Audi Q2 vs Audi Q3: verdict

Our verdict

The Q2 and Q3 are both among the better cars in their respective classes, but when pitted against each other, the Q2 is the slightly more appealing proposition.

Yes, the Q3 gives you more space for people and luggage, and it has a slightly more comfortable ride. However, the Q2 is far from cramped, plus it handles better, and has both a classier interior and more supportive front seats.

Add in the fact that the Q2 will cost you less – both upfront and in the long-term – and that it’s less likely to go wrong, and it’s got to be the winner.
