The balance between comfort and control in the Audi Q3 is commendable. The Audi Q3 feels equally at home cruising down the highway as it does taming a winding canyon road. Its steering is top-notch, its brakes have good feel, and its quiet cabin is easy to see out of, a rare trait these days. This is a good car for a relaxing road trip, but it also likes to dance. Drive it with some angst and the Q3 responds. It’s not a sports car but you can hustle it around. The turbocharged 2.0-liter is smooth enough and puts out 200 horsepower, which is adequate, but it's still 28 fewer horses than you get in the BMW X1. More power would be nice. Also, the knees of taller drivers may bump the steering column, as it doesn't adjust quite high enough, forcing them into an awkward driving position.
QUATTRO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Audi pioneered all-wheel drive in luxury-passenger cars way back in the 1980s, and the 2018 Audi Q3 is available with the latest version of its now legendary Quattro all-wheel-drive system. It works seamlessly, maximizing traction in bad weather and improving the vehicle’s handling in all climates and situations. ONBOARD WI-FIFor those with phone addictions or phone-addicted teenagers, the new Audi Q3 is available with 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot, and up to eight devices can be connected at any one time. This is unique in the segment, although the Mercedes GLC and Infiniti QX30 offer 3G Wi-Fi.
Audi’s designers are known for crafting modern interiors with exceptional fit and finish, rich materials and eye-pleasing shapes. The interior of the 2018 Audi Q3 is one of their best. From the driver’s seat this small SUV feels current and upscale. Nothing inside the Q3 seems old-fashioned or dated. Nothing feels cheap or chintzy. Rear legroom is tight, but good enough for adults thanks to the clever sculpting of the front seatbacks. The driver’s seat is comfortable, and the amount of cargo space is surprising, expanding to more than 48 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats.
Audi has never made an ugly car. Since August Horch founded the brand in 1910, good design has always been part of its strength. Horch left the ugly cars to Audi’s sister brand DKW. Today Audi’s designers continue to innovate and set trends. To lead. One look at the 2018 Audi Q3 and it’s easy to understand. It’s a striking design, with motion in its lines and an air of sophistication in its face. Its proportions mean business. We like the sensual tapered rear end and standard LED taillights. The dual-exhaust outlets are a sporty touch.
The base Premium model comes with quite a bit of standard equipment, including leather seating, a panoramic sunroof, 130-degree rearview camera, power front seats, heated side mirrors, 60/40-split fold-down rear seat and standard front and rear parking sensors. This adds to the dual-zone climate control, push-button start, and bright xenon headlights. For 2018 the S line exterior including S-line front bumper, doorsills and badging is standard. Audio is provided by a 10-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with HD and satellite radio, Bluetooth streaming and iPod integration that uses a proprietary dongle. Strangely, there's no standard USB input.
Options include Audi's quattro AWD system, and Audi Connect in-car Wi-Fi and Google Earth-enhanced navigation. This year there’s a new convenience package available on the Premium trim, which includes Audi advanced key (front doors and tailgate), auto-dimming interior mirror with compass and power tailgate. The Sport plus package on the Premium Plus trim includes a more aggressive front bumper, an S-line rear bumper, a 3-spoke flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles, blacked-out exterior trim, black roof rails and unique 19-inch 10-spoke wheels. We also recommend the Technology Package, which adds Audi Connect, Navigation Plus and a color screen.
There's only one engine available for the 2018 Audi Q3: a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder putting out 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. It's more than adequate with plenty of bottom-end power and good passing punch on the highway. Some, however, might wish for more. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission. The Audi Q3 offers standard front-wheel drive (FWD), but it's worth it to upgrade to quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) for better handling and better foul-weather capability. Fuel economy lags competitors, with its best of 28-mpg highway, well behind the 32-mpg highway rating of the BMW X1. Adding to that, the Audi Q3 requires premium fuel. 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 200 horsepower @ 5,100-6,000 rpm 207 lb-ft of torque @ 1,700-5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/28 mpg
The base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for a front-wheel-drive 2018 Audi Q3 Premium model is about $ 33,000 when you include the $ 950 destination charge; all-wheel drive adds a bit more than $ 2,000 to the total. One step up is the Premium Plus with a base price around $ 35,500. It’s a strong value considering the additional equipment. We also recommend the Technology Package if you have the additional $ 2,600. Those prices are competitive with the base BMW X1, and less than a base Mercedes-Benz GLA250, but thanks to their greater option selections, both rivals can quickly exceed the cost of a loaded Q3. A less prestigious option is the Buick Encore, which costs thousands less at about $ 25,000. Before buying, check out the Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying for their Q3. Like the Audi Q5 and Q7 SUVs, the Q3 holds its value very well.

