How do I get “invoice pricing” on a Q3 in ZIP Code 44130? Some crazy lady went flying through a red light and totaled mine. I’ve been sick about it. Just under 12,000 miles 2021 gray mint . 👉🏽Insurance adjuster did not give me what it cost to buy a new one so I need to get as close as possible to what I’m getting from the insurance company‼️
Great review as always! I have a 21’ Q3 and one of my favorite features is that Audi recommends regular 87 gas!! That really adds to the value proposition and I don’t believe a lot of the other small luxury SUVs run on regular.
Thanks for this review. I am debating between a BMW X1 and the Q3. I'm leaning towards the Q3 for the following reasons 1. Regular gas. 2. Steering - much easier than X1, 3. Still has buttons to control temp and sound. It isn't safe to have to look at the screen to make adjustments and I'm not sure I trust voice activation. 4. Handling - Less trucklike. 5. Price.
@@soccergirl5367I bought the x1. It is great on the highway but there are some limitations. The hey BMW command system never works. The car is so dam complicated. When I hit the accelerator it hesitates before it takes off which will probably result in a recall. It isn't safe. I miss all of the pre-sets and knobs. It still has some but you have to take your eyes off the road to change the temperature. I miss my 2018 x1. It was a much better car but had too many miles on it.
@@marinasmith4772 This is quite characteristic of a DSG trans in slow traffic (reason why the new X1 dropped from my shopping list) but should never happen at higher speed since it is supposed to be the strong point of DSG trans.
Just rented one and the gas economy was amazing and I got on it.Mine had a engine shut off at a stand still at traffic lights and would start up when ready to mat literally fractions of a second which was Amazing to me! Only one thing I didn’t like was the armrest in the door and center console sat to low but I guess I can get use to it for the instant torque this lil thing got Impressive
Consumer reports. I don’t think they want their videos to be half of an hour long. And it’s a snooze for young people like me who do their own research. Plus many of these new vehicles from luxury car manufacturers have great safety ratings, goes without saying. All that said, it’s very old fashioned to mention that. They did mention the safety features.
Awesome review guys, As Always!!! Do we have an option to get the heated steering wheel in Q3? I really wish Audi would have refreshed the new year model considering the BMW X1 is totally refreshed. I am very close to choosing between these two. Should I wait or just go for the X1 since it's got more features (not considering the price diff)?
Thanks! Looks like a heated steering wheel isn't offered. It seems like it's about time for a Q3 refresh but we haven't heard anything about when that might happen. There should be a new Q5 for 2025 if you want to consider something a little larger
Thanks for the review guys. Sadly down here in Australia we dont get the 45TFSi model, they said it would eat into the sales of the RSQ3, so we have the 40 and the 35 models (35 being FWD only). I bought the 2024 40 model and am happy, its very smooth on the road.
Great little car. Going Premium Plus is kinda absurd here in '24 IMO. It's $3k more and all you get for that is Top-View-360-Cam & Ambient Lighting. It's still another $2,500 on top of that $3k Premium Plus upcharge if you get the Tech Pkg so you can have wireless apple carplay. Premium (base) grade with the convenience pkg & black optics pkg gets one a heck of a lot of stuff for the $$. Just not Wireless Apple/Android CarPlay stuff.
Great job with this video. That sun roof is 🔥 For that to be standard is great value! The rear seats can be much more comfortable with your example of moving the seats back and tilting them back as well. Great job showing that feature. The 40/20/40 seat split is great. I'm not sure how many cars of this size off that. Too bad that wireless Car Play is not yet offered but maybe some other year, huh?
I don't know maybe maybe not I do I am looking at some Genesis products which I do like like the gv70 which is there too small I don't really know if it's affordable affordable affordable SUV especially the 3.5 sport advanced or the 3.5 sport Prestige which the one I would get so I want to see the changes for the 2024 of the gv70
Most informative overall-would have been quite beneficial to have shown “how” to perform various functions; I.e., how to release rear seats to fold them forward.
This will most likely be my next car equipped exactly like this and I like the absence of the mild hybrid system bc my current 2020 A5 tune is still compatible
Guys help me choose, Q3 or X1? My comparisons below. Drive/handling: X1 Comfort: Q3 (slightly) Looks: X1 (I like the more boxy shape) Mpg: X1 Gas: Audi (can take regular gas) Dashboard panels: Q3 (I hate all touch screen on X1) I want to have real buttons on Q3 but hate going to gas station lol...
@@itwaswritten804 but Q3 and X1 are both in the same class sub compact. X3 is bigger, competing with Q5. If I had the money, I will take X3 no questions lol. Anyway I ended up with X1, been amazing so far.
@@Ian-mv4qq No worries just don’t attempt to race me in a Q3…. Possibly Audi will belittle it’s brand and make a Q1 to make your vehicle suitable to its peer 😂
The problem with the cheapest models often is the use of plastics that leach volatile compounds that smell and engines that are not well insulated that leach bad air. The end result is a terrible headaches and nothing like a comfortable ride.
Going to test one today. Want a smaller suv with enough driver seat for a bigger guy. I’m 6’ and 225 lbs with broader shoulders. We already have a XC90 for road trips and the family car. I want something still higher up but smaller for city driving. Worried about the seat space though…hoping they are the same seat sizes between the q3 and q5
Another great review.... making life difficult (in a good way) to determine whether the Q3 or GLA250. I will let the wife decided as it will be her car.
The amount of plastic used really doesn't give me that luxury vibe. It feels like a slight upgrade to my 2020 Hyundai Tuscon Limited (or Luxury as the trim level is called here in Canada).....If I were to upgrade my ride tomorrow I'd pick Genesis GV70 over Audi Q3/5 on any given day.
Oh wow so great 👍 and very beautiful 😍❤️ and very good design with the new 🆕 technology for the new 🆕 generation hument very easy to drive and comfortable ❤.
I think audi needs to give better paint options and better rim selections. BMW gives way more options when it comes to rims and paint. Audi interior is also outdated the interior looks the same from 10 years ago and doesn't look luxury. I see cheaper vehicles thats more updated than an audi. They vehicles also need to be redisigned because you really can't tell the difference from the new and old.
This car is too small for that price! If you gonna spend that kinda money you best be buying a Bimmer or a Benz! Then you might just get a taste of scrumptious cakes like mine boo boo!!!!!

