Audi Q3 / Q3 Sportback (F3 – Model Year 2025) 

Audi’s core compact SUV gets a mid-cycle update: 3-D grille, tweaked bumpers, Matrix LEDs standard on S-line, faster MIB 3 infotainment (10.1-inch touch), and the 12.3-inch Digital Cockpit. Platform remains MQB-evo; ground clearance 170 mm; Sportback adds a coupé tail.

PRO

  • City-usable size with class-leading cabin & boot (530 L).

  • Lively yet frugal 1.5 TFSI 48 V; robust 35 TDI for heavy mileage.

  • Plug-in 45 TFSI e delivers ~52 km electric, DC 50 kW option.

  • Genuine quattro grip on snow and gravel.

  • Improved ride with optional adaptive dampers; low cabin noise.

  • Full ADAS pack now standard on Business trim.

  • Strong resale values (~72 % after 3 yr for 35 TDI quattro S-line).

CON

  • PHEV weight (1 850 kg) blunts EV range on motorway.

  • Firm ride on 20-inch S-line wheels.

  • Price balloons with Matrix LEDs, B&O, pano roof.

  • Touch sliders for climate polarise users.

  • 45 TFSI needs regular 0.4 L oil top-ups / 4 000 km.

Verdict

Still Audi’s sweet-spot SUV: roomy, premium-feeling and tech-updated while staying city-friendly. The 35 TFSI mild-hybrid is the balanced pick; the 45 TFSI e makes sense for commuters with home charging, whereas alpine drivers will value the 35 TDI quattro. A firm ride on big wheels and steep option prices remain caveats, but overall the Q3 stays one of the segment’s most complete premium crossovers—though dynamic thrill-seekers or screen lovers might veer toward BMW’s X1/iX1, Volvo’s XC40, or the fully electric Q4 e-tron.
