Is the 2022 Audi Q3 a BETTER luxury SUV than a BMW X1?

The Q3 is Audi's smallest SUV. On the outside you will find 20in wheels, full LED lighting and a forward facing camera. On the inside you will be greeted by a digital gauge cluster, panoramic sunroof and HUD. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

I bought a Q3 for my wife. She has had 2 BMW's and a Q5 in the past. We feel the Audi is better than the others and love the fact our Q3 runs on regular gas. Fifty years ago, it would not have mattered but with fuel costs today any penny saved is worth it. This is a very nice automobile.

Audi styling has always been a favorite of mine. Looks attractive and clean. Next up bring the rsq3 to the states please!

I drive a Q8 and we just bought my wife a Q3. For the price, we love it and added bonus that it runs in regular, not premium.

My mother owns one of these, she absolutely loves it

We bought my wife one beginning of the year. We loved it and when my A4 was totaled this summer we bought a second one.

I have a 2022 Q3 that I've had for about a year now and absolutely love it. The only thing I do think they could really improve a bit is the MPG for as small as this vehicle is it doesn't get good gas mileage. I've gotten Q5 loaner vehicles that get better MPGs than my Q3. I really wish Audi would bring the Q3 Sportback to the states as well.

Audi Q3 runs on regular gas while the BMW X1 and MB GLA both require premium gas.

Great interior with a sporty performance without losing the practicality.

Probably better than the current X1, but the new upcoming redone X1 will be a lot better! They do make an RSQ3, both normal and Sportback. I really wish Audi USA would give us both of them!!

Joe, thank you for a great show. Beautiful body styling with the exception of the fake vents, the excellent dash board styling could and should serve as an example to other brands. Without expensive packages this might be a satisfying purchase. I really like it.

I am 16 and got the model q3 2022 last year when I got my permit. Quite the cute and luxurious car. I get my license mid-February. I highly recommend this car as it drives very smoothly.
I have the s-line 2022, navy exterior, brown leather interior, LED lights

Joe, I’m digging this q3. Awesome job you two for being the best in the biz.

I like this ride especially the room in the back and the technology but I have to Zonk the key fob from my '16 GLI and Tiguan R line 😊

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real true and I love the video 👍 merry Christmas to you guys 💯💯💯💯

[embiggens]

Merry Christmas Joe and Lori! Thanks for the great content.

[petertorressr]

You are right. The fake front vents are a bummer and fog lights would of made the front end better. The wheels are nice .The rear was sad to see no dual exhaust. The interior was nice.

[Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my first vehicle! Nice job Joe.

[mystictk]

Merry Christmas Joe an Lori!!! I’m excited for the review but most importantly have a safe and fun day.

[RealKevGotEm]

Merry Christmas Lori and Joe thank you for all your hard work this year. Some amazing car reviews and many laughs!

Agree that it should offer a little more power at this price point, or offer a better engine.
