In the Q3 Sportback, Audi introduces a racier version of its newest upcoming Q3 small SUV, and it's bound to attract plenty of admirers since it gives up very little in the way of space.
Pros Like a perfectly scaled-down Audi Q8 Great looks inside and out Premium cabin with new levels of detail and trim work Fun to drive (both engines) 45 TFSI feels like a proper hot hatch in the corners Good ride comfort with adaptive dampers Good safety and tech
Cons There's a big gap in performance between the 35–45 TFSI Expect a similar-size gap in prices, too
The Audi Q3 Sportback is a more stylish alternative to your average boxy SUV, although others are more fun to drive and have more room for passengers.
Pros Big boot Stylish looks Plenty of standard equipment
Cons Cramped back seats Alternatives are more fun to drive Automatic gearbox is a bit sluggish
The 2020 Audi Q3 blends practicality, quality, and fun in a chunky but city-friendly package.
Pros Lots of standard tech… Punchy turbo engine Hot hatchback handling Standard all-wheel drive
Cons …But best features cost a lot more Lackluster fuel economy Gets expensive fast
The Volkswagen ID 4 is a decent electric car with a practical interior, an excellent safety score and a good range (especially with the 77kWh battery). However, the best rivals are faster, smarter inside, have much better infotainment systems and take less time to charge. The Pro Performance Style is our pick of the range, and we'd avoid the pricey Max and GTX versions.
Pros Lots of space in the back and a big boot Excellent Euro NCAP safety score Well equipped
Cons Poor infotainment and dashboard usability Not fast by class standards Heavier depreciation than many rivals
Pros Modern-looking interior Spacious in the back Comfortable to drive
Cons Boot has annoyingly high lip Top versions quite expensive Some tech seems glitchy
