2022 Audi Q3 45 S line Premium - POV Review

I love my 18 inch wheels. They skip over everything and still hold the road

What about balck edition package?

I was given a Q3 Quattro for a rental but the power lift gate opens fully then slowly goes down halfway 😢

Didn’t seem impressed.

It's an upgraded tiguan

It’s like a lifted Golf. I see some of the same switchgear such as the shift paddles. Looks like it has the same engine as the mk7 GTI and the current GLI engine too. It’s still nice though.

I have a 2019 Golf R. The engine compartment and the trunk look so similar. I also have a hood strut ;)

Wow. This was such a softball review.

No heated steering wheel ?

How would you compare this to a Mazda CX 5?

It's only an entry level cross over SUV in the US.
In Europe the Q3 is right in the middle of the Q family.
There are 2 smaller models like the Audi A1 City Carver and the Q2 and also 2 bigger models like the Q5 and Q7.

Ancora questi bidoni!!!

Was so close to buying one of these. Then realized no remote start, which is almost critical here in the north east. So disappointed.

This is $22k more expensive then what i paid for my base model mazda cx-30. I wonder does it drive and handle any better then the cx-30? i know you used to own one and im just curious if it's actually worth the price difference lol.

Brand new Q3 and the driver's seat already has creased leather! Imagine in two years time!

Premium: Still has an empty button next to the e-Brake. Also in terms of finishing, Q5 is way better.

At this price point, you're better off purchasing a Mazda CX-5 Turbo Signature instead of an Audi Q3 or related "entry-level luxury crossovers".

The European 45 in standard body ( not sport back) actually does 0-62 in 5.8 seconds

Funny enough about this car it shares the same engine as a gti and shares suspension components with the Audi TT and A3

У меня 2019 года выпуска...и ничего не поменялось ни внешне , ни в салоне...и мне это нравится...!!!

This or the new x1?

This as the SQ3 or RSQ3 would be exactly what I've been looking for for a while now.

Transmission and handling quality on these are atrocious. Thing handles like a boat around corners

$48k for a Golf that isn't a Golf R. Ridiculous.

The last 7 topher reviews all have the wheel in the same position in the thumbnail 👀

Honest question: what is the sales (not value!) but sales proposition for this? WHY would I want to buy this? I just want to know how it is justified or makes sense. By itself, sure, it might be a nice car. But in this price range, so are a lot of other cars too. Lexus NX, Acura RDX comes to mind mainly. Reliability, resale value, power, MPG... the Q3 doesn't stand out in any which way.

If you want to drive a vehicle with absolutely zero personality or unique features then this is the one for you.

This is the only entry level luxury crossover that doesn’t use premium gas!

I love this new 222 Audi Q3 S this is so cool love this color is so nice love your videos

Do a garage update

Does it have heated steering?

A nice-enough looking Cross-over SUV from Audi, the paint colour is nice and the style of the wheel-spokes. It’s great to see Audi still putting proper Transmission Stick-Shifters in some of their products. Their current generation of their smallest hatch the A1 (that we have in the UK) & over in Continental Europe has this Stick Shifter, AND a proper Handbrake instead of the ‘P’ Button we usually see in most car brands. I have never really liked the other silly shifter that’s in the likes of their A3 lines! We also have Q2 SUVs from Audi.

I'm sad we don't get the RS Q3 in North America, but this is a great entry level Audi SUV~

It’s too bad they never brought over the RSQ3 to the states. That 5 cylinder is amazing.

Switchblade key for an Audi when my VW Taos has remote start and smart key entry. Lol. 😆

I know I’m weird, and this extremely nit picky but, of all the gear selectors they chose THAT?! Why not the short bulky one? God that thing looks awful.

I bought my wife a new 2021 in this same configuration minus the premium. We have thoroughly enjoyed the standard AWD, leather seating surfaces, and the more powerful engine tune. It’s plenty quick, reasonably fuel efficient (as high as 28 mpg highway calculated at the pump), rides very confidently, and is all around a fantastic smaller SUV for city life. Our only gripe is the leaky panoramic roof which Audi cannot seem to stop from allowing rain in when left outside in rain overnight. We are on the 3rd repair and are hoping the issue will soon be resolved. It manifest through the dome lights and causes those lights to intermittently turn on and off at random. Water leaks in badly, and Audi has at least been responsive and offered us loaners whenever dropped off for this warranty work.

I think if you want to spend nearly $ 50k? maybe it´s better and smarter to buy a Lexus NX.

When you buy an Audi Q3 with the more powerful "performance" engine with some options, it still isn't any quicker than a base Jetta with a 158 hp 1.5T inline-4. For me, at $48,740, it should at least be as quick as a GTI. I understand most people who buy these could care less.
Q3 45 S line: 0-60: 7.4s, 1/4 mile: 15.7 @ 91 mph
Jetta 1.5T: 0-60: 7.1s, 1/4 mile: 15.5 @ 91 mph

These smaller Audi Crossovers look very chunky. Those seats are very interesting looking too. Otherwise it's a "mehh" car to me. Nothing too special, but lots of gimmicks.

The interior looks similar to VW Taigun

Wow!!! That switchblade key at the end.. Reminds me of my early to mid 2000s Audi keys.. lol

Ive actually been driving Audis for the better part of 30 years. I actually have never seen the Quattro badge on the dash, light up.. Interesting. As always, great review The Topher.

Super early today. Video is still hot from the oven!

Love your vids bro. ❤
