2021 Audi Q3 Review // The best value premium SUV

#AudiQ3
#Q3
#Audi
The Audi Q3 is all-new and the best value for your luxury SUV dollar. Just like the last Q3, this new model shares components with the VW Tiguan but with one major difference. This new 2021 Audi Q3 shares the same MQB platform used on the short wheelbase Tigaun sold in Europe but not here in North America. In addition, Audi uses the 228hp 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine used by Vw in the GTI. The up side to this engine is that it runs on regular gas unlike the competition. This Q3 is sold with three basic packages and can be equipped with the Black Optics Package for a black grille and window treatment. The inside is equipped with a standard 8.8-inch display audio system or what Audi calls MMI Touch. There is a larger 10.1-inch display audio system and also a 12.3-inch digital cockpit. Even the base Q3 premium SUV comes with a digital dashboard but it is slightly smaller. The new Q3 luxury SUV is larger than the last model with plenty of room in the back seat and a useful cargo area but the biggest improvement is the more powerful engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, standard AWD and good handling. For this that wish we could get the short wheelbase Tiguan here in North America, this is basically it and it comes with more power and more standard features.

I highly recommend the Q3. I bought one in the US market in 2020 and went with the top package, sport interior, and speaker system and I have had 0 regrets with the vehicle thus far. Fun to drive, comfortable, and I love the full digital dash and having Google Earth/Maps display on it. I had a Subaru Outback before it, and while the Q3 is definitely smaller inside, it's a much more enjoyable experience to drive it.

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kbmastiffs]

How does the cost of Premium gas play into your review? I’m in Virginia.

[@whatta7793]

@@kbmastiffs I could be mistaken, I've just recently started looking into these myself recently. I'm also in Vrginia, lol. However, I think the "40 TFSI" only requires 87 octane, whereas the "45 TFSI" requires 91 minimum. Being that the original commenter said he has the top of the line trim, he would indeed be using 91+, but you can still get all of the quirks and features on the 40 TFSI too, and only have to use 87. When you go on the Audi website to build a Q3, you will see there is a Premium and Premium Plus, each one of them have 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI available. If you click the information on each of those, the 45 makes a little more horsepower. It has a different tune, the turbo is pushing more boost, requiring higher octane fuel. You can get all of the luxuries with the 40 TFSI though, and only have to use 87 octane! These look like pretty sweet cars for the dollar, currently looking at a few used ones around $30-34k, myself.

You are the best car reviewers I have found in a field full of frat house silliness. I really appreciate your clarity and calm demeanors. I currently have a Mazda CX-3 and am considering my options for an upgrade. I am considering either sticking with Mazda, a brand I really love, and upgrading to a CX-30 or CX-5, or trading up entirely to an Audi Q3 or Q5. I like how your review twice mentions Mazda as a mainstream option that compares favorably to Audi. I don't know what I will eventually decide, but it's nice to know I am thinking along the same lines as you. Thanks for this great information.

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for the kind words, we hope there is a place for people who are actually buying cars not just "sending it" as the frat boys say...

[@theboys7195]

Great video! I truly enjoy the two perspectives. I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on the value, if any, on moving up to the Q5. I know the Q5 is longer & a tiny bit wider with more engine but overall, when specked with similar features, is the $14,000 to $15,000 price hike really worth it? After watching this review, the Q3 seems to check off a bunch of boxes and could very well be the sweet spot for a good percentage of people at $50K. I was also wondering if you will be doing reviews of more vehicles like the Audi Q5 & 3 I really like, the E-Pace from Jaguar & from Range Rover both the Evoque & Discovery Sport. I find that those brand names seem to scare most people away before they even look into them as vehicles they can't afford but in reality come in quite close to some very popular vehicles like the Q5. Anyway, I've taken too much of your time. Thanks again & I'll be watching for more great insight!

Recently got a '21 Q3 as a rental for a 3400 mile road trip to Colorado. pleasantly surprised by this little SUV. Very fun to drive and super comfortable for long 14+ hour drive streches. Good sound system as well. It needs a tad bit more power though. It's peppy though. Looking up the VIN we had the Premium 40 (180hp), so the smaller of the two engine options. I'm sure the Premium 45 and its 230hp would have been more to my liking. Seriously considering trading in my 2018 Fusion for one of these.

How was the fuel consumption on the road trip? How much was it to fill up? Kindly let me know, thank you!

