Review
The Q3 looks like a rather compelling proposition. It’s immensely practical, features a high-tech interior and is decent to drive. However, with the predicted best selling engine feeling a little rough around the edges, the diesel engine currently hamstrung by a vague manual gearbox and a ride that can't quite match the Volvo XC40, the Q3 isn't quite a class leader. Yet.
get the best priceTrim: Sport
Entry-level Sport trim is very well equipped coming with 18in alloys, LED front and rear lights, MMI Navigation plus, Virtual Cockpit, dual-zone climate control, a power-operated tailgate, cruise control and automatic emergency braking.
Engine: 35 TFSI
We would recommend the 1.5 over the larger 2.0-litre petrol because the latter is only available with Quattro four-wheel drive and is less efficient as a result. The 1.5 also delivers enough performance for most drivers.
