- The Q3 is Audi's smallest SUV. On the outside you will find 20in wheels, full LED lighting and a forward facing camera. On the inside you will be greeted by a digital gauge cluster, panoramic sunroof and HUD. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

Audi Q3 runs on regular gas while the BMW X1 and MB GLA both require premium gas.
shit, didn't know that, welp, that's enough for me!
True but it should be noted that per the manual to achieve advertised power figures, 91 oct or higher is recommended
If you choose to use 87 octane, you'll have injector and emissions system issues.
@@varcade8where did you get this from?
@@KGerrell27 not true. I have a 2022 45 TFSI and runs on regular
Audi styling has always been a favorite of mine. Looks attractive and clean. Next up bring the rsq3 to the states please!
This model is terribly boring with a 50k price tag....
@@DUNGSTA Trust me, it's more entertaining than a Honda CRV Hybrid or a Honda Pilot or Passport which can be in 45 to 50K. The only thing it's truly missing is Ventilated seats. If you test drive one of these for a good 15 mins, you'll be sold. I'm on my 2nd Audi (A6 this time), and looking to turn it in for an Suv. In last three weeks I've reviewed every Small and Midsize Suv and although this is on the smaller size of most, the fun factor and styling and features is all there on this Q3, atleast on the 45 Premium Plus Q3
Merry Christmas Lori and Joe thank you for all your hard work this year. Some amazing car reviews and many laughs!
Joe, thank you for a great show. Beautiful body styling with the exception of the fake vents, the excellent dash board styling could and should serve as an example to other brands. Without expensive packages this might be a satisfying purchase. I really like it.
I drive a Q8 and we just bought my wife a Q3. For the price, we love it and added bonus that it runs in regular, not premium.
Merry Christmas Joe and Lori! Thanks for the great content.
Great stuff Joe! Nice SUV! Love the color! Thanks for bringing it to us.
Thank you for another awesome review. I just love watching you review cars, you're amazing and they're fun! Onwards to 1million subscribers in no time!!!!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real true and I love the video 👍 merry Christmas to you guys 💯💯💯💯
You are on a roll with the car reviews!👍🏻
I like it ! 👍. Merry Christmas Raiti’s All the best in 2023…..and 1million subs plus !!!
Merry Christmas Joe & thank you for the reviews!
Merry Christmas!! Perfect color spec for the 🎄occasion.
Probably better than the current X1, but the new upcoming redone X1 will be a lot better! They do make an RSQ3, both normal and Sportback. I really wish Audi USA would give us both of them!!
Merry Christmas Joe an Lori!!! I’m excited for the review but most importantly have a safe and fun day.
Same to you my friend!
@@RaitisRides Thank you Joe.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Here's to more rides, more zonks, and we're moving on throttle into 2023!!
Great interior with a sporty performance without losing the practicality.
😂
We bought my wife one beginning of the year. We loved it and when my A4 was totaled this summer we bought a second one.
good cvhoiçe
My mother owns one of these, she absolutely loves it
This will be my first vehicle! Nice job Joe.
Another great review,
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you my friend. Same to you and yours!
Joe,I’m digging this q3. Awesome job you two for being the best in the biz.

I like this ride especially the room in the back and the technology but I have to Zonk the key fob from my '16 GLI and Tiguan R line 😊
Really good and to the point video dude.
Merry Christmas to the Raiti’s Ride team giving us the business today giving me something while I wait for the family pot of gumbo to be finish. Thanks 🤜🤛
I have a 2022 Q3 that I've had for about a year now and absolutely love it. The only thing I do think they could really improve a bit is the MPG for as small as this vehicle is it doesn't get good gas mileage. I've gotten Q5 loaner vehicles that get better MPGs than my Q3. I really wish Audi would bring the Q3 Sportback to the states as well.
My mom has a 2019 Q5. She was looking at a Q3, but the gas mileage is what convinced her to get the 5 instead.
You need to look at the overall cost and not just the consumption of gas. Regular gas for Q3 and Premium gas required for Q5.

That’s strange, how much do you get on your q3? I get 35 while driving super conservatively at around 70
The fuel economy, or lack of it was one of the things putting me off the Q3, but fortunately in the UK we have diesel models too. I bought a 2022 40 TDI, which makes 200 ponies and 400 torques, 0-60 in 7.0 seconds and does 45mpg urban ...and I love it.
I am 16 and got the model q3 2022 last year when I got my permit. Quite the cute and luxurious car. I get my license mid-February. I highly recommend this car as it drives very smoothly.
I have the s-line 2022, navy exterior, brown leather interior, LED lights

Merry Christmas Joe and Lori
Love me some Audi. Great review as always
I agree the red works surprisingly well on this thing. Not so much as it’s how I’d go but not the mismatch it is on most SUVs. An issue here is you can pretty easily get a Q5 for that same $.
You both have so nice energy I believe for everytime
great showcase! thank you!
You are so very welcome!
Merry Christmas Joe and Lori stay safe at least there's no CVT in an Audi!
Thanks, I looked at one today. Will likely buy next week.
That is really awesome Larry!
Had accidentally rented this on a recent trip to Yellowstone (supposed to have gotten a RAV4 but this was all the rental place had). Very fun to drive. Only gripe is limited trunk space, but otherwise good vehicle.

