5 reasons to buy the 2022 Audi Q3

1. New infotainment system 

If you’re into blazing-fast connectivity, you’ll love the 2022 Audi Q3’s updated infotainment system, MIB 3. Its chips offer 10 times the speed of the previous version, delivering significantly faster download speeds on the available Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices.

The system expands its available satellite radio content to include SiriusXM® with 360L, keeping you entertained with more than 10,000 hours of streaming content.
It also responds to more nuanced voice commands and is compatible with Amazon Alexa.   

2. Long list of driver aids 

The 2022 Audi Q3’s broad suite of driver aids can help boost your confidence behind the wheel. New for 2022, Audi side assist with rear cross-traffic alerts, and a parking system come as standard features on the Q3. All trims also come with blind-spot monitoring. For added convenience, check out the Premium Plus trim, which includes an available top-view camera system for easier parking and adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assistance.  

3. Striking exterior design 

The 2022 Audi Q3 boasts a striking exterior design that will stand out from other SUVs on the lot. It features an edgy grille, an elegant fastback roofline, standard aluminum roof rails, and 18-inch five-arm design wheels. The crossover comes in 10 distinctive exterior colors, including Turbo Blue, Nano Gray Metallic, Tango Red Metallic, and Pulse Orange, to help you achieve just the right aesthetics for your ride. 

4. Agile handling 

Quattro all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission come standard on the 2022 Audi Q3. This SUV feels powerful and agile to handle, whether you’re running errands around town or cruising down winding backcountry roads. You can tweak the engine, steering, and transmission settings to fit your driving preferences through Audi Drive Select.  

5. Very comfortable ride 

The 2022 Audi Q3 was designed with comfort in mind. You’ll find heated eight-way power-adjustable seats decked out with supple leather upholstery up front. The rear seats slide and recline to offer more room for adult passengers in the back. The luxury SUV quickly dispatches bumps and shields passengers from the wind and tire noise, keeping the cabin quiet so you can hear every note of your go-to driving playlist. And with the standard power panoramic sunroof, the Audi Q3 allows you to feel the breeze in your hair on warm, sunny days.
