for major grocery hauls and luggage for week-long getaways.