You are right. The fake front vents are a bummer and fog lights would of made the front end better. The wheels are nice .The rear was sad to see no dual exhaust. The interior was nice.
Merry Christmas mr.Raiti
Joe this Q3 is styled well for sure. However [Mr. Lichte] I do agree "Black Optics" should include black in the headlights, Vents should never be NON-Functional & Those Audi Doughnuts on the front Grille and rear liftgate should've been blacked out as well. Great job as always! Twinkies are the best reference for storage!!

Gracias mi amigo! feliz Navidad!
Joe and Lori…seems like a great performer…What’s with the fake vents ,lack of heads up display and disc player? Does everyone except the older folks stream their music? Great color and great job to you both…loved your December wrap up show!
Disc player? 🤣 go back to 2007
@@kevs2good133 you seem like you're having a good time
Loving the POV drive style.
Thanks for taking the time to say that
@@RaitisRides Ofc! Little changes like that make a big difference and we appreciate your hard work! Both you and your wife 👍
Happy Holidays Joe and Lori! When can we expect a review of the 2023 BMW X3 M40i
buy it
Test-drove 2023 X1 today... Excellent vehicle overall except hard plastic rear-door panels and the Q3-like invisible exhaust... X1 does have the heads-up display that Raiti wants... And much better mpg (28 city, 34 hwy)
Thanks for sharing that experience with us!
I agree with you, there should have been fog lights in those fake vents.
Agree that it should offer a little more power at this price point, or offer a better engine.
Lol... I like the way you discussed the front side fake vent....lol
Thanks Rafael!
how many boxes of Nerds (Double-flavor box) can you fit in the passenger rear door pocket?
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Joe
Merry Christmas 🎅 Joe and Lori to all the viewers as well.
Joe & Lori, nice review. Question from a Michigander...... Heated steering wheel by chance??
Great video! I was all ready to purchase one of these until you brought up the chefs in the backseat. I always want to feel comfortable picking up people wielding knives off the side of the road and would be too concerned about them damaging my seat pockets.
Very nice suv, the door handles look like jammed in golf clubs tho. All in all, cheaper than I expected. Great review 👏 👌🏾. Sticking with lexus RX
rx hybride best
How would you compare it to the VW Tiguan sel r-line ???
I found the Q3 to be underpowered, and GLA to have too much turbo lag. The redesigned X1 is more responsive.
Reminds me of those Honda Accord Crosstours.
I have always been an Audi man, but I have ordered the new X1 (iX1 actually) because it looks sooo good.
How do you like your new X1? I am debating between Q3 and X1. I have a 2018 X1 and love it.
@@marinasmith4772 really like it. I think it’s a big upgrade compared to the previous X1, it now really feels like a premium car. In the end however, BMW and Audi are comparable I think. Before this X1 I had an 2020 Audi A4 and that was great too. So you should decide based on which you personally like the most.
@@MM-tt7hy Thank you! Do you mind the lack of knobs and a dial to control the sound system? That is my main concern.
@@marinasmith4772 not really, but that too is very personal. In the Audi I only used the steering wheel buttons even though it had a wheel (that was my 2018 A3, the 2020 A4 also only had touch screen). Now on the BMW I have the HUD, and that combined with the steering wheel buttons is all I need. I can switch between audio sources and radio channels/songs. That’s all I need personally.
such a nice little car but that price is too high for what you get
Thanks Joe, really nice styling and great color. I love how Audi is integrating the infotainment screen into the dashboard, while still retaining the manual climate controls and buttons for heated seats, etc.
I am glad that I can share it with you Jim!
how come there's no review of the 2023 BMW X1 (U11) yet? I only trust Raiti's reviews and can't wait! Thanks in advance! :)
That is crazy that new Nissan Maxima you recently reviewed is the same price basically wow this Audi not over priced but i would have liked to see remote start.
So have a 2019 and a passenger commented on how the car does not throw you around while spirited driving in corners. And it feels light so the motor feels strong enough. Just doesn’t sound very good
Yes!
Fake vents and rear wipers that aren't tucked away under the spoiler NEED to be zonked!
Merry Christmas to the Raiti’s Rides family!

