I agree more standard Colours should be available and a head up drivers display should be Included as well. Great looking SUV particularly In S Line Spec
I own this current model in tdi 150 bhp Quattro. The main point is that this new Q3 is only 1.5 inches smaller than the Q5, same boot space as Q5 and a better ent system touchscreen than Q5. I would advise S line spec. Currently getting 44.4mpg.
Audi wants to extract as much money out of you as possible. With just two standard colours to choose from and any other colour costs extra. I think it is really mean for such premium and expensive car.
CoolHandJoe88 The incremental cost of changing colour is minimal unless they’re building it in a factory with limited paint shop flexibility, adding cost changing colour, and therefore entirely there fault. Hard to imagine Audi manufacturing is so inflexible so I assume it was a sales or marketing decision. Either way it seems like an unnecessary conversation in the sales room. What’s next, paying extra for a fourth wheel?
It is an Audi tradition to sell bare units, baiting buyers in. By the time you add enough 'options', Audi are just insane expensive. I've never found them to be worthy cars.
Here in Canada that blue is one of the standard colors along with white, black and orange. Also it seems we have more standard feature. All Q3 comes with key less entry and panoramic sunroof.
Yes it’s a good car but people are settling for paying 50k for basically a good runabout and forgetting only 15 years ago that’s more than the average house was. Spend a bit more time and save loads buying second hand. And why are people just accepting that most colours are options ?!
jonny5777 before housing boom. Ok maybe 20 years. When the property market worked perfectly. Average house costing 3 times average salary and any working couple could own a house. Any way 47k seems to much for a family run around with flimsy plastics.
Jon Bushell totally agree mate it’s a crazy price. That’s why I never buy a new car because you never actually own it you just rent it from a finance company. Seems daft to me
@SnowboarderandSkier Mazda are well respected here in the UK, in recent years they've stolen sales from the premium brands. I'm adding a link to a depreciation calculator for you. Hope it helps! www.themoneycalculator.com/vehicle-finance/calculators/car-depreciation-by-make-and-model/MAZDA/CX-5/
Then the extra road tax that has to be paid for going over 40k list. Never here that mentioned a lot of people will get caught out with that. It still applies if buying second hand after a year or two
Just wondering if Ginny has ever bought a new car lately / where she's sourcing her information from? Haven't heard Ginny complain about the lack of free colours before yet this is common practice throughout the industry. To use the example rivals to the Q3 - Tiguan has 1 free colour - urano grey. The X1 has 1 free colour - white. The Kadjar has 1 free colour - white. The XC40 has 1 free colour - black. The Qashqai (is it really a rival?) has 1 free colour red. The E-Pace has 2 free colours - black and white. And as for the new Evoke - which five colours are free? According to Land Rover only black and white are free. I believe every colour with SEAT is now free (inc metallics) but of course the list prices went up to compensate - i.e. you're now paying for that once free colour!
HUD really should be standard on all cars nowadays. It really stops you taking your eyes off the road, particularly in Australia where every second intersection has a speed camera.
Audi,Bmw,Lexus, Mercedes. Top cars always. Waiting for Rsq3 or the Sq3 To be honest most people ain't guna examine for plastic feel or less premium under the seat if you ask me that's nit picking.
Just got a brand new S line quattro Q3 2.0 L with 20" , sport package and premium plus package (no navigation) ; white .. out the door $40.8k. We will see what do I really thing of it after a year...?
Does anyone know when in 2020 this is released in the UK 🇬🇧? Available to order ? I’m after the Audi A3 facelift one . So I’m guessing once this is released the A3 facelift will follow ?
VW has to make up for multi-billion diesel gate losses in the US. No surprise prices go up and quality down. £47K - for fanboys only. Far too many other options on the market to be tempted.
Car makers are greedy considering how little they cost to actually manufacture and how much they make on parts down the track, but then again, I don’t care what colour it comes in so long as Ginny is at the wheel.
Sad to hear the Audi still has a slow reacting gear box. It was the same on an 2012 Audi Q3 I owned. I have seen several tests pointing out the same problem. Not new Q3 for me then!
It's an injustice to this vehicle by not taking it off road and not letting potential customers to see its capabilities on the trails. Features of any vehicles are available on line , let the salesman do their job and making a sale.
Would love to see a Collaborated Review between Genny and Matt. About this car, its better to go for a non-premium brand making Premium cars than this one. You are bound to get more for your money and far more equipment as Standard. eg Hyundai Santa Fe.
So in the UK you are getting riped off because I can have an Audi Q3 Progressive S-line with the exact same color and wheels. Comes standard with sunroof, keyless , power lift gate etc for 43k Canadian dollars wich is 25k british pounds.
There should be more color options, 3 to 4+. The cheap plastic feel you showed really bothered me with the kind of HIGH pricing Audi is charging, esp. when there are comparable competitor in this small SUV category. I'm instead looking at the BMW.
Well said about the price tag. Please work on the versions in Pakistan, as they have reduced the options for us and all models of Audi are market with the fixed upgraded options which also feels the same as you described especially in comparison to their hefty prices.
Typical Audi really. Everything is an added extra and you’re very clearly not paying for them to pay designers, given their cars all look exactly like the model before. For the stated £47k you could buy a new X3 30 Msport, bigger, better to drive, faster, much more as standard and just as posh
Only 2 colors? And no even black?! Gosh! And why the heck Audi still doesn’t provide keyless tech for the s-line trim, which is per se quite expensive trim!!! 😡
Stupid money for a car like that. I'm on my 3rd, previous model, Q3 which suits my needs perfectly. My current one is a very low mileage, 340bhp, RS which I got for just over £30k. Probably my best car buying decision in around 50 years behind the wheel. New models are hampered by WLTP regulations, high prices and ridiculous VED tax rates if you dare spend more than £40k on your pride and joy. I was looking forward to the new Q3.......disappointing!
Why refer to BMWX1 all the time? Have you driven an BMW X1 with "X-Drive" in winter conditions? I have! It is totally useless! If one cannot use an suv properly during winter conditions the car is simply not good enough.
What's the warranty on the gear box? Styling is over done, it just looks tacky now. Salesmen and the marketing department will have their work cut out trying to shift these.
Uhhh, you do know that car is a 68 reg, yes? In fact, it was actually registered in JANUARY 2019: so why are you calling it a 2020 Q3, when we are still in 2019, and this car was actually manufactured in 2018? Is this a typo? Or just clickbait to lure unsuspecting viewers in to thinking you had some sort of a scoop on some yet unreleased Audi? This car has been tested to death already - I won't be watching this video, as I hate being conned.
The reason the volume control is placed there is because it's not for the driver, it's for the passenger. The driver can control it from the steering wheel.
yes because everything else is tilted to the driver. Is a nice touch for the passenger, am surprised she had no clue

