Expert 2024 Audi Q3 review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2024 Audi Q3?

Agile and ideally sized for busy traffic, the Audi Q3 is a five-seat subcompact luxury SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive. It offers a choice of 184- or 228-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, the latter of which has more pep for daily driving and fuel economy that’s close to what you get with the base engine. The Q3’s cabin is nicely finished, and its 8.8-inch touchscreen (or optional 10.1-inch screen) is simple to navigate. Cargo space and rear legroom, however, are less than what you get in many other small luxury SUVs. Competitors include the BMW X1, Lexus UX, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40.

What’s New on the 2024 Audi Q3?

Adaptive cruise control with lane guidance is now standard on all Q3s, and the Convenience Package adds a wireless charging pad and HomeLink functionality that’s built into the rearview mirror.

What Features in the 2024 Audi Q3 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

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

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
  • Wireless charging pad

Should I Buy the 2024 Audi Q3?

The Q3 is an Audi SUV, only smaller. That might sound obvious, but luxury brands sometimes skimp on details when it comes to their less bulky (and less expensive) SUVs. Not here; driving refinement and a nicely designed cabin make sure the Q3 doesn’t feel like a budget ride with a fancy label slapped on its front grille. Cargo space and backseat legroom are acceptable, but rivals (particularly the X1) deliver more of each.

  • I purchased the 2024 Audi Q3 pre-owned and it was in

    I purchased the 2024 Audi Q3 pre-owned and it was in showroom condition. There was an initial issue with the front passenger side door lock but it was promptly repaired under warranty at the Audi Dealer. (I did not purchase it there.) Other than that, I love the ride and handling, the engine is a powerful sucker and amazes me how fast I can jump into moving traffic especially on the Interstate. German engineering is the best and this will definitely not be my last Audi. 5 stars all the way around. My only concern is the road noise, I expected an Audi to be more quiet, but I have gotten used to it.

  • I purchased this vehicle when I traded in my 2021 Acura

    I purchased this vehicle when I traded in my 2021 Acura RDX. I like it because the Audi Q3 is smaller than my Acura. So far, the Audi has been a pleasure to drive. We'll see if I still feel the same way in a year or two. Hope so!

  • I purchased this vehicle preowned.

    I purchased this vehicle preowned. For the price I paid, this vehicle definitely was worth it! As a former Lexus owner, I am accustomed to leather heated seats and other amenities, but I am definitely impressed with the speed in which the vehicle is able to leap into moving traffic on the highway. There is ample legroom for backseat passengers, even while I (at 5'10 ) am driving. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my Audi Q3.

  • I drove as a rental and can't say I'm impressed.

    I drove as a rental and can't say I'm impressed. Like someone mentioned that it's same as Q5 but smaller that's not exactly true. It's on a different platform. I'd say it's better to get highest trim of Taos than lowest or med version of Q3. It's just a fancier Taos but lowest trims still don't have some features highest level of Taos has.

  • My only negative is that the seats are very stiff in

    My only negative is that the seats are very stiff in winter and uncomfortable. Without remote start it takes awhile to warm up. And you cannot leave it to warm up locked. I also find the headrest to be too far back. My favorite features 1st the sound system! I feel like I’m at my own personal concert. In addition to this the Q3 is so quiet so I don’t have to try to hear my audio book above the pot holes, suspension, and trucks around me. 2nd The luxury is in the details. Everything from the indoor running lights you can change, the lift gate level adjustment, the finer details of the wood panels and spacious interior. 3rd The ease of everything. Adaptive cruise, lane assistance, the lift gate opening and closing with just a kick, opening the doors with the key in my pocket, phone charger. 4th The technology. Oh it’s so lovely. Maps, music, customizing every little thing to my own personal preference on the dash and steering wheel. It’s a lovely vehicle. I wanted another small car but fell in love with the Q3. It is smaller so I don’t feel like I’m taking up too much space. I don’t have offspring so it’s more than enough room.

  • Smaller is just as good for Q3

    I was returning at end of lease an Audi Q5, and was interested in leasing another one. The price increase plus interest on a lease for the Q5 was above my budget. I drove the Q3, not thinking that I would like it as much as the Q5. I was wrong. The Q3 is a smaller version on the Q5 with all of the comfort, performance and handling. Everything I liked about the larger car was there in the Q3. I drive the model with the larger engine and the power was apparent. This car has the German handling that I wanted, and the fit and finish is excellent. Going a little smaller was not a dealbreaker and I continue to be very satisfied with my new Q3.
