How much does the 2019 Audi Q3 cost?

Prices have softened 3.21% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 751 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

If you find a listing below $18,229.75, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2019 Audi Q3 a good car?

Generally — 4.33/5 from owners and 8.17/10 from our experts, the 2019 Audi Q3 fits you well if you want a subcompact luxury SUV that emphasizes refinement, composed handling, and a strong technology focus. The overview points to an upscale interior and a more substantial feel than before, while also noting the usual tradeoffs in this class: limited cargo and backseat space, plus performance that is less than thrilling.

The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.

That makes the Q3 especially appealing if you value a polished cabin and everyday usability more than maximum space or sporty acceleration. 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Audi Q3 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.33/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview describes the 2019 Q3 as a more compelling and less compromised version of the previous model, which is a good sign if you want a used luxury SUV that feels thoughtfully improved. The expert notes also point to composed handling, solid acceleration for daily driving, and a drivetrain that delivers enough torque to avoid feeling strained in normal use.

The performance writeup says the Q3’s torque is great and that it provides solid acceleration, while the cost-effectiveness commentary emphasizes that the car blends upscale daily-driver manners with confidence behind the wheel. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a premium SUV like this can become expensive if prior maintenance or wear items were neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Audi Q3?

At 70.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the cabin electronics and driver-assistance features work as intended, since this model leans heavily on technology.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Premium comes with a fully digital instrument panel, a panoramic moonroof, Audi’s MMI infotainment system, full leather upholstery, heated front seats, and standard safety equipment that includes blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning. The Premium Plus adds full LED automatic headlights, wireless charging, and power adjustment for both front seats, while the Prestige adds more advanced tech and driver-assistance features. The base trim is already well equipped, but the higher trims add the convenience and tech upgrades that many luxury shoppers will want.
• Powertrain: A 2-liter turbocharged I4 with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque powers all trims, paired with an 8-speed automatic and Quattro all-wheel drive. The Q3 delivers solid acceleration and enough torque for everyday driving, with drive modes that include Auto, Dynamic, Individual, Off-Road, and Comfort.
• Safety package: Audi calls its standard driver-assistance suite Pre Sense City and Pre Sense Basic. Standard features include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning. The Prestige adds a fuller set of driver-assistance features, including more advanced highway-cruising aids and a surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: The standard touchscreen is 8.8 inches, and the top trim uses a 10.1-inch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless device charging comes on the Premium Plus, and wireless Apple CarPlay is included on the Prestige.
• Fuel efficiency: The Q3 is rated at 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.

Which 2019 Audi Q3 trim should I buy?

The 2019 Audi Q3 is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the value play if you want the core Q3 experience without stretching your budget. You still get the digital instrument panel, panoramic moonroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and the standard safety and infotainment setup, so it covers the essentials well.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful convenience and tech upgrades, including full LED headlights, wireless charging, and power adjustment for both front seats. If you want a nicer daily driver without jumping to the top trim, this is the one to target.
• Prestige: Choose this if you want the most advanced tech and driver-assistance content, including the upgraded MMI system, virtual cockpit, navigation, additional parking-camera views, and more premium convenience features. It is the right pick if you care most about the Q3’s technology story.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, while the Prestige adds the fullest set of driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Audi Q3?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 751 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.21% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $18,229.75, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Audi Q3's resale value?

The current average of $19,186 sits slightly below last year's $19,824.

That kind of softening can work against you if you buy at the wrong price, but it also means the market is giving you a little more room to negotiate now. If you plan to sell later, a well-kept Q3 should still benefit from its upscale image, strong tech appeal, and broad shopper interest in compact luxury SUVs.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.33/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Audi Q3 safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes the full array of front- and side-impact airbags, traction control, and a reversing camera. The Q3 also comes standard with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning under Audi’s Pre Sense City and Pre Sense Basic systems.

The Prestige trim adds a fuller driver-assistance package, including more advanced highway-cruising aids and a surround-view camera system. That said, the safety story is strongest on the higher trims, so you should pay close attention to which version you are considering if those features matter to you.

Should I buy a 2019 Audi Q3 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 70.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.21% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 Q3 stands out for feeling more substantial than before while pairing an upscale interior with Audi’s latest technology.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of refinement, tech, and current-feeling design in this generation, the 2019 is the one to focus on. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can still shop the market carefully and look for a well-kept example near the lower end of the range, but the 2019 remains the better all-around target if you want the most polished version of this Q3.