HAHAHA SAME

Wow regular gas something a mazda could've done for half the price and same features 😂
can you really put regular gas in it, I have a 2020 and the dealer told me only premium.
@@EmpireLA1988 yes you can! Should say “87 min” on the gas tank flap when you open it as well to confirm!
@@cormaro13 imagine comparing a crappy mazda to an audi clown 🤡
Rear seats slide is awesome. Our 2016 Tiguan has it too- expand trunk space and move dogs closer to the front - at the same time!
Now my first new Audi Q3 SUV I want to buy.

Love the Q3. It’s a very nice small luxury SUV. Keep up the good work…
Just rented one and the gas economy was amazing and I got on it.Mine had a engine shut off at a stand still at traffic lights and would start up when ready to mat literally fractions of a second which was Amazing to me! Only one thing I didn’t like was the armrest in the door and center console sat to low but I guess I can get use to it for the instant torque this lil thing got Impressive
I just test drove one today and thought the same thing about the center console, but you can raise it! It feels much better with it raised.
Could you add safety ratings in your videos, please? I know that is important to me and probably to others as well.

Wife has 23 q3 premium plus. Way better performance than the 2020 q3 we sold. Btw, the 2020 sold for 4 k less than we originally paid.
The vehicle is beautiful. The price is very attractive
Awesome job with my dream vehicle guys.
just got my 2024 Q3 S Premium few days ago and i LOVE it ❤💝
Congrats on your new Q3!
Same I just got one as well
Would like to hear your thoughts on the Cadillac XT4 vs Audi Q3. Awesome video. Extremely informative

The Q3 rides so much better and 87 octane is great on the wallet. It is a real pleasure to drive
Looks like the Q3 is getting refreshed for next year; I would and am waiting for that myself!
Congratulations on 400k!
I'm loving the new donut test! Great job as always!
Thank you!
But how many twinkies will it hold ?
I love how Audi designs their infotainment screens into the dash and not a funky screen that sticks out of the dash.
i have the same exact car but 2022, looks exactly the same wow..
Thanks for the review guys. Sadly down here in Australia we dont get the 45TFSi model, they said it would eat into the sales of the RSQ3, so we have the 40 and the 35 models (35 being FWD only). I bought the 2024 40 model and am happy, its very smooth on the road.

Can You Make The 2023 BMW X1
We are looking for one to review but we have t had any luck yet
You guys aren’t moving around as much when going around turns or bumps. Very smooth
Fantastic review as always!😸
Nice video keep up the good work fellas
I have a 2014 A6 2.0t quattro, i love that car but now I need one to fit a stroller. I am curious how this handles
It’s very hard to find this car under 40k at a dealer !!!
Cheapest version(no options) is wel over 50.000 euro.
Great review, always love watching your videos. Debating between this and the BMW X1, are you guys planning to review the X1 anytime soon?
Thanks! We are - but we haven't had any luck finding one in our area since it launched 😐
Are the Blacked out Badge and Model Designation bespoke purchases? I don't see them in the Build option to include in the quote request.
nice review thanks ...
The key design is the worst part about this Q3. It's like a 2010 key
I love my Q3. Its fun & comfortable to drive & I always get compliments on it.
Was that the Rotor grey or black?
Thanks
If you guys wanted this interior , ill go with a mazda for half the price 😂
Great review. Does the Q3 Have the same rear bumper fog lights that the Q5 and Q7 have? I cant tell if its just a dumb reflector strip?
I prefer the X1 than the Q3 but the back seat is nicer

The sliding rear seats provide more boot room

Audi really dropped the ball not offering the q3 in sportback for US market
😊Hi boys, great review, so glad to see the touchpad is not stuck up there on the dash, I feel like I’m at work 😮
Does this 24 Q3 use regular gas?

how does it compare to the new honda crv 2023 ?
It doesn't, the Honda is not a luxury car
Interesting measurement lol 13:44
Guys help me choose, Q3 or X1?
My comparisons below.
Drive/handling: X1
Comfort: Q3 (slightly)
Looks: X1 (I like the more boxy shape)
Mpg: X1
Gas: Audi (can take regular gas)
Dashboard panels: Q3 (I hate all touch screen on X1)
I want to have real buttons on Q3 but hate going to gas station lol...
“Q3 or X3” there you go fixed your comment. Happy NewYear!

