The Audi Q3 at a glance

The Q3 was a result of Audi’s decision to launch a more affordable SUV to complement its growing Q lineup of heavy hitters. As it turns out, the Q3 proved to be a clever move, becoming one of Audi’s best-selling models since its introduction in 2011.

Featuring a wide range of engines, interesting features, high-spec cabin and the Quattro AWD system, the Q3 is worthy addition to Audi’s SUV lineup. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Audi updated the Q3 in 2015 and also debuted the second generation which took the game even further with sharper design, and more efficient powertrains! A year later Audi introduced a sleeker Sportback model with coupe-like styling, while a plug-in hybrid joined the lineup in 2021. If you are shopping for a used SUV that pampers you with luxury and features, the Audi Q3 might just be the perfect fit!

Pros

Well-equipped
High-quality interior
Strong performance

Cons

Not the most spacious SUV
Some variants can be expensive
Rivals offer better ride

What our AA Mechanics think of the Audi Q3

When buying a used Audi Q3, choose a car with good service history and buy from a reputable dealer where possible. On a test drive, manual cars should have a smooth clutch bite, while S tronic automatic models should change gear cleanly without hesitation. Check the infotainment system, virtual cockpit, navigation, parking aids and driver assistance features all work properly. A used car inspection and extended warranty are worth considering if you are considering a used Q3.
