- The Q3 has grown in size and capability, but still shares the VW MQB platform upon which the Golf is built. Does that mean the Q3 is just a tall Golf, or is there something more to this CUV?

Hi, from Japan. Yes, I love cars. Now, many Japanese people think having a German car is how cool and show people how rich they are. Actually, we can buy same or better quality of Japanese cars with less budget. I always struggle to think whether it would be worth to pay extra money to get German car badges or not. Oops, I remember now. I don’t have this much money. I don’t need to worry about it anymore. Yes!!
Japanese cars build cheaper and they r rust buckets. Body panels made put of cheap materials. They just copy German manufacturers. Interior is like 1800
In north america, people lease german luxury cars but when they need to keep a car until it is crap out, it will be either a honda or toyota, period.
@mannysinghparhar What are you smoking bro lol?
What Japanese car is better than the best German cars?
It’s my DD and I love it! Love the styling, the wide fender flares/hips, love the buttons/switches, love the smallish stance, love that it runs on regular gas, and I don’t really notice any lag. I drive in dynamic mode…
Thanks! I know you've got bills to pay so this had to be reviewed so I gave it a like and I'll wait for the next video.
Great review. Nailed it. I helped a friend out of a Q3 into a GV70 and she couldn't be happier. She complained about how lifeless the Q3 was and couldn't belive how great the GV70 was in comparison for the same price.
Except nothing in this video was a proper review of the Q3. 80% of the video was just pointless comparison to a Macan which is not even in the same segment and space. Go watch other better reviews and you will see where the difference in value or not so much value is.
My aunt has a 2018 Q5. Everything you say about the lazy throttle response in this Q3 could be applied to that Q5 as well. It does mar the driving experience in my eyes.
“It’s like a Golf” best compliment cause I love my Golf. Also love my Q3 it’s not as fast as a Porsche and that’s ok. Yes the Q3 is expensive I bought mine for half the price used looks and feels like new. I find the Q3 nibble and fun to drive.
Thanks guys … great review as always!
I wish Audi would release an RS Q3 for the North American market
Thanks guys for your candid review.
Q3 owner here from Canada. Strange, why is this so expensive down there? Mine is a mid-trim + black optics + s-line and comes out to $49k CAD pre-tax, which is about $37k US equivalent.
so how much more for a sun roof? Did that back seat fold down totally flat or slight angle? I like the way you guys personify the cars you review, as in, "...then it thinks..."
They are fantastic
Just bought the Q3 yesterday. It's amazing.
@12:20 well it is an old turbo
It's the same 1.8T 4 cylinder that was in my 2004 audi a4 sport package back then with 200hp . Just leased this and also a q5 45 261 hp that q5 is a beast monster and I only got it because I couldn't find a dsg golf r mk8 here in Los Angeles. I'm so happy with my q5 and how there is no delay somehow in comfort mode it rapes from 0 to 150 .
The bang and olufson sound system in my 2019 A5 sline was had an option to raise Bluetooth volume higher and louder than standard which is another reason I love audi, but this 2022 q5 with the same system doesn't have the Bluetooth volume control panel . I'm thinking it's because lots of them started having noises from the massiveness of the volume.
Also the q3 somehow feels a little more German except the engine sound. The speakers are very good for audi speaker and q3 . The rims and tire size is good too and the 48k or 42k you pay vs genesis will show its differences in long turn such as Quattro saving the day or the slow to react sensors somehow magically impress you,. Except the occasional back up sensor that breaks so hard when not even a car in its direction.
In my opinion the back up camera and sensor should do the same thing as front collision effect
My wife currently owns a Q3 S-Line and everything you said is spot on. The reason the engine/transmission package will never be what it should be is the Q5 (which we owned prior to the Q3). If they gave it the power it needed it would be too close to the Q5 and the only thing the extra money for the Q5 would get you is size. For that reason Audi will never make the Q3 what it should be.
Agree with you guys... Want something on the MQB platform with a 2.0L Turbo? - just get a GTI...
GTI has horrendous infotainment controls....
