The Audi Q3 is practical, has plenty of tech and is decent to drive. However, the Range Rover Evoque and Volvo XC40 are both classier inside, more comfortable and, ultimately, are better all-rounders.
Sport trim comes with a generous standard kit list, which includes 18in alloys, dual-zone climate control, an electric tailgate and cruise control. Indeed, it's our favourite trim.
This is all the engine most Q3 buyers will want or need. It has enough oomph at low revs to avoid you needing to work it hard, but when you are in a hurry can haul the Q3 from 0-62mph in 9.6sec (9.4sec if you've gone for the optional S tronic automatic gearbox).
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
