CG Says: The 2022 Audi Q3 adds standard blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors to the base Premium model. The Premium Plus trim gains standard topview camera. The Q3 is a premium subcompact crossover SUV that was redesigned for 2019. The sole power train is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to an 8-speed auto with standard all-wheel drive. In the 40 TFSI version this engine develops 184 horsepower, while the 45 TFSI puts out 228 hp. Available features include collision warning and mitigation, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, topview camera, and park assist. The current-generation Q3 offers more room, power, and equipment than the previous Q3, making it a strong contender in the competitive premium subcompact crossover segment.
