Audi Q3 Crossover 2.0 TDI 177 quattro Sline auto 5dr Review

For The diesel engine combines mighty performance with resonable running costs, and the Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 177 S Line quattro comes with all sorts of aesthetic enhancements.

Against This engine comes only with the S tronic twin-clutch gearbox, which makes it pretty pricey. S line trim makes it even pricier.

The Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 177 S Line quattro has a great diesel engine that is let down by being available with only the S tronic gearbox.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There are four engines available for the Audi Q3 and, as with most SUVs, we’d recommend picking one of the diesels.The 138bhp 2.0-litre diesel comes with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, so it’s the most efficient of the Q3s. It just happens to be the cheapest one to buy, too.

There’s also a 175bhp 2.0-litre diesel, but because it only comes with the S tronic twin-clutch gearbox, the price will off put most people.

Of the petrols, we’d recommend the 168bhp 2.0 petrol. It’s so fast and flexible that it renders the more expensive 175bhp version virtually pointless.

We’d go for SE trim, which provides lots of luxury kit for a reasonable price. There are lots of optional extras that you can add, too, but beware; some of them are eye-wateringly expensive.
