on the face of it it appears that this
[9]
Audi q3 has all the right ingredients
[11]
for success it has a premium badge good
[14]
quality interior and raised ride height
[17]
with excellent forward visibility which
[19]
is exactly what family buyers are
[22]
looking for and it's a small SUV which
[25]
is one of the largest markets around
[27]
travel he is the size of that market
[30]
means competition is tough just three of
[33]
the rivals are BMW x1 Volkswagen Tiguan
[36]
and Range Rover Evoque so can the Audi
[40]
q3 still cuss it or has it lost its day
[43]
to find out we'll start by taking it on
[46]
the UK roads for a small car there's
[51]
actually a big choice of engines
[53]
available from a small 1.4 liter petrol
[56]
up to a 2 litre and 2.5 litre petrol
[60]
plus a pair of 2-liter diesels it's the
[63]
lower powered diesel option that we've
[65]
got fitted at this car and if you do any
[68]
motorway miles is the one that we
[69]
ultimately recommend because it's smooth
[72]
has enough power delivery to cope with a
[75]
fully loaded car and is relatively
[77]
economical
[79]
even on its standard suspension the q3
[82]
offers a comfortable ride at all speeds
[84]
in fact this is the setup to go for
[86]
because the one fitted to the pricier
[88]
s-line models is less forgiving as you
[92]
might expect
[93]
raising the ride height of any card
[95]
doesn't do any favours to its handling
[97]
that said compared with its SUV rivals
[101]
the q3 does pretty well it has plenty of
[105]
grip through the corners and keeps its
[108]
body
[108]
well controlled the petrol engines are
[112]
quieter than the diesels and aside from
[115]
some small vibrations sent back into the
[118]
interior overall refinement is good go
[122]
for the 6-speed manual gearbox and
[124]
you'll enjoy some precise well weighted
[127]
changes while the S tronic automatic
[131]
we've got here is largely quick and
[134]
smooth like the best our DS the q3 has
[139]
the kind of interior that oozes quality
[142]
everything you touch feels solid and
[145]
there are plenty of soft touch materials
[148]
you won't have any trouble getting comfy
[151]
either because there's plenty of
[153]
adjustment in this seat and the steering
[156]
wheel can be moved for reach and break
[161]
which is great and even the entry-level
[163]
versions have got adjustable lumbar
[165]
support and you can even alter the
[168]
height of the armrest although if you're
[170]
only five foot four and a half it's not
[172]
really that much good every version of
[176]
the key three gets this retractable 6.5
[178]
inch color screen you get da B radio and
[181]
Bluetooth a standard sat-nav is an
[184]
optional extra what you can't get though
[186]
is apple carplay smartphone mirroring
[188]
and Audi's virtual cockpit instrument
[191]
display so let's see how easy it is to
[194]
set a destination in that optional
[195]
sat-nav and pair my mobile phone okay
[199]
let's start by setting
[202]
destination in the son of if we go to
[206]
address scroll up here let's go
[215]
somewhere and in Portsmouth
[227]
okay so we've got Portsmouth okay let's
[231]
add a street let's go to High Street
[243]
my street
[245]
house number
[247]
100 if I exists
[251]
yes it does excellent
[258]
start reached guidance what is being
[261]
calculated well that was quite easy to
[265]
use next up let's my mobile phone ok
[271]
search for new mobile make sure my
[274]
bluetooth is on Bluetooth quite a few
[278]
cars there I might have to have a bit of
[280]
a clear-out find Bluetooth devices ok
[286]
waiting waiting waiting waiting
[293]
[Music]
[299]
ah Rebecca's iPhone on that hands-free
[304]
yes
[306]
the connection is being established
[307]
please wait Pere hands-free yes yes that
[315]
code matches your connection is being
[318]
established
[324]
excellent we are connected even if
[329]
you're tall you'll have plenty of space
[331]
in the front of the q3 and these door
[333]
bins are large enough for a big bottle
[336]
of water plus you've got two cupholders
[338]
here some more storage here for everyday
[342]
bits and bobs move back here and it's
[353]
not quite so spacious there's not much
[356]
more room than you'd get in the back of
[357]
a family hatchback in fact a BMW x1 does
[360]
have more space although there's decent
[363]
sized door bins that's where I've put my
[365]
umbrella and you can reasonably
[367]
comfortably sit two adults back here but
[370]
three will be a bit of a squeeze the q3
[375]
s boot is smaller than that of the
[377]
Mercedes GLA however in reality it's the
[380]
Audi's boot that's easier to live with
[382]
because it has a wider opening and
[384]
although this boot floor is not
[385]
adjustable there is a little bit of
[388]
storage space underneath and if you'd
[390]
like to turn your outie q3 into a van
[392]
all you do is press this button here and
[396]
Q camera trickery the audi q3 is a
[402]
premium car so it don't look expensive
[405]
when compared with the set attacker or
[407]
Nissan Qashqai that said up against a
[410]
Mercedes GLA or BMW x1 is priced
[413]
competitively and with strong residuals
[416]
PCP finance deals are rather tempting
[419]
which team are recommended 2 litre
[422]
diesel engine with SE specification this
[425]
may be the entry level trim but it still
[428]
gets you everything you're likely to
[429]
want including 17-inch alloy wheels dual
[432]
zone climate control and rear parking
[435]
sensors and when it comes to safety the
[438]
Audi q3 received a full 5 star rating
[441]
when it was tested back in 2011 the Audi
[445]
q3 is good to drive compact and
[448]
inexpensive to run so if you're looking
[451]
for a comfortable small
[452]
SUV with a premium badge it definitely
[455]
deserves to be on your short list and if
[458]
you are thinking of buying one hectare
[460]
