AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between the Audi Q3 and the Audi Q3 Sportback comes down to whether you prefer a traditional small SUV profile or a swoopy silhouette. Both share identical interior traits, from door bins that are quite small to cabin displays that look cheap set against extensive black plastic surrounds. In both cars, the rear seats are best suited to two passengers, as the middle spot is compromised by a hard seat base and a large floor hump. Across both ranges, the base-model petrol engine is slow, whereas the top-tier 265hp four-wheel drive petrol version is genuinely good fun to guide along twisting country lanes.
