Having driven the Q3 35 TFSI, 40 TFSI and 45 TFSIe I must say I disagree on the gearbox / engine lag. The 35 TFSI wasn’t terribly pleasant, the lag was awful when trying to drive out of busy junctions. The 40 TFSI doesn’t suffer from this at all. Obviously the 45 TFSIe had instant power due to the hybrid power train but I’m genuinely confused by all the reviews that said the 40 TFSI and standard 45 TFSI offered no benefit. I test drove quite a few before settling on the 40 TFSI as a good mix of performance, quicker power delivery and cost.
16 minutes of pointless waffle. The car is already redundant compared to almost all EV's. Will lose value at an increasing rate as EV and auto-driving become ubiquitous. In 5 years' time, it's trade-in and resale value will be close to zero. You may even have to pay someone to cart it away for you. Audi make good, strong cars (I have owned Audi A4 and A3 in the past, and loved them) - but there is no future for this sort of vehicle. The fundamental technology (ICE) is in its death throes, so even the most innovative cup-holder won't save it. Anyone buying this sort of car now, will be investing in a non-returning asset. A costly - and therefore pointless - "investment".
124 words of pointless waffle! The reality is that EVs are NOT going to replace fossil cars in the next 3-5 years. Yes they will continue to increase penetration in the new car market (which isn't difficult from the current 1% level), but if they make 20% by eg 2023 then they'll be doing well. So ICE residuals are absolutely not going to fall off a cliff. Just make sure that you get 10% discount if buying new or else buy one PCP/PCH as most people will and lock in an agreed level of depreciation. Oh and sad to say that's one of the most boring WC reviews I've seen. Doesn't begin to sum up the new Q3. Personally I need an SQ3 before I buy one but other than that it's a competitive product.
Just came across your comments a year later and they are as pointless now as they were back then. EV’a just don’t make economic sense for a lot of people due to the ridiculous cost of them, and seem to be depreciating just as much as their ICE counterparts. And most PCP plans offer a guaranteed future value for your car so saying they will be worthless is ridiculous.
Good video. Thank god you avoided the ‘water bottle in the door bin test’ that every other channel thinks is how people choose to spend £1000s on a new car!
Bought it last week. What a dream car! Very smooth and light to drive, very quite inside and plenty of room. I wanted to buy the X3 but couldn't find a descent equiped (facelift) model so i spend only 24.000€ to a 3 years old almost fully equiped Q3 leasing return car with almost new condition. And WOW, i must admit Audi is technically so much more advanced than BMW. The car is much better than i expect. Feels much premium than my old F31 3 series
I have a tiguan and I use most of the crafty storage solutions, I think it's user preference, I rather have them and not use than need them and not have.
I am not understanding Audi's digital cluster. The default is not fully functional but a barebone system that looks NOTHING like virtual cockpit. Then you have a hefty upgrade to a virtual cockpit, which once again is not the real deal, then you need to spend MORE to get the fully functional and adaptive virtual cockpit. Same with the centre console on the German configurator you can actually buy an Q3 with a HOLE in the middle then is the 8" option, 10" and lastly 12 inch. It is VERY confusing and there is no, brochure, site, location where you can see what you are actually buying as none of the options are illustrated correctly. If you know of "a" place would be grateful if you could share.
I know there is no such thing as a stubid question..But how can something be both shallow & deep..to the best of my knowledge shallow is the opposite of deep according to the Oxford English Dictionary
I rented one and I'm 6ft. I felt it was small. My head was pretty close to the roof and the seat wouldn't go any lower. It feels like it was made for a female.
Wrong!! . The bigger cockpit is not an option as is many other options Inc wireless charging . Only the edition 1 and vorsprung models have the 12.3 inch display and many options not available whatsoever on models below that ... Get in right
I’ve had my 2020 Audi for about a month now and has been in the shop twice...not a happy camper...Bluetooth wasn’t working properly...had to put a whole new module, the MMI screen was giving me problems too...I went from a fully loaded 2014 Chevy impala to what I thought was a higher grade 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ if I could I would have never made that change...something I will regret for the rest of my life!
Yeah but size and price wise the Q3 is equivalent to the X1! We test drove both and even as a long time BMW driver we bought the Q3. The XC40 is compelling but didn’t win us over, X1 was great but looked staid next to the Q3. The other real contender was the countryman Cooper S which (as a smaller car) meant it was quite a bit cheaper than the Q3 but the ride was too darty for an SUV and just that little bit too small as a family car for 4 for long journeys with luggage.
Back is good looking.... front and sides are horrendous in comparison, it’s like some child has drawn some lines on the side, especially. Opportunity missed.
Don’t the A3 gets released same time as the Q3 ? I’m waiting for the new facelift of the Audi A3 but not sure when it’s available to order or even the month it gets released .
Truely feel this is the category where Volvo simply is better than the Germans. When all the competition is four cylinders and fwd based, Volvo will dominate.
But still sells more right! Except off-roading it is better in every way, and is relatively reliable than Land Rover products. You can find more Q3s on road than Evoque
Land Rover’s unreliability record (where they finish last in every single customer survey every year) speaks for itself. Evoque not an option when you take that into account.
Family SUV?? Where? In munchkin land?? Thanks god I live in a country where human beings can drive in comfort. This is a car for a college student not a family.
It's an expensive Tiguan! That looks like it's had a fight in Halfords! "There are some scratchy plastics like you'd expect to find on a VW" Well yeah that's because it is a VW!

