Really good looking car, but what’s about engines and transmision reliability?

[@MrSENNAmagic]

I just bought a brand new Audi Q3 sportback and it's amazing to drive... Its so comfy.. I could just drive miles and miles on this car and its just a pleasure.. For my first German brand car... Yes its amazing 😍😍😍

[@sbokhumsook1494]

very nice car but in Thailand Q3 sportback / BENSIN -1.4 litre / 84,375 us dollar. how you?

[@Fureddo28]

The black one looks so stealthy! I’m glad Audi finally realised that fake exhaust are a complete nonsense in terms of design. Hopefully fake vents will follow suit! Anyways, I love this new iteration of the Q3!

1:05 that black is absolutely stunning. Black can either be plain or absolutely gorgeous, like in this shot. I bet Thomas wouldn't mind driving one of these every day hahaha

[@paulgodden3381]

Another great review Thomas. This particular review helped me to decide between the standard Q3 & the Sportback and between the two engines. I’ve just ordered a Q3 SB 35 TFSI s-tronic. Incidentally, I think the 35 or 45 TFSI badging relates to the revolutions at which max torque is achieved but I’d rather it just showed TFSI as it does on my 2017 A4. Another consideration for engine choice apart from fuel economy was that here in the U.K. once the list price goes above £40k the VED (Road Fund Licence tax) is increased by £310 pa from year two onwards. Once a few options are added, as I did, that figure is soon reached.

[@autogefuehl]

Cool, enjoy!

[@antbarn92]

Hi Paul, i was thinking about changing my Audi A4 2017 for the Q3 SB how would you compare them in terms of comfort and fuel economy?

[@Oslo-ho3ws]

Hello. How is reliability of engine and transmision doing so far?

[@johncollymore1697]

I’m not a big fan of Coupe-style SUV’s but here I think they’ve done quite well. 05:05 like the German lesson for today. So true - options options options - a big pain in the backside. Less legroom in rear! Not so keen on dark gloomy interior - prefer pale or bright. Great driving roads, lovely region, great driving. I like the big warning light on the BLIS. Many thanks Thomas. Greetings to Holger.

[@autogefuehl]

👌

[@sebastianr.1561]

I am positively surprised that Audi offers such a “high-class“ exterior design in a rather low/more affrodable series. Supposedly a bestseller in it‘s class. And as always: great review! Greetings from Aachen.

[@2dostone2]

this black one looks soooo good

[@backinthegame34]

Great review once again. I have the previous generation Q3 with the 1.4L engine. On the highway it can switch to 2 cylinders when traveling at 100 or less and drops consumption to 4.5L/100km. The 2.0L can’t deactivate cylinders.

[@autogefuehl]

Appreciated!

[@rmknicks]

Looks way better than the hump back things that BMW releases.

[@neilturner6749]

Very interesting review - it seems a little more of a space compromise vs normal Q3 than BMW X2 vs X1, but the styling is good. Not sure about the 1.5 engine, I’m not a fan of cars which are “more show than go” and also here in the UK we prefer the extra traction of 4WD because we don’t use Winter Tyres, which means the 2.0 will probably be the more popular choice.

They should have put 2.0 tfsi with 110kw like on A4. That way they would be able to put awd also, like with the 110kw tdi

[@solidsnake4320]

I can't believe this isn't coming to the US!!!!!

[@chordeater8417]

Do you think the 45 TFSI is smoother and more silent than the 1.5 petrol engine? Thanks!

[@JackKing12.]