I’m not hugely fussed about the colour on the outside, when the inside is that gorgeous
Audi seem to be pushing their pricing too high. Fussy styling details don’t equate to the price premium asked.
I agree more standard Colours should be available and a head up drivers display should be Included as well. Great looking SUV particularly In S Line Spec
As an owner of the new Audi Q3,(2019) it is a pleasure to drive this car.
Interesting when mentioning rivals, they didn't mention the tiguan, which is ostensibly the same car for less money!
Tiguan is not premium vehicle, you wanker!
I owned the new Tiguan and it's not the same car!! Yes owned, I have an Audi now.

Totally agree about the price of non standard paints in premium cars. I think it is the reason more people are purchasing Dacia.

The Price Is quite a lot after adding options. The Range Rover Evoque Is a great alternative
Apart from it breaking down and having a clunky infotainment system...
Evoques boring with millions on the road
I love this small suv, but I agree - Audi should offer more colors without a surcharge
It is an Audi tradition to sell bare units, baiting buyers in. By the time you add enough 'options', Audi are just insane expensive. I've never found them to be worthy cars.
Audi's interiors are as pleasant and inviting as the tunnel the coal miners dug under the Chernobyl reactor.
Here in Canada that blue is one of the standard colors along with white, black and orange. Also it seems we have more standard feature. All Q3 comes with key less entry and panoramic sunroof.
In my honest opinion the Q3 n X1 are fucking boring.
Which one is not than? The XC40? The most overhyped car ever.

Like the look of this actually and I’m normally not a fan of Audi cars.
Decent shape improvement, without doubt, the last few models Audi getting greedy with their options and the overall pricing
I'd take a top spec CX5 over this.
Same😃

Great review! Great car, but...
It is expense for what it is indeed. Options are definitely way too expensive for the benefit they bring.
Then the extra road tax that has to be paid for going over 40k list. Never here that mentioned a lot of people will get caught out with that. It still applies if buying second hand after a year or two
The price is ridiculous. Skoda Karoq is half the price and 90% as good.
Premium is always like that...
Does it get more boring than this? God, the new Mercedes GLA can't come soon enough.

You only get 2 free non cost options on the Evoque also in terms of colour
yes, but it's British so they ignore that :P

@@robertsant007 hahaha i like you
Most car makers offers two colors as standard, black and white - non-metallic. Or is it different in the UK?
like your English accent! it enhances the beauty of the Audi at the same time berates the Audi's weak spots.
HUD really should be standard on all cars nowadays. It really stops you taking your eyes off the road, particularly in Australia where every second intersection has a speed camera.

Same standard choice of two colours for my new A5, but only black or white. At least A3 has a more interesting choice!
Why the old type of key ignition - where is the remote key start?
I agree Audi should offer more than two standard colors before they start changing for different colors.

Why? Gime reasons ill buy a crossover
There are 3 standard colours turbo blue, white and orange

If it’s 2020 then why does it have 2018 plates ?
I believe this car was launched in 2018 in the American market. It's coming 2 years late here in Brazil too.
Over priced, and frankly the Q models are to common, bit like A3/A4 were ten years ago.

I almost stopped watching as soon as you stated: you start three review by listing 3 negative things.
A choice of only white or orange is rubbish, they should at least offer black.For what it costs, it doesn't seem very good value.
It feels like a hatchback because it is a hatchback, like the majority of today's so-called "SUVs".
Can we talk about the key ?