"Glovebox is a little bit shallow but quite deep" mmmm Ok
Hahaha, yes, got that one too.
Going to have to do spot the difference soon on Audis!
have you tested 35 tfsi version with mild hybrid? that reduces the lag time
Hope so I'm getting mine late April! 👍🏴
Volvo xc40 is better... love the interior tho 👌
premium??
❤🚘❤🚘❤🚘❤🚘
Another snoozefest from Audi!

This comment didn’t age well 😂
The gearbox is nowhere near as bad as you say.
its so pretty from the front

I have a Q3 2022 with a few extra packs , it’s an amazing car. I find Volvo so ugly inside , people always comment how nice the Q3 is as a passenger.
Strange that no reviewer talks about the default driver and blind-spot assist
Great review. The BMW X1’s automatic transmission is amazing. Really responsive in every driving scenario.
This video is not about the X1 (F48) it's about the Q3 (F3). You can go to your outdated BMW lol
Side storage trays are in every Tiguan (which l have) golf plus, and sportsvan. They are utterly useless.
I have a tiguan and I use most of the crafty storage solutions, I think it's user preference, I rather have them and not use than need them and not have.

Never any mention of fuel tank capacity?!...
this is what Q7 should looks like.
Not another Audi
Is it okay for people over 6ft? No one seems to do a review on that.
I rented one and I'm 6ft. I felt it was small. My head was pretty close to the roof and the seat wouldn't go any lower. It feels like it was made for a female.
I’m 6.2 and have a 2022 model there is lots of room
I want to see a review-off between Carwow and these guys which are clearly operating under the same marketing style
Is this car good for someone who's tall perhaps say 6ft 5?
My dad owns this car and is 6ft4. He fits in easily
6ft 3.5 (barefoot) and I’m all good with it, if that helps?
Mentioning the xc40 well to much on a normal review of a audi u referred back to the xc40 a hell of alot instead of focusing on the audi itself
Wrong!! . The bigger cockpit is not an option as is many other options Inc wireless charging . Only the edition 1 and vorsprung models have the 12.3 inch display and many options not available whatsoever on models below that ... Get in right
"A little bit shallow but quite deep" hmmmm bit of an oximoron there me thinks !!
You want wheels?
Guess what! It's an option...
Standard on sline
No sunroof no like.

I got a feelinh he drove it in comfort dynamic sharpens up the change
this is what Q7 should looks like.
No driver seat memory? How about head up display?
How sure r u? I need to know if its possible to get memory seats and head up display, plz find me the link you u know.
@@rajbrar9358 They're both in Tiguan. I believe Audi fans can get everything a Tiguan is ready to offer.
I know Tiguan is from the same platform but still it's a different brand.
Audi is Audi.
I'd still take the new X3 over this, thanks
Neil Visarra I’d have a X3 over a Q5, but I’d rather have a Q3 over a X1

BobMahal I totally agree. I’ve ended up getting a Volvo XC40 R-Design Pro...
Even though I ordered it in February and it isn’t coming until July!
7:44 is that a iPhone 6?
Matt Garcya no that’s an SE/ 5s / 5 one of these probably SE
How come you make a 16 minutes video about a car but don't show it from the side even ones ?
How the Audi Q3 really looks like remains a mystery ...
Back is good looking.... front and sides are horrendous in comparison, it’s like some child has drawn some lines on the side, especially. Opportunity missed.
Audi is making some killing interior and head light, tail light.
No Lexus NX?
You forgot to say about the storage space under the wheel next to driver door!
Don’t the A3 gets released same time as the Q3 ? I’m waiting for the new facelift of the Audi A3 but not sure when it’s available to order or even the month it gets released .
no, the A3 will be released in march. Based on the new Golf 8!
it aint push to start? Why does Audi do this lol
They do it for safety that's what the people at audi said.
🤮 rather have a key
Truely feel this is the category where Volvo simply is better than the Germans. When all the competition is four cylinders and fwd based, Volvo will dominate.
It's trying to catch up with the new Evoque. It's nowhere near.
But still sells more right! Except off-roading it is better in every way, and is relatively reliable than Land Rover products. You can find more Q3s on road than Evoque
Land Rover’s unreliability record (where they finish last in every single customer survey every year) speaks for itself. Evoque not an option when you take that into account.
Why you didn't taste the 2L from the begining???. This is the car that can bit every car in this segment.
The original Q3 looks like an ugly bloated Audi with the mumps
Family SUV?? Where? In munchkin land??
Thanks god I live in a country where human beings can drive in comfort.
This is a car for a college student not a family.
not until comes the Mercedes-Benz GLB (:P
Is the automatic gearbox as bad when it is in sport mode?
0-100 9.2secs??? that's the deal breaker. Way too slow. Previous Q3 with 1.4 was around 8secs something.
actually in sport mode is around 8.5, plus that engine is very well known, a simple repro gives you +~20hp and you could rech ~8.2s. Not bad at all.
The Q7 will look like this soon
When is the release date? 👊🏼
#Audi
#diesel-gate
Premium 😂😂😂😂
this is what Q7 should looks like.
It's an expensive Tiguan! That looks like it's had a fight in Halfords!
"There are some scratchy plastics like you'd expect to find on a VW" Well yeah that's because it is a VW!
How about kia e niro?
He said premium not Kia
