Audi Q3

Our pick: Audi Q3 1.5 TFSI from S$253,445 with COE (September 2023)

Audi’s contender in this segment is the Q3, and it stands unique in that it is the only one that offers two variants, a regular SUV-styled model, and a swoopy Sportback version that features sleek coupe-style looks.

The latest generation model was introduced in 2019, and received a slight revision in 2022, with the introduction of new mild hybrid powertrains that promised class-leading efficiency, along with all the usual Teutonic goodness that one would expect from an Audi.

The key highlight of the updated Q3 is the 1.5-litre powerplant with mild hybrid technology that develops 150hp and 250Nm of torque, and offers a claimed fuel efficiency figure of 6.9L/100km. In reality though, with careful driving, one can easily best that figure, as CarBuyer demonstrated in Audi’s fuel economy challenge back in late 2022.

Unfortunately, the power figure means that the Q3 gets bumped into COE Category B, but that doesn’t seem to have impacted the Audi significantly in terms of price, given that the non-Sportback version retails for just over 250 grand with COE (as of September 2023), or just about on par with its key rivals like the BMW X1.

And it’s not like you lose a great deal over its competitors too. The Q3 is fairly well-equipped, with safety features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and a 360 degree camera all standard here. Interior room is also generous, as is the 530-litre capacity boot that just about matches the best in class.

But perhaps the Q3’s most appealing trait is its breadth of variety. Aside from the standard SUV, you can also have your Q3 in the aforementioned Sportback flavour with the same powerplant for about 10 grand more. If you have lots more dosh to spunk however and want ferocious power, there’s the RS Q3 (and its equivalent Sportback model) which will set you back in excess of 400 grand with COE. Essentially, there’s a Q3 available for any taste and budget.