We just had our Audi A4 written off and have a 2024 Q3 on the way. We have made this decision as we wanted an SUV that only required regular fuel as with the A4 and my '21 GTI we need premium which here in Canada is about 30 cents a litre more which mounts up over time. Also wanted a real dipstick and proper spare tire. Not worried about the lag as we are used to the GTI Tiptronic and the planned passing becomes easier as you get used to it. Highway fuel economy in Imperial is 39 mp/g according to government economy sites. Not as important maybe but we like the sport seats a lot as well as the simple design of the dash and gauges. If you have to live with something day to day, the speedometer /tach in the BOW sucks as does the lack of a proper spare, Mercedes has the cheap air ducts so like the simple and clean design.
How does this compare to a Q5??
The garage door comment was classic. I’m a little bummed as I thought a Q3 might be worth taking my wife to look at. I can be bored while driving for far less money.
David, pass on the Q3. Trust me. DM me on IG and I can go into more detail. Cheers!
Until the turbos kick in?
I think it would be interesting to review the 2023 Hybrid CR-V!
Audi Q3 S-Line - I like cars
That would've been a fun one
Agree it's good looking, but what's with those fender gaps?!
What do u mean
Contrary to what most negative viewers said here, I think you guys did a great review on Q3. I really like the Q3 exterior and its subcompact size, but once I test drove it, the engine/transmission feels/sounds like struggling. I wish Audi brings over the sporty version SQ3 or RS Q3 to US. I ended up getting the S3 which feels and sounds great (coming from GLA45).
That's unfortunate. I was considering the Q3 as my new compact luxury SUV, but I'm bothered by its lack of responsiveness.
I’m just glad it doesn’t have that tiny golf shifter 😂
Great review as usual! Have always liked Audi's design language especially now the Q8 in their SUV lineup, but Audi's spotty reliability issues have been a problem for me. Would take the Lexus NX over this.
MINI was doing full interior LEDs long before Mercedes.
Another waste of space suv! Pass! Perfect for the sheep!
I just don’t get the fascination with crossover SUVs. Just because people think they need to sit up high. I will forever be a sedan or sports car guy.
@@chrissimmons9969 until bright ass LED headlights are in your face. As much as Sedan styling in Audi's are better, i despise sitting down low cause everyone else has bright ass LEDs and driving at night causes problems and immense eye fatigue.
Worst offenders are Tesla drivers, most of them have high beams on.
But most compact sedan in a similar size to Q3 dont have the trunk space, there is a reason why crossovers were invented to solve the market problem.
Used to love Audi but have been somewhat disappointed with them recently… comon VW!
I traded a Macan for the maintenance cost. Almost yesterday, screw you.
Hmm 🤔 why spend all that money when I can purchase a GV70.!!
Because the GV70 looks like it was designed by a 12 year old
I am not spending money on anything made by Hyundai
50k usd no tailpipes. Laughs in Hyundai
For $48,000, you could get a FULLY loaded out CX-5, which is larger, more capable, has more features, and has better dynamics. I think Mazda's line up is very compelling in this market, especially as they've increased the luxury feel of the interior (and offer the amazing soul red paint).
Not in the same class.
This does not compare to Porsche Macan in size or price point. Macan connects more with the SQ5
Blah blah blah! The car, not the guys.
Are VW/Audi now the appliance brands and Toyota the enthusiast brand? Wow! I know that’s been in the works for a while, but I am confused.
Aside from those seats, for that money I see no compelling reason to get this over a fully loaded Mazda CX-5.
What about styling?
@@anthonyfarnan5935 ....no?
Styling is subjective, but this just looks like a bloated and stretched A3 avante S-line. Or worse: aside from the grille it doesn't look any different to the VW Tiguan. The biggest strength of the A3 styling is that the new headlights and body molding help it hide the rounded profile edges that Audi products have (and also that you can get the S3 and RS3 instead). When they put it in SUV form you're reminded of it again.
The CX-5, even before the 2022 refresh, is well sculpted and unique and elegant (and the term "bloated" does not apply, without question). There's a reason why most car reviewers love the Mazda styling right now, and that Mazda owners get giddy and look back at their cars regardless of if it's a Miata or a Mazda3 or any of the SUVs: it's because it's actually good.
But even if the Audi styling appeals to you more, is it worth the extra cost? The Mazda still has better reliability, better handling, significantly more torque (with the same HP on regular gas, but also more HP if you put premium in the Mazda), and better fuel economy using a transmission with less gears. Not only that, but we are dealing with a FULLY LOADED CX-5 at the price of the Audi: leather interior, heated seats and steering wheel, ventilated seats, memory seating and mirrors, 360 cam, wireless charging, etc. If you add features to the Audi to match what the CX-5 has you're looking at MSRP of +5k more.