You open the windows for a couple of minutes when you get inside. Everyone preaches that.
These are some horrible assumptions
2024 Audi Q3 Premium Plus Quattro AWD S-Line Black Optic Package!
I just bought one! 2024 with the black optics package and S line!
Will you also make a review of the sportback version or a comparison between the Q3 and the Sportback?
We don't have a Q3 Sportback in the U.S. unfortunately
I have this one but 2020 model I have to geta new one 2024, worth the upgrade?
There aren't many significant upgrades so I'd wait until the refreshed model comes out in a year or two
Under 40? I can’t even find an A3 under 45
Good stuff.
Are these prices Canadian pricing or US price list?
U.S prices

Mild hybrid doesn’t improve fuel economy. Look it up!
Yeah you right. Ive Q7 with the mild hybrid. It just the same. Since the car become heavier, the hybrid ended up just carrying the battery & the tech
When will they give us an updated Audi Q5 or an all new one? That’s the one I can’t wait to see
Based on spy shots, it appears that it will come out next year as a 2025 model
@@CarConfections Oh okay 😭 Guess I have to wait a little long lol
I wait for the QRS3
I love how BMW drives, but I don't like the newest X1's looks, too squarish/ boxy, the Q3 looks sleeker and looks great with the blackout addition.
I’ve had my q3 for 3 months now & im completely in love with the car & technology that comes with it. And it’s orange 🍊 😇😇
The interior of This thing needs to get redesigned
AUDI Q3 2024 SPORT BACK SLINE PLEASE!!!
Unfortunately, we don't have the Sportback body style in the U.S
8 speed? is for the american market?
Another great review.... making life difficult (in a good way) to determine whether the Q3 or GLA250. I will let the wife decided as it will be her car.
i cant believe Audi is still using that key, my 2008 audi uses that key!
Está linda la Audi 😍
How much to lease this car for 3 years?
1000th like 👍!!
You guys are great 👍 keep it real 😊
Thank you! Will do!
The doors DO NOT have soft touch. Check again.
Fast zero to 60 acceleration gets you to the next red light quicker...
the cheapest q3 is 55k+ where i live.
I like it, but I think I like the X1 better, mostly from much more cargo space and I think more ground clearance.
ground clearance is same for both
Of course I like Audis but isn’t this essentially a Golf variant?
Volvo xc40 or Audi q3, which shall I go for?
Bring the sport back Q3 to the Us it looks so much like a baby urus
The amount of plastic used really doesn't give me that luxury vibe. It feels like a slight upgrade to my 2020 Hyundai Tuscon Limited (or Luxury as the trim level is called here in Canada).....If I were to upgrade my ride tomorrow I'd pick Genesis GV70 over Audi Q3/5 on any given day.
GV70 also costs a whole lot more. Lets compare apple to apple !!
I dont see that price at my dealerships.......
Do you guys know if Audi is coming out with a 2024 Audi Q5?
They are. Should be coming out pretty soon. It'll be mostly carryover
I LOVE that black optic package! What's included in it?
If audi offered the q3 sportback id be interested, but this design just looks too tame to me
Actually it wasn't changed from 2022 even 2023 style.
Let's see 2024 Tiguan .... more attractive
Oh wow so great 👍 and very beautiful 😍❤️ and very good design with the new 🆕 technology for the new 🆕 generation hument very easy to drive and comfortable ❤.
Why Audi do not add electronic brake hold
That is deal breaker to me 😢
It it available in Europe
The gear stick is really not very good looking
nobody tell me it's a golf R engine is in the 2024 Audi Q3
Look inside a Porsche. Many of the parts are Audi.

Not donuts 😂.
In europe the 45 does 0-100 in 5.8 😁
How?? Do they drive on slopes :D
@@ameet2975 no just engines that are tuned to run on good fuel , not the low octane rubbish you find in the USA
sad it does not have the top down camera. Given its poor gas mileage, I would get the VW taos as they are specd similarly
So none of the Q3s have the dynamic front turn signal or was that just for this one?
Ummm hybrid? Big fail. Come on it’s 2023/24!
We need an electric Q3 sportback… any rumours about it?
This car is too small for that price! If you gonna spend that kinda money you best be buying a Bimmer or a Benz! Then you might just get a taste of scrumptious cakes like mine boo boo!!!!!
