What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the third-generation Q3 is tidy to drive, practical thanks to its sliding rear seats and easy to use, with a broad engine range in which the long-range plug-in hybrid stands out. The common criticisms are a firm ride, especially at low speeds, cabin plastics that feel less premium than before and high prices once options are added.