@@markcoopers1930 I don’t think there would be any car designers who think the CX-5 looks better than this.
@@anthonyfarnan5935 I mean you're wrong, but ok 😂. If your own eyes aren't convincing you feel free to watch these guys or really any other car review TH-camr out there (TH, TSP, SG, KK, DD, RR, etc) talk about the CX-5. Make sure to be on the next live stream and ask away as well.
@@markcoopers1930 no doubt the CX-5 gets good reviews. But that has nothing to do with styling. It looks tall and narrow. The Q3 looks far better in the flesh. Buyers aren’t cross shopping a CX-5 with a Q3 anyway. Completely different price points.
A golf with a lift kit 🤷
I have no interest in this car, before the first few minutes of the video. I guess I am not really interested in audi. I look to see the styling in and out. but that's about it. I have almost no interest in VW, but as the lower priced brand its more interesting how they save the money.
My 95 bmw weighs a lot less and has about the same horsepower. So its lame
The interior of this vehicle looks cheap.
The seat bottom is quite short. No thanks.
On the car they tested (S-line Premium+) it’s actually extendable.
wow, something that stands out, like volvo hyundai and genesis, wow, really, .... . hyundai and kia have been copying the German's design for a while already . the have been looking always a the masters of designs and performance in the car industry, and they are not Asian neither americans, but Germans, sorry
Thanks for bashing my new vehicle. :(
A3 and Q3 with ‘luxury’ or prestige packages are horrible value. A Q5 40 TFSI Premium with Convenience package is $46K.. (CarPlay, heated seats & steering wheel, memory seats, keyless entry).
The Q3 is for someone who doesn’t know anything about cars and doesn’t know the Golf R exists.
When your $48k car is available on airport rental car lot. Not my cup of tea.
A lot BMWs are on airport rental lol so are koreans and toyotas. Shit people evne use lexus these days as Uber. So what is your point.
@@441meatloaf None of those are on my buy list. How about that?
@@wicked_smaaht How about what? It proves nothing about what you've said.
Let me guess since you dont drive any of those brands, you must own an American truck/suv. And they aren't any better, american cars have terrible reliability, even worse than germans.
Buy a Mazda CX5 turbo instead of this and save $10,000 and enjoy a much superior vehicle.
A4 All Road is the answer...
Two shmooks
15:53 and just a lot of nagging about "power".. probably 20 times you nag about "power". An Audi Q3 is hardly a car you buy if you want a lot of horsepower? Why not tell us how the chairs feel? or how the car's petrol consumption in these days with high fuel costs. Sorry guys, lousy review.
The Q3 isn't a Macan competitor. Get that notion out of your head. The Q5 is a Macan competitor. Porsche doesn't bother with this segment. Just because something is German, doesn't mean Porsche has an answer for it.
While you are technically correct, this Q3 is quite close to the Macan in size and the latest versions of the Q5 are nearly the size of the Cayenne. Thanks for watching.
@@TestDriveVideos Still not in the same space. No other reviewers are comparing a Q3 to a porsche. Q3 is in the same space as BMW X1, Volvo XC40 and the Lexus NX250/UX250 level. Porshce is a step beyond Q3, price point is also beyond a Q3. Macan is near the price of a an SQ5.
And neither of any of those vehicles uses the same platform. Macan uses Audi Q5 MLB platform while a Q3 is European short wheel base Tiguan MQBA2.
Your review talks a lot of trash rather than the actual vehicle. Awful review.
Pointless review, 80% of this review is about you guys comparing to aPorsche and nothing technical or specific about the car, ride, handling, etc... Other reviews actually goes way more into detail, even the less popular reviewers like Sofyan and Fast Lane did a much better job covering the abilities of the vehicle and technical aspects, pros and cons a lot better.
Porsche Macan aint even in the same market competition. This goes against Lexus UX250 and NX250, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.
And all those you mentioned along with some entry level compact SUV’s are far better than the Q3.
@@audiophanatic4331 porsche Macan is not an entry level suv. The only one that is entry is ux250 and that car cost more on a base price than the audi q3. It's not anymore premium.
So you don't even have a clue what the entry lux market is
