2021 Audi Q3 review

1. Cargo convenience

Despite the compact size—that makes parking incredibly easy—the 2021 Audi Q3 delivers all the cargo capacity you want in an SUV. The Audi Q3 might seat five, but you get 23.7 cu-ft of cargo space, which is approximately six large checked bags for that one friend who likes to overpack for travel. If you need even more cargo room, fold the rear seats down. The cargo floor delivers 48 cu-ft of space—for context, that's approximately equivalent to a four-person hot tub! Smaller storage solutions abound, with cubbies and trays smartly within easy reach for front and rear passengers. 

2. Long list of standard features

The 2021 Audi Q3 is the compact that can, with a loaded-up base model and a long list of great features. Outside, standard features include LED headlights, automatic high beams, aluminum roof rails, and a rear spoiler. And if you like tech, there's electronic stability with off-road mode, a power tailgate, and a power panoramic sunroof. Inside, check out the leather surfaces, heated front seats, and 8.8-inch infotainment display. The previously optional sporty S Line appearance package is now standard for 2021, with 19-inch wheels, black exterior trim, and embossed seats. 

3. Quattro all-wheel drive

The 2021 Audi Q3 offers two four-cylinder engines, both connecting to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard Quattro^® AWD. This high-tech drivetrain system automatically and instantly adjusts to inclement driving conditions for a more confident drive. No need to remember to select AWD or make sure it's included in your preferred trim package when buying. If it's a 2021 Q3, it has AWD. Nighttime rain or sleet? Mud-slicked roads from torrential rains? Q3 will conquer any road conditions you encounter. 

4. Comfortable driving dynamics

While the 2021 Audi Q3 has sporty handling, it's even better as a plush and cozy place to enjoy your morning commute. You'll notice the quiet cabin and poised suspension, even in Sport mode and over rough pavement. An upright seating position gives an excellent view of the road ahead, and the comfortable seats are ready for an all-day road trip. With standard eight-way power adjustment and lumbar support for the driver's seat, you can sit comfortably parked after your drive until the podcast is over. 

5. Premium Plus 45 trim

New for the 2021 Audi Q3 is a top-end trim with all the luxury and tech features you want in one great package. The Audi Q3 Premium Plus 45 has the more powerful 228-horsepower engine, plus a ton of luxury features that improve every drive. When traffic gets heavy, chill out with the adaptive cruise assist and lane guidance that keeps the gridlock from being overwhelming. Crank up your favorite tunes with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ connectivity alongside available SiriusXM^® satellite radio.

 If your phone runs low, use the wireless charging pad for an easy top-up. And when you get to your destination, the top view camera system makes parking a breeze.
