For others, the 2022 Audi Q3 is a smart, affordable way to purchase an Audi.
As Car & Driver put it, the 2022 Audi Q3 Premium Plus carries a “youthful ambiance” that “looks expensive on the outside and its cabin is lined with many of the same fine materials and technology features that you’ll find on the more expensive Q5, Q7, and Q8 crossovers.”
The Q3 has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that churns out either 184- or 228 horsepower and can get you from zero to 60 in nine seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph.
An eight-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive are both standard.
You get to enjoy many of the features of the larger Q5 SUV, including some of the same tech, convenience, and safety features but in a smaller and less pricey luxury package.
It also comes with upgrades that include the latest infotainment system, MIB 3, which now comes standard in 2022 and produces faster response times, more satellite radio content, and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot for a total of eight devices. There are also more nuanced voice command controls.
Additionally, plenty of performance, beautiful styling, and standard all-wheel drive make this the perfect weekend vehicle for hitting the road with friends and family.
You’ll love the responsive steering through high-speed curves and what one reviewer called the “crisp and comfortable” everyday driving of the Q3.