The orange would look good like on the Q8...as for chrome tip exhaust...I spend twice a week cleaning the A3 so I am happy for the clean rear design on this Q3 Sportback👍

[@aleeyh69]

Am deciding between Q3 and sportback Q3 ... sportback def looks so much better but smaller cabin space is def a practical concern 😥

[@craigbowles6897]

Great review video Thomas as always :) Can I ask a few quick questions please as there's not much info available yet in the UK? 1) Do you have a 0 to 60 acceleration figure for the 1.5 TFSI MHEV please? 2) Everything I've read online re petrol engines for the Q3 Sportback only mentions the 35 TFSI and 45 TFSI, is the 40 TFSI definitely coming to the Q3 Sportback and if so do you know when? 3) The Orange Q3 Sportback had black styling but still silver audi rings front and back whereas the Black Q3 Sportback had black styling and black badges. Is this because the Orange vehicle was an S Line with the Black Styling Pack whereas the Black vehicle was an Edition 1? 4) Re the White vehicle you reviewed in the hanger was it an Edition 1 too or a Vorsprung? 5) Also re the white vehicle, other sites have labelled it Dew Silver? Was it definitely white and if so do you know the colour name? Thanks very much and keep up the great work :)

[@autogefuehl]

Hey, thanks! 1) Sorry no 2) 40 is coming, but depends on market when. Earlier than 35 for sure 3) Black Audi rings just with launch edition 4) If it had black rings, yes 5) Yeah that is a strange color it looks like white. What did I say in the static review? White or silver?

[@craigbowles6897]

@@autogefuehl In the static review you said Dew Silver, though on screen in all reviews I've seen it looks white. Did it look like metallic white or metallic silver? Very confusing! :-)

It’s clear that Thomas’s reviews contribute more and more in people choosing to buy German cars. Many sales results showed the difference between Last 3 years and this year. Audi saw a monthly increase of 27.9 per cent but is still down 27.8 per cent year-to-date - not helped by the absence of the new-generation A1 hatchback and Q3 crossover - while Mercedes-Benz Cars was also down 8.3 per cent for August and -8.9 per cent year-to-date. BMW posted a modest increase of 5.7 per cent for the month, though is down 2.1 per cent year-to-date. In contrast to Japanese luxury carmaker (Lexus) with sales rose up to 58.6%.

[@autogefuehl]

Not sure if you have seen my remarks Toyota Camry vs BMW 3 Series... tbh I am a little tired of explaining my views on German cars. I've said it often enough that I don't care about the headquarters location of a company.

Is every 1.5 TFSI Q3 Sportback that you can buy today a mild hybrid (MHEV). I could not find any info on Audi technical specs regarding the 1.5 liter engine that mentions mild hybrid system.

About door trim, Thomas didn't mentioned(avoided) about cheap plastic right below the upper slightly soft one.....

Looks like a baby q8. Nice looking car. Just wish they paid more attention to steering, interior quality and grip.

[@kevinn1158]

Great review! I think this is a very handsome vehicle and not such a horrible compromise in the rear seats. It's much sharper/crisper design effort over the Allroad face lift. That Allroad is NOT growing on me at all.

[@schwarzboy1055]

Audi makes amazing Cara no doubt, but the fact that an A1 costs as much as this in standard form is a bit too much thou.

[@zarzaf6414]

Great review and about the numbers for Audi I wander if when BMW or Mercedes numbers came out such as 525d or 539d ... E220 or E350d were all confused? So i thing in some years we will get used to it. And also its so cool that they make their lower class vehicles daring with more colourful interiors it really stands out.

[@nsusruta]

I personally feel standard q3 looks better than this coupe version. The black one looks good though.

Thank you for this very detailed video. It helped a lot when I decided to buy a Q3 Sportsback in 2020. Since there was no German video of this kind, I have resorted to an English, but I speak the language quite well. Amazing I find that the Q3 with a 2 Lieter machine in Germany is almost 10,000 ¬ more expensive than the English version. Why does the cuckoo know? Maybe because we as Germans can buy the car directly in Germany ... lol. So thanks for this very good video

Because I am really tall and I cant travel in rear passenger seats.

@autogefuehl Yes they did.

[@johnrunner7303]

I was wondering if it is related with semiconductors shortage or perhaps cost-cutting method.

You should test it when the sun is out, the blue Alcantara surface might be a distraction in such a situation. I disagree with you on the leather part, in some markets choosing the non leather interior brands getting the base version. Luxury car buyers are unlikely to go that way with such an expensive car.
