The Audi Q3, a subcompact crossover, made its debut for 2015. For 2020, the Q3 carries over mostly unchanged. It goes up against rivals like the Volvo XC40 and BMW X1.
The Q3 features athletic and confident styling, with a wide and tall grille, strong shoulders and haunches, and LED taillights.
Every Q3 gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine good for 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) come standard. Fuel economy checks in at 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined.
The Q3 is available in Premium and Premium Plus trims, and an S Line variant for each with styling upgrades. There is also a Prestige S Line trim. The Premium features leather upholstery, remote start, heated and power-adjustable front seats, reclining rear seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Premium Plus adds a hands-free power liftgate.
An infotainment system with an 8.8-inch touchscreen comes standard in the Premium trim, along with Bluetooth, a 10-speaker audio system, HD Radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Satellite radio is an option on this trim. It comes standard on Premium Plus, along with wireless device charging. You can add a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and the Navigation package, which includes navigation, Audi’s customizable Virtual Cockpit, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. All of these features are included with the Prestige S Line trim.
The 2020 Audi Q3 hasn’t been evaluated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). A reversing camera comes standard, along with Audi pre sense basic, which prepares the vehicle in cases of an imminent collision, and Audi pre sense front, which consists of forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection. Buyers can add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist, and front and rear parking sensors.
The Q3 faces a tough battle in a popular yet crowded segment, but it has the characteristics it needs to be a winner.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the 2020 Audi Q3 for its smooth ride, high-tech features, and solid build quality. Many enjoyed the all-wheel drive and the luxurious feel of leather and wood interiors. However, some felt cramped inside compared to larger models, and noted a lack of certain features like wireless charging and the clarity of the camera. Some also mentioned that the gas mileage could be better."
The Audi Q3 is a great car. It’s not as roomy as a true SUV but it has most of the upgrades I was looking for: all wheel drive, digital dash board, touch screen, several different driving modes, sun roof. What it’s missing: the panels are plastic, passenger seat is manual, doesn’t have the wireless charging station, the camera isn’t as clear as I would like. The sports package for the Q3 Quattro is worth the upgrade.
March 25, 2023The car is amazing and it’s a much smaller version of the Q5. Personally I felt cramped inside and will be purchasing the Q5 instead.
February 20, 2022Smooth drive. Solid doors. AC works great . Good gas mileage. Love the colour.

April 24, 2023Beautiful, responsive, smooth ride, lots of standard equipment, high tech.
August 6, 2020Pros: Fun to drive real leather and wood feels solid tech a little hard to use ( I am technologically challenged ) but not too many buttons fun Audi rings when door opens - roomy enough for a 5’ woman - I like the hydraulic. Arm rest and large panoramic sunroof - broad. Visibility and good safety features and blind spot warning cons - a little too punchy( like staccato ) on the start has decent power - gas mileage isn’t great ( 22-27) I don’t like the outside mirrors Don’t fold -front arm rest not enough room for two people sharing - harder suspension than anticipated ( even with comfort setting ) overall I’d say the car is 8/10 worth a.