Same to you and yours stanley!
Earlier Q3's had foglights in the vent space. I know because I owned one.
Merry Christmas to the Raiti's Rides Family!
Just bought one. For me was the best combination of size, features and comfort. I didn't get a Q5 cos I don't want a Q5, duh ! Q5 won't fit in my garage, and it takes premium fuel (not regular) LIKE Q3. Also Q5 doesn't have nice monitor built in dash which is my favorite feature. There's nothing wrong with the engine, the car just weighs too much. 3900 lbs !!!!!. I wish they could knock off about 400lbs. That would improve everything.
Audi still has some of the best interiors . Even the base models come well equipped
Amazing style, love the color. Just make sure you sell it before the warranty expires!🤣😂
JJ ~ HAPPY HOLIDAYS to Lori & You. my pick ? hmmm . . . Mercedes GLA fully loaded > LOVE, tony
A couple of comments: You get more oomph with the S-line, about 40 more horses. Panoramic sunroof is standard on ALL Q3s. Also there is a Q8 (beyond a Q7) but not sure which is dimensionally bigger, but the Q8 is more expensive.
Thanks for all of that great input Jose!
Santa Raiti can I please have a 2023 Lincoln Navigator review please? I've been good all year 😌

Now, this is a beaut. However, I prefer a silver colored exterior with brushed aluminum interior trimming,
and Hall & Oates and/or Dave Matthews Band cdS.
Merry Christmas to all! Here's to 1 million subs within next 2-3 months!
Hey Joe…Buon Natale !
I wish yptu could try here in Mexico another brand from the VW group called SEAT Ateca 4drive, with aboutbthe same features as that audi with bigger back seat space , DSG transmisión, 1.4 turbo 150hp, aluminim padless,for half of the price!!
No launch control?
I would recommend anyone who is thinking about Q3 to go and have a test drive and real
check of the interior space. To me Q3 is a squeezed version of Q5 and may not be preferred by anyone over a petite build.
Put some more $$ and get Q5 instead 👍🏼
Q3 sound more of a fun ride for college graduates 😉😄
I disagree. I wanted to buy an X3 (G01) but didn't found a well equiped model in a fair price range. the interior design of the X3 (pre lci) and mmi also felt pretty outdated.
Same goes for the current Q5 with that huge tablet tucked in the middle of the dashboard😂
So i tried this new Q3. Me and my girlfriend where surprised how spaceous the car felt in the front for a "compact suv". We end up buying this because if you are not fat or overly overweight you don't need more room. The Q5/X3 is bigger but more in the back side not a huge different on the front to be honest
@@DerHalbeEuro along with “fat and overly weight”, another parameter is height. In Q3 the leg space is not that much and felt like cramped. Personal view 👍🏼
Enjoy the Q3, is a cute and beautiful ride 🚙
@@snape57 Try too lose some weight ✌️the car is good enough for me
People who buy these cars with cargo nets behind the seats are definitely going to put sharp objects in them. They just want to tear them up so they can't store anything else in there. You make a good point Joe.
😂 👏🏼
Quattro is Italian for 4 and Audi means to listen in Latin named by August Horch ,very nice suv and yes the fake vent gets a zonk lol
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Hey Joe, is the VW Taos based on this Audi Q3?🤔

Joe what is Scotty Kilmer's thought on this one we all want to know.Endless💲Pit or Unreliable at any Speed😎
They do make an RSQ3 but sadly they don’t import it in the US
Out Premium plus with Tech package has fog lights
Thanks for that heads up!
This is a great looking car. a little slower to 60 than the new Prius, but none the less a nice car.
Yeah, but the big disadvantage with the Prius is … you have to say you own a Prius 🤮
@@genxtechguy Prius is fun to drive
The big disadvantage with this is you have to say you own a dressed up VW.
@@markchopping well, that is true, but it’s worse to say you own a Prius, which ranks just above … I own a Yugo. So many other cars out there to chose from.
@@genxtechguy the new Prius at least looks like a huge improvement. Although that’s not saying much.
We need the SQ3 in this country. Like a Macan but cheaper
Only thing about Audi is the options can get ridiculous in comparison to others like BMW. No head up display is a zonk at 50k. Why the Germans don’t offer vented seats in all models is beyond me. No remote start also a zonk. Why they haven’t offered an SQ3 is also a head-scratcher…the engine is fairly anemic and should offer something else like they do in every other model.
I agre with you fog lingts will be nice down there. I wanna get one off this suv😅😅
i do think its better now that i watched this video.
It’s a cute car🥰!
They do make an RS Q3. But we don’t get it in the USA 😢😢😢
I agree with you 😅
Great minds think a like!
When a feature is an extra cost option, that should be mentioned.
Great feedback!
