2015 Audi Q3 Reviews, Ratings & Specs
Editor's Overview
The 2015 Audi Q3 is a new SUV from the German luxury automaker and now the smallest of its Q lineup. The Q3 isn't as spry or as fuel-efficient as the BMW X1, but the Audi's freshness grants differentiation (for now), while its quality fit and finish and pleasant road manners are similar to those of its bigger brothers.
