New Audi Q3 Review. What we discovered.

Say hello to the latest Audi Q3. Specifically, the Audi Q3 35 TFSI petrol S-Line in fetching Tango Red that Leasing.com sent Howard Ritchie. The 148hp 1.5-litre tested here is the most popular version and the one we’d recommend, but, unless you opt for the entry-level Technik model, more potent variants are of course available. The question is, is it the best crossover in its class?

Aside from its Q3 Sportback cousin, we think it’s certainly the best looking at the very least. Of course, on the inside it feels much like any other new Audi. But that’s no bad thing. It gets the latest infotainment tech, a vivid digital driver display, cool ambient lighting and materials of the highest quality. And the biggest surprise? A sound system that Howard actually likes. (Quite likes).

So, is it worth leasing? You can compare prices here: https://bit.ly/3pNM3qH