2018 Audi Q3 2.0 TFSI quattro Technik Interior Colors
The new Audi Q3 is a more sporty design than its predecessor.
For 2017, the Audi Q3 comes with small differences between crop lines and packages.
Shower gels and generally beauty-product brands have a way of appealing to customers by thrusting desire through sensorial-related names and presentation of their offers. Olfactory sense-stroking balms and soothing cashmere-touch night cream-approaches are basically the most commonly used methods of conveying beauty and easy customer-access to deeply-rooted sensorial pampering, unless beauty is forged out of steel and thousands of accurately engineered parts.
Automobiles undoubtedly fall into the latter category, and what better way of striking at least one of the remaining three senses if not building an image of a mighty engine roar or purr of a loyal cylinder sextet cradled under the bonnet of an Audi car? Audi translates as 'listen' from latin and besides expressing an unanimously accepted passion of the motorist, that of listening to the engine as if it were a never before heard dissertation on mechanics blended with boisterous 'deux ex machina' comments and demonstrations, it also marks the birth of Audi following Horch's demise, the previous name of the company that can be traced back to 1899.
Its founder, August Horch was forced out of his own company in 1909 due to trademark infringements, 8 years after the first automobile had rolled out the gates of the plant in Zwickau, Germany. After having been dispensed of, Horch started his own company under the same name which led to a fair share of trouble that came to an end as soon as Horch called for a meeting at the apartment of Franz Fikentscher to discuss the matter and come up with a new name for the company. Franz's son who was studying latin at the time was the true deliverer of the name that would later became synonymous with luxury and quality. As 'Horch' means listen in Old German, the boy simply made a switched the name with its latin corespondent, 'audi', sparking enthusiasm into the 'audience' that quickly adopted the name.
Audi's start o the German market was high lighted by the appearance of 2.6 liter engine powered vehicles followed by a series of more powerful ones, such as 4.7 L and the gas-gulping 5.7 L. Having gotten to see his company grow wings, Horch left in in 1920, four years before Audi's first 6 cylinder model was built. In 19128, Audi was acquired By Jorgen Rasmussen, owner of rival company DKW.
A few years later, a merger between Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer occurred and thus, the Auto Union was formed in 1932. Those times called for a new badge and the four interlocked rings were born as a sign of unity and identity of the newly formed auto-conglomerate. Technological improvement became a top priority that first took shape during the Second World War when an armored car was produced for the German Army.
However, all the progress would soon be severely slowed down and even halted at times due to heavy bombings. Moreover, as as soon as the conflict had come to an end, Zwickau had been caught in the soviet occupation zone that would become The German Democratic Republic in 1949. Not only that the company's activity was in jeopardy but the Auto Union had also broken up and the Union had to be restarted n new grounds, in Ingolstadt, Bavaria.
Though sluggish at first, the newly Ingolstadt based factory would attract many of the former workers and the construction of two-stroke engines would be resumed in a way similar to that of Zwickau. By 1958, Daimler-Benz had already acquired a whopping 87% of the Auto Union but its investment quickly became property of Volkswagen, the company having bought the factory and and the brands in 1964.
Soon after the change of ownership, two-stroke engines would be eliminated in favor of the more popular and more customer appealing four-stroke ones. DKW, the leading brand of the Union at the time failed as a brand despite of the changes it had made and Volkswagen decided to resurrect Audi. The former DKW built model was rebranded as an Audi one and was the springboard for the make of later models such as the 60, 75 and 80.
After a second merger with the Stuttgart based car-producer NSU by 1970, Audi established itself as a reliable growing brand that would later break the German boundaries and expand to new markets, including the North American one where it encountered difficulties following the release of a biased report that portrayed the car as suffering form 'unintended acceleration'. This was caused by the close placement of the brake and acceleration pedals, right next to each other. Shortly after the report was released , an abrupt decline in sales was registered that was countered only years later with the 1996 release of the A4 model.
Joining a row of successful car-producers, Audi has also garnered acclaim on the racing track with several World Record holdings, including one for Top Speed Endurance. Audi is currently enjoying a privileged position and large market share and is predicted to reach the production threshold of 1 million units by the end of this year.
