“Stylish, well-built and easy to drive, the Audi Q3 is one of the most popular compact premium crossover/SUV models”

Pros

  • Classy, well-made interior
  • High equipment levels
  • Excellent diesel engines

Cons

  • Merely adequate cabin space
  • Interior lacks versatility
  • Lumpy S line suspension

Roughly as long and wide as a family hatchback, the Audi Q3 Mk1 has proved a success almost despite itself. Compared with some of its key rivals, this compact SUV/crossover/tall hatchback isn’t as entertaining to drive, doesn’t have as much room for passengers or luggage, isn’t as up to date in terms of its technology, and its suspension isn’t as comfortable. And yet… And yet thanks to the cachet attached to the Audi badge, together with the fact that it looks stylish inside and out, the Q3 Mk1 is a popular used car choice, and an expensive one because of that popularity.

For simplicity’s sake we’ll stick to calling the Audi Q3 Mk1 a compact SUV, although not all versions are four-wheel drive and when you’re behind the wheel it does feel a little like a high-rise hatchback. It was launched in the UK towards the end of 2011 and was initially available with a pair of 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines and a pair of 2.0-litre turbodiesels. The Q3 Mk1’s trim grades were as pared back as its range of engines, with just SE and S line to choose from. Depending upon the engine, original buyers also had to decide whether they wanted front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive (quattro, as Audi calls it), and between manual and automatic gearboxes. 

Those original engines and those that followed during the Q3 Mk1’s seven-year lifespan are all smooth, refined and economical. If you drive a reasonable number of miles each year then the superior economy of the diesels will save you money, but if you’re more of an urban driver and you typically don’t go far, then the smallest capacity petrol engine, the 1.4-litre TFSI, is a better bet – it’s cheaper to buy, reasonably parsimonious, performed well and doesn’t suffer the reliability issues that can affect diesels that are cooped up in town for too long.

The fact that the Audi Q3 Mk1 is approximately the same length and width as a family hatchback is a boon for parking and helps ease the transition if you’re moving up from a hatchback, but it does mean that space inside the cabin isn’t generous. If you’re close to six-feet tall then you’ll probably get comfortable easily enough, but you will be aware that the front seat backs are close to your knees and that the headlining isn’t far distant above your head. If you absolutely must, then you can stuff a third person onto the rear seat for short trips, but it will mean you have three unhappy passengers.

The boot is also dimensionally challenged. It’s adequate for everyday use – think pushchair and a family’s supermarket shop – but a week-long holiday to the coast will require intelligent packing and soft cases.

It’s not the role of cars like this to be exciting to drive, but from behind the wheel the Q3 Mk1 has edged too far in the opposite direction, even for owners who don’t care too much about this sort of thing. Its steering is lifeless and its suspension is neither soothingly soft nor sportily firm. On the plus side, your passengers will appreciate that the Q3 Mk1’s body doesn’t lean much through corners, while the four-wheel drive quattro versions do make driving seem safer during the winter season.

If you fancy a livelier driving experience, however, there are two versions of the Q3 Mk1 that will set your pulse racing – the 335bhp RS Q3 and the even more powerful RS Q3 Performance. In common with the mainstream Q3 Mk1s they’re an imperfect pair, but you can’t complain about the brutishness of their outright performance.

What’s the history of the Audi Q3 Mk1?

audi, autos, cars, reviews, audi q3, q3 suv, used cars, used audi q3 review: 2011-2018 (mk1)

First UK deliveries of the Audi Q3 Mk1 began in November 2011, and the range was wonderfully simple. A brace of 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines producing 168bhp and 208bhp and badged TFSI, and a pair of 2.0-litre turbodiesels with power outputs of 138bhp and 175bhp, badged TDI. Quattro four-wheel drive was standard with the two more powerful engines, optional on the lower-powered petrol: the 138bhp diesel was initially front-wheel drive only, but offered the quattro option from July 2012. There were just two trim grades, SE and S line, both well equipped.

