5 reasons to buy the 2023 Audi Q3

1. Sleek interior

When you're driving your boss to a work event, picking up a date, or heading anyplace in between, the 2023 Audi Q3 is sure to impress. All 2023 Q3s come standard with heated leather seats in the front and a panoramic sunroof that lets the light in for an airy feel on every drive. Tech touches like a standard wireless charging pad and 10.25-inch touchscreen add to the cabin's luxury feel, while making it practical, too.

2. All-wheel drive

Whether you live in an icy and snowy climate or just visit one during ski season, you'll appreciate that all 2023 Audi Q3s come standard with all-wheel drive. The 2023 Q3 also comes standard with driver-assistance features including emergency braking and rain-sensing windshield wipers. With these features, this luxury SUV is ready to handle mountain roads, camping trips, and other adventures, no matter what the weather.

3. Turbocharged engine options

The 2023 Audi Q3 comes standard with a turbocharged engine that makes a big impact without sending you to the gas pump too often. The standard engine is a 184-hp turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder that gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined fuel economy.

Or, you can opt for an available 228-hp turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined.

4. Parent-friendly SUV

Parents want stylish luxury rides too, and the Q3 delivers. The 2023 Audi Q3 has two sets of LATCH anchors in the rear seat. The middle rear seat can borrow LATCH anchors from either side, so you can install a car seat in any of the back seats. The system is easy to use, making it a breeze to take the kids in your life for a ride.

5. Functional cargo hold

The 2023 Audi Q3 is a subcompact SUV that balances urban maneuverability with cargo space. It has a respectable 23.7 cu-ft behind the rear seats—enough space to pack up a stroller, some golf clubs, or even your pup for a day of fun. On top of this, you get additional little storage areas throughout the cabin, so you can always have your snacks, water bottles, and other essentials on hand.
