Expert 2022 Audi Q3 review

our expert's take

What Is the 2022 Audi Q3?

The Audi Q3 is a five-seat subcompact luxury SUV powered by a 184- or 228-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rival small luxury SUVs include the Lexus UX, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.

What’s New on the 2022 Audi Q3?

The Q3 gets an updated multimedia system, and new standard safety features include blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert. 

What Features in the 2022 Audi Q3 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • All-wheel drive
  • 8.8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Tri-zone climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane departure warning
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Keyless access with push-button start
  • Audi Virtual Cockpit with 12.3-inch display
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Navigation
  • 360-degree camera system 
  • Adaptive cruise control

Should I Buy the 2022 Audi Q3?

The Q3 is an agile and refined subcompact SUV that delivers much of the luxury trimmings of a larger model in a smaller, more maneuverable package. It’s stable and poised and offers good comfort in its front and rear seats. Gas mileage is disappointing, however, and some shoppers might find the ride too firm with the available 19-inch wheels.

I love my car!

I usually lease my cars. I loved this one so much, I bought it. My only issue is that it was recalled 4 months after I purchased it. Sue to the supply chain issues, it took nearly 4 months for the parts to fix it. I did have a loaner for the 4 months, but it was disappointing. I love the car and would purchase again.
