Interior, comfort, and cargo
Overall, the Q3 has a pleasant interior with enough space for a driver and four adult passengers. Plenty of headroom in the front and legroom in the rear will make travelling to far-off destinations a comfy experience.
The large windows all around that improve driving visibility. One of the most noticeable features of the cabin is that it's pretty quiet, the leather front seats heat up quite fast, and the ride is exceptionally smooth. You also get a panoramic sunroof and a four-way power lumbar support driver's seat as standard.
Technology, infotainment, and connectivity
Standard technology includes an Audi mobile phone interface, SiriusXM radio, a USB charging port, Bluetooth, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, a 10-speaker sound system, and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster.
Safety and driver assistance features
Rear and front parking sensors will help you get into those tight parking spots. Other additional standard driver safety technology includes Audi pre-sense (back and front), progressive steering, cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a rear-view camera.
