[@styles_mufasa3106]

It's dashboard is quite familiar to Volkswagen Taigun

[@Cosplayinghuman]

Lol exactly what I was thinking

[@SunilPatil-lv7vr]

Glad, I booked Mercedes GLA 220d. The luxury quotient, safety, ride quality are top class

[@snackmediaco]

The GLA is amazing

[@mayankrai5205]

Quattro is a quattro 😂

[@deft_]

@@mayankrai5205 gla has 4matic aswell. Its the same

[@BarsitSiBSIVloGs]

Old-school arrangements are wayyyyyyyyy more practical and driver friendly compared to touchscreen as driver will always have to look down for finding the controls. And that could be a big safety issue

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

The 2023 X1 will certainly be the gold standard.

[@himanshubalyan9557]

Audi, please sort out the alloy wheel design for Indian models. Seriously !

[@mrjaspalsingh]

In this segment skoda kodiaq, tiguan, superb would be nice choise in case of Affordable service and price tag

[@paramchd]

Unfortunately, because of the late arrival it has lost the buzz. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have already acquired the segment .

[@vinoddity]

I like the way the older model looks!

[@adritoban7383]

gosh this thing is almost 3-4 years old abroad!

[@achintyaaatreya]

To focus on the bright side,the orange paint does look waay better than the drab colours X1 and GLA offer. Now let's hope for a comparison.

[@ashishmundefi2190]

It's very late for q3. Now I have bought merc gla. It's quite good too.

[@anantbansal4614]

It's late launch but still good to buy and Quattro all wheel drive as standard is the best it's giving as compared to Merc and BMW

[@pallavibagi8637]

When would Q3 sports back be launched in India...?

[@kushsaraogi]

Audi has Finally uped the segment with the launch of the Q3.. Lets see how it fares in the market come the 2023 X1.. ⚡️

[@thunderjas]

Bmw x1 doesn’t come in 4 all wheel drive in india they stopped because of sales the one offered is front wheel drive , where as Audi Q3 is offered in Quattro which is one of the major advantage when considering a SUV in this segment. Any misinformation may pl be pardoned

[@aavirbhavsingh5914]

Should have been brought back in 2018-2019 itself, let’s see how it does after new x1 comes

[@AmitSingh-vv6fe]

Would love to see content in 4K. At home on the big screen it would be a delight to watch it.

[@prajwalzagade4916]

Is vw t roc underpinned by this very suv??

[@rajestate4364]

What would be mailage of this car??

[@srikarsrinivasula]

Bruh those alloys are an eye sore ...wtf is audi thinking

[@rajanchaudhary8083]

Exterior looks old as per today's standards bmw x1 2023 will kill it

[@Super-verse]

Such a beautiful car and always has been but why it's being launched in India so late towards the end of its current generation. I'm sure by 2024, there will be a new gen Q3 and this will sell in India at hefty discounts within a year.

[@rahulmatale2837]

I will go for new X1 because of diesel engines and proper drivers car BMW Q3is nice and stylish too

[@polmedhi9301]

Awesome Q3 but what about the Q2 n the A3?? When r they gonna come

[@bishoptoothpaste1858]

The price is not justifiable..... We India's in a developing country are paying 2X the price than abroad. ..

[@M4NA5]

This is one generation old in terms of exterior and interior design/features.

[@satoshinakamoto3342]

We can only wait for it, we cannot afford it

[@aravindbnr]

Except for the alloy wheels , this looks fantastic.

[@shubhamgoel1806]

An octavia would be better buy, save up on some cash too IMO!

[@Wukong432]

Q3 is literally a rebranded Kodiaq or Tiguan

[@digveshpanchal9706]

Car is really good. But One Major Function Missing AUTO HOLD😢 It's Mandatory in Indian Bumper to Bumper Traffic.

[@siddhanthsingh7]

Is the sportback version coming to India? Or RS?

[@mihirmodi6394]

Head room is well catered too? Seriously? Autocar is getting very biased these days. Go for a Jeep Compass instead for a budget friendly option or GLA

[@NikhilOnCars]

Well, I am 5'11 and my head didn't touch. That's not the case in all cars. Ironically, I'm not as comfortable in the GLA or Compass.

[@mihirmodi6394]

@@NikhilOnCars i didn't suggested GLA or Compass for head room. In similar car reviews you have criticized cars for the similar head room or more than this one. In this video your head was about to touch the border of the scooped area. I am 5' 11" too but petit like Gavin so it won't be the same problem for me though.