Audi launched a very high performance derivative in September 2013, the 335bhp RS Q3, and followed that up in February 2016 with an even more powerful version, the RS Q3 Performance – it had 362bhp and was claimed to do 167mph with a special optional upgrade that removed the standard 155mph limiter.

Of more significance was the January 2014 introduction of the turbocharged petrol 1.4-litre TFSI, which coincided with the demise of the slow-selling 208bhp 2.0 TFSI. It featured cylinder-on-demand technology – in driving conditions where you don’t need full power, it could shut down (automatically and seamlessly) two of its four cylinders to save fuel and lower CO2 emissions. 

In January 2015, revamped versions of the Q3 Mk1 began arriving in UK showrooms. There was a fresh – though evolutionary – look for the front and rear of the car, new alloy wheel designs, and a raft of technology enhancements. The engine range was upgraded, too, with higher power outputs, improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions. 

A shake-up of the trim grades took place in October 2016, although the line-up remained refreshingly simple – Sport, S line Edition and, topping the range, Black Edition. There were also a few small styling tweaks. In November 2018 the Audi Q3 Mk2 made its debut.

Which is the best Audi Q3 Mk1?

Which Q3 Mk1 is best for you depends on what sort of driving you do. If you’re travelling 15,000 miles or more each year, with a good mix of urban streets, A-roads and motorways, then the 148bhp 2.0-litre TDI turbodiesel is ideal. It’s powerful, quiet, returns up to 61.4mpg, and its 119g/km CO2 emissions output puts it into a low band for annual road tax. The 181bhp version of the same engine gives you extra performance, but it’s more expensive to buy and you lose out on economy and emissions. Equally, the earlier 138bhp and 175bhp versions of these engines are just as suitable and usually cost less to buy.

If most of your driving is around town and you don’t clock up a lot of miles annually, then the turbocharged petrol 1.4-litre TFSI is a better choice than a diesel. It’s cheaper to buy and while its performance isn’t sparkling, it’s adequate for urban traffic. Plus, the 1.4 TFSI does 47.9mpg – not as great as the TDI, but remember unleaded is less expensive than diesel. 

Another reason for recommending a petrol engine for town driving is to do with the bugbear of many a diesel – the Diesel Particulate Filter, or DPF. The DPF removes harmful particulates from the exhaust, but from time to time the system needs to burn off those particulates, which requires more heat than the engine can muster during city driving. A clogged DPF can cause serious, and expensive, problems for the engine.

Thrill-seekers won’t need telling to turn their attention to the high performance RS models. The ‘regular’ RS Q3 has more than enough performance for a car of this type – 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds, 155mph – but if you’re going to indulge in something this outrageous, why not go the whole hog and save up for the 362bhp RS Q3 Performance…

In terms of selecting a trim grade, the SE provides everything you need, it’s good value, and it’s prolific. Even the early models are fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights and wipers, aluminium roof rails, Bluetooth connection for your phone, and an infotainment system with a retractable colour screen. 

The S line model arguably looks better with its body kit, 18-inch alloys and sportier interior, but bear in mind it’s also equipped with lowered, firmer suspension that gives it a harsh ride quality. If you’re prepared to do a lot of research, you might find one of the very few examples of the S line that was optionally fitted with the SE’s softer suspension, so you get the looks but with a better driving experience.

Four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive? There’s some kudos in saying that your Q3 Mk1 is a quattro, and if you drive out in the countryside during the winter months you’ll value the extra traction and feeling of security you get from four-wheel drive, but it can harm your fuel consumption by around 5mpg. 

Manual or automatic gearbox? That’s an easier question to answer: automatic, if you can stretch to it. You can scarcely feel Audi’s DSG automatic changing gear, and it is almost always in the right gear at the right time, regardless of how and where you’re driving. It even offers you the facility to change gears yourself, using paddles at the back of the steering wheel. Beyond the sheer convenience of an automatic, the DSG gearbox provides better performance and fuel economy than changing for yourself.

What are the alternatives?

