Pros & cons

Audi Q3

AWD traction boosts confidence in winter and mixed-weather driving.
Efficient for its class, with 6.1 L/100 km combined consumption.
Five seats and a 530-liter trunk support family life and weekend trips.
Priced at 35,000, it represents good value in its segment.
Modest acceleration (0–100 km/h in 8.3 s) and 150 hp won’t satisfy performance-focused drivers.
Cargo capacity isn’t a standout if you frequently haul bulky gear.
Petrol-only powertrain—no hybrid or EV efficiency in this spec.
AWD capability may be unnecessary if you mostly drive in mild climates.