[@kevinkrishnan8810]

Should i go for octavia or xuv700 or audi q3? Please let me know your opinions

[@biswajeetparija1972]

Jeep Compass!

[@chadultrapromax1735]

700 or octy♥️ q3 isn't worth but if u really want an suv u can also try kodiaq

[@swagatbikram4698]

XUV700

[@shadabparkar642]

Dear Kevin, Better buy MAHINDRA XUV 700! It’s worth

[@mcu_cutzz892]

Xuv for sure...pure vfm suv

[@prateeksharma2360]

❤️❤️

[@bsviky]

One can just go for VW Tiguan and save a lot of money for a very similar package.

[@lairenlakpammotilalsingh5199]

Q3 interior is top notch ......

[@boydnao]

Look like a vw taigun

[@yashc30]

Why not just get the Tiguan?

[@kamaljitkaur5398]

My Son Mahi is vry vry like Audi car...he's told me sometimes mom g I want buy the Audi Latest modle...car..

[@prasadmankar7650]

This will fall short against even the new gen x1,forget about rivaling gla.

[@Hetal.]

Vw Tiguan in Audi clothes.😞

[@009raptor]

New X1 should be launched at same price points. Audi's internal management messed up their Q3 launch. Even after being a desirable car, it might miss the love it deserved.

[@AristocratePrince]

This q3 is just launched, justttt launched becoz to fill the gap.

[@sadeeshjohn896]

sadly none of the Germans are bringing in ADAS in India. Surely, they will bite the dust soon like Nokia!

[@Youtubefana]

In this price band it is criminal to not include auto hold.

[@imu6085]

No diesel no suv

[@humble3454]

People getting excited for such cars here but buy Espresso in real life🤣

[@mananagarwal7002]

No where near the 2023 X1 and why Audi took 4+ years to bring this to India. It was launched in European market in 2018 if it was launched then or even in 2019 there would have been no competition but now 2023 X1 will destroy this

[@Eliteshade]

this didn't age well XD, new X1 is so underpowered compared to Q3 lol

[@anasanwar603]

Oh really, BMW doesn't offers you the power which this car provides

[@ashwinkumar2294]

Would you say this now after the launch of X1 in India? Audi looks dated but the power train is superior to X1!! 50lac for a 136hp vs 188hp...

[@drkalyanaraman]

2023 BMW X1 is dead on arrival with horribly underpowered engines, DCT and FWD. Audi Q3 with AWD as standard is the new Boss of the segment, with both the X1 and GLA (petrol) being underpowered. The GLA diesel costs about 6-7 more lakhs on the road, and budget conscious buyers will prefer a petrol powered Audi Q3 instead, particularly after all those discounts.

[@KK20048]

No Tdi ...

[@pratikkhambekar9854]

First comment ❤️🥳

[@---_---_---_---_---_---]

Pls post on LinkedIn

[@DeathClutch]

Pehli fursat me nikal

[@prasannaganesh1775]

Looks like small q8

[@rohanram2777]

If the badge isn’t a problem, I’d suggest anyone going to get an audi q3 to go for a vw taigun, and save the extra 20 lakhs. I’m not kidding.

[@shashanknaik1978]

No way...

[@gauravgupta2125]

Still Volvo xc 40 is on the upper hand

[@AkshayMulik]

Can't say it's a SUV, maybe it's a hatchback.

[@aditya.ishan27]

All great about Audi Q3 but if ever had 50lakhs to spend on cars will go with Mercedes Benz GLA or Volvo xc40.. You ask why? Because folks who are entering into luxury sporty cars they know that entery points car won't have that superb performance but we all be aware it would have enough to keep you engage, so if we going to spend money it's either Be eye catching 'luxurious' or damm 'safe'.. The above two cars do have that.

[@1989soumitra]

Ohh cheaper than fortuner..

[@sakshamtiwari3209]

Just a VW Tiguan with Audi price

[@dukhuveonah460]

Looks like a maruti suzuki products

[@EPITAPH13]

So plain. Rs version would be better

[@mahendra_akshaj]

No difference at all in looks and features All audi looks similar now

[@sujeetdas2]

Exterior not good enough.

[@RK-tv1zo]

Just a big brand doesn't mean everything they make is luxurious,i don't see this car as a luxury car,i think an Innova or Kia carnival is more luxurious,luxury is comfort and space and not just looks and brand , just saying cause some people think cars like c class and this one are considered luxury cars too

[@Cosplayinghuman]

Yeah lol your standards are different

[@floraexoticsfloraexotics]

Looks too plain 😢

[@movieworld0007]

Alloys 👎🏻
