5 reasons to buy the 2024 Audi Q3

1. Loaded with driver aids and tech 

The 2024 Audi Q3 puts the latest driver-aid technology at your fingertips with a long list of features. For example, adaptive cruise control comes standard, which is new for 2024. A rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, and pedestrian detection are standard, as well. Look out for the available Convenience package that delivers even more bells and whistles, including an alarm with a motion sensor and a HomeLink® garage door opener through the auto-dimming rearview mirror.  

2. Energetic handling 

Whether you’re cruising down the highway on your way to work or taking on twisting roads for a weekend getaway, the 2024 Audi Q3 delivers agile, energetic handling. The steering feels responsive and light to the touch. The crossover’s standard quattro all-wheel drive system provides great traction and optimizes acceleration based on road conditions. With Audi Drive Select, the Q3 allows you to adjust the transmission, engine, and steering configurations to meet your individual driving preferences. 

3. Sleek exterior 

The Audi Q3 looks sleek on the road. The exterior paint palette received an update for 2024, giving you fresh color options like Arkona White and Progressive Red Metallic. It rides atop 18-inch alloy wheels and comes crowned with aluminum roof rails as the standard design. Want an even more sophisticated-looking ride? Opt for the Black Optic package, which comes with black roof rails and high-gloss black styling elements. 

4. Quiet and comfortable cabin 

With little noise coming into the cabin from the tires or wind, the 2024 Audi Q3 feels as hushed as a library—great for helping kids in the back seat focus on important conversations on the way home from school or giving you some solitude on your way to the office. Big windows and a panoramic sunroof create a sense of spaciousness within the cabin. Plus, heated eight-way leather power front seats will keep you and your co-pilot cozy on long drives. 

5. Wireless charging available 

The 2024 Audi Q3 eliminates the headache of tangled charging cables cluttering the cabin with its wireless charging pad in the front, available on the Premium trim and standard on the Premium Plus trim. Simply snap your compatible device to the magnetic pad to recharge the battery on the fly. You can connect to Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ wirelessly, making it easy to access your phone’s navigation system, messages, or favorite playlist through the Q3’s vibrant touchscreen display.

Cost

According to RepairPal, cost is the average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of a vehicle. Higher average cost alone does not necessarily mean a vehicle is less reliable.

The related cost of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

Frequency

According to RepairPal, frequency is the average number of times the vehicle is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal reports that it calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year for each make and model; and that controls are included to omit small routine visits to shops (such as for oil changes).

The frequency of such visits for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

Severity

According to RepairPal, severity measures the probability that a repair will be a major issue. RepairPal reports that an issue is considered severe if a repair costs three-times the average annual repair cost for all models. This threshold will be higher for vehicles that have higher labor rates and parts costs (such as a premium brand).
