Audi’s lovely subcompact luxury crossover is a sales leader in Canada. And that’s despite offering limited engine selection. In fact, the Q3 relies exclusively on a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, though with two different output levels to choose from—184 horsepower or 228 horsepower. More powerful models as well as plug-in hybrid variants exist in other markets. Q3 drivers typically rave about its outstanding driving dynamics.
Pros
- Pleasant driving
