The Audi Q3 is finally back in Australian showrooms with an all-new model after a 12-month absence.
There's a lot riding on the success of the all-new Audi Q3, the compact SUV that has become one of the German brand's best-selling vehicles.
As a loud and proud Queenslander, each year I look forward to heading home for some much needed rest and relaxation over the Christmas break. With family scattered across the south-east corner of the Sunshine State, I prefer to drive the 800km north so that I can trek around and visit relatives and friends at my own convenience...
The Q3 always impresses, although it now has significant competition in the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Pricing can creep up quickly with options too, so the Q3 needs to continue to deliver to stay competitive.
Read the article here. Genuine car accessories are big business for manufacturers and one of the quirkiest car accompaniments out there at the moment is the Audi camping tent. Designed to attach around the tailgate of the Q3, Q5 or Q7, the tent sleeps three and comes in a bag barely bigger than a carry-on case. It weighs just over 13kg...
The Audi Q3 has commanded a staggering 50 per cent share of the small premium SUV segment for the first half of this year, its sales totalling a full 72 per cent more than arch-rival the BMW X1. It’s the Audi, then, that is the biggest rival to the brand new Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and the stalwart it must beat here (although we also requested an X1 to no avail) for the title of Australia’s best small premium SUV...
ANCAP has awarded five-star safety ratings for the all-new Audi Q3 and Toyota Granvia, with both vehicles hitting local showrooms this month. The headlining act is Toyota's new people mover, which is the first model in its segment to achieve a five-star result against the crash-testing firm's "latest, most stringent protocols"...

Audi has revealed pricing and specs for the 2020 Q3, which goes head-to-head with the Lexus UX and Volvo XC40 in the fast-growing compact luxury SUV class. Compared to the car it replaces, the new Q3 is a significantly bigger and higher-tech proposition. Two models will be offered, both powered by the same 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 110kW and 250Nm...
An Audi Q3 prototype believed to be a plug-in hybrid variant has been spied testing in sunny Europe this week, previewing the first electrified variant of the company's new-generation SUV. Likely to be dubbed 'TFSI e', as is Audi's new name structure for its plug-in hybrid models, the Q3 PHEV is expected to pair a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack – good for around 50km of electric driving on the WLTP cycle...
My opinion/review is based on performance mainly. I personally don't see a car as an entertainment centre, although there are some things I do look for regarding music etc. My biggest disappointment is the frequent erratic take-offs. Sometimes, bordering on often, it's just way too slow to accelerate from stationary...
I've bought it as an offer after quoting a VW Tiguan. It was a very good choice. It rides smoth in town, with an avg 6.5km/l consumption, and on the road it reaches amazing 13 km/l when not forced beyond 120km/h. When you need power, to pass other vehicles, or climbing a hill, the torque responds with no complains...
Love my Audi Q3, amazing fuel economy (diesel). Drives beautifully, and corners the road, plenty of get up and go. Perfect for my bad back a I dont have to get up into it nor get down low. The diesel is a bit sluggish at times át slow speeds taking off, compared to petrol, however the pay off for fuel savings is worth it...