Interesting review that will have me takea second look at the Q3. I did not like the pre-introduction model Canadian Audi dealers showed last summer; fit and finish was a big step down and way too much piano black for me, sadly a new Audi trend across their new models. It also did not have a telescopic steering wheel but I think it is available now?

Great review. I just picked up my 2021 premium Q3 and absolutely love it. Im in the USA New Jersey. Im glad you mentioned it runs on regular gas because it mentions that the car runs “better” with premium gas in the manual, is that true? Is there a difference in performance? Thank you

[@TheRebuilt1]

I think its mid-grade vs premium gas in the prior generation Q3's that you can use stateside not regular unleaded. We had a premium plus in first-generation and i like the feature of the new one but the old version had other things i liked. You had an undercarriage tray on 1st gen premium plus that new models don't have and you had the traditional euro fog lights that new models don't have. Yes it's more powerful and roomy and the screen integration layout is nice but the overall fit and finish feel cheaper on the newer version to me.

[@Coronet_1969_]

And it runs on regular gas! Looks very nice and believe that Audi has the nicest interiors these days and that panoramic sunroof is fantastic. Only ding is the predicted reliability of that brand would make me stop and think hard before buying.

They followed the BMW X1 formula, but regular fuel ! What about remote start or a spare tire?

[@xorbitman]

So does it get more HP and TQ with super gas? Doesn't the GTI use premium gas? No head's up display or paddles either. I use my 18" wheels on my X1 and bought summer 19" and performance tires. I have a 2018 BMW X1 and have modified the ECU for more features and power. I have the optional dampers and sport diff. I like the analog gauges just like on the M2 CS. BTW, I don't like run flats...they're noisy, expensive and wear out faster and don't usually perform as well. Nice review! I changed my fogs to LED bulbs so that the color of the lights match. and also changed the turn signals and rears tails to LED. There's a software switch in the ECU that you have to enable for LED so that you don't need resistors or get that annoying blink. Can do a lot of the programming yourself using bimmercode and the bluetooth dongle that fits in the ECU's OBD II connector port under the dash. Great review! BTW the X3 with the options is a much better vehicle IMHO and although it's more expensive than the X1, X2 or Q3, it is still competitively priced and is the highest rated vehicle in Consumer Reports.

[@myplussy]

Great review and thank you very much. I've been a fan of you guys and been waiting for this review. Ever since this 2nd Gen Q3 came out I eventually traded my 1st Gen.

We still have the previous version, bought it brand new and put on about 145k clicks over the past 6 years. Mostly city driving and no issues what so ever. We swapped the spark plugs, brakes (@ 120k) and the battery (@ 110k), nothing else so far. I owned other premium vehicles such as BMW and Merc, Q3 had no check engine lights, oil leaks or electrical gremlins over the past 6 years, which is impossible to achieve with the other premium brands, sad but true. One thing to watch for is the oil consumption, you need to add oil to those engines every 3-4k clicks.

How is the fuel efficiency on the q3? It’s regular gas (as Zack mentions lol) 4 cylinders, but does the torque impact the fuel consumption?

AUDI , We need the RSQ3 in 🇺🇸

I really like this car. I want to be able to afford it someday. I currently can't decide between Audi and Lexus because Lexuses last very long and my family's Lexuses have lasted for over 100,000 miles. I'm not sure how many miles this would last.

Considered the Q3, GLA250 and X1. The X1 failed immediately for not offering blind-spot monitoring; at least the salesman pointed that out first and saved a test drive. The Q3 impressed and we had a very satisfactory test drive. I failed to notice and, of course, no one at Audi mentioned it - there is no driver seat, mirror memory option. So glad I did more online research and was alerted to this failure. It's not a luxury vehicle in 2020 without memory seats though it may be an acceptable deficiency if only one driver. You can guess the MB GLA included both "essential" features (driver [3] AND passenger seat memories) so one to spare in our 2-driver family, or one for city and another for highway). We've become so accustomed to our Honda CRV adjusting the seats and mirrors automatically that this is almost a safety feature. After a very long test drive in the Baby Benz we appreciated that it really is a luxury model whereas the Q3 is a tarted-up VW as the video almost acknowledges. Having enough time to factory custom order, we were able to get a GLA close in price to the Q3. Regular fuel would have been nice but as noted in other comments, the Q3's fuel efficiency is not great which should offset some of the MBs premium fuel cost. GLA arrives in March - ask me then if I've changed my mind that it's worth the small extra cost.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Congratulations on your new vehicle. The GLA is a great product, I really love it and the interior is top notch.