The Audi Q3 Mk1 is a prestige model and it has some equally upmarket competition – the Range Rover Evoque, BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA  are its most direct rivals. However, if you look beyond the badge and take into account good value, then your shortlist should also include the Volkswagen Tiguan, Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and Renault Kadjar.

Pre-facelift

Facelift

While the Q3 Mk1 may be roughly the length and width of a family hatchback, it’s a taller vehicle and therefore heavier – in that context, fuel economy of up to 62.8mpg for the best of the diesels and 51.4mpg from the most frugal of the petrol engines isn’t bad going. As a consequence, CO2 emissions for most of the range are comparatively modest, meaning road tax won’t be too painful: for some diesel models it’s as low as £30 annually. 

Your Q3 Mk1 needs servicing annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first, and it alternates between an oil change service and one that involves changing oil, fuel and pollen filters and a complete vehicle inspection. Audi dealers offer a two-year service plan for Q3 Mk1s between 3 and 15 years old, which costs about £500. For that you get a minor and a major service, two MoTs, two years’ warranty and two years’ roadside assistance. Servicing will cost much less from an independent garage, but you won’t get the warranty or roadside assistance.

Less easy on the wallet are the RS models – their fuel consumption barely scrapes over 30mpg, their high emissions means they cost £340 a year to tax, and servicing costs are much steeper. And because of their extreme performance, brakes and tyres will both need replacing more frequently and at a higher cost.

How much do Audi Q3 Mk1s cost?

The popularity of the Q3 Mk1 means that used examples hold on to their value quite well. You can find early cars down around the £10,000 mark, sometimes a bit lower, but typically they will have 100,000 miles or more on the clock.

Cars with 50-80,000 miles or so are in the mid to high teens, but lower mileage Q3 Mk1s creep up beyond £20,000. The well-equipped Black Edition models attract a hefty premium regardless of mileage – expect to pay anything between £24,000 and £28,000 for a good one. RS models sit in the £20,000 to £30,000 price bracket.

What’s it like for fuel economy, emissions and tax?

If you’re looking to get the most miles from every gallon, then the clear winner is the 148bhp 2.0 TDI turbodiesel. In front-wheel drive form it achieves a combined fuel consumption figure of up to 62.8mpg (using the older NEDC system of measurement). For four-wheel drive quattro versions the figure falls back to 57.6mpg, but that still tops any other model in the range.

The more powerful 182bhp TDI engine is claimed to give up 55.4mpg, while the 1.4-litre TFSI petrol engine is capable of up to an excellent 51.4mpg, thanks in part to its clever Cylinder-on-Demand system that automatically cuts out two of its four cylinders when there’s a chance to save fuel and reduce emissions. 

The less powerful 2.0 TDI engines found in pre-facelift cars aren’t quite as efficient as the newer units, with both 138bhp and 175bhp versions delivering claimed figures of around 50mpg.

At best the 2.0 TFSI petrol returns 42.8mpg, while the high performance RS models officially claim 32.8mpg but when driven to their full potential deliver much, much less.

The front-wheel drive 148bhp TDI’s winning performance at the pumps is mirrored in the CO2 emissions table, where some versions produce as little as 117g/km, qualifying them for just £30 annual road tax. None of the other engines come close to matching that emissions output, but even so, most Q3 Mk1s that were registered before 1 April 2017 cost £155 to tax, some 1.4 TFSIs slightly less, some 182bhp TDIs slightly more. Again, the older diesels feature slightly higher emissions, and cost a little more to tax.

Tax for cars registered after 1 April 2017 is governed by their CO2 emissions, and with a range that spans 152g/km to 179g/km depending on the trim grade, the 178bhp 2.0 TFSI will cost between £210 and £275 annually. The later RS models are also penalised for their high emissions, and because they cost more than £40,000 when new, they were clobbered with a luxury car surcharge, too, taking the total to nearly £700 annually for the first five years. However, even the newest examples are approaching that age, so the bill should revert to £340.

How much will the Audi Q3 Mk1 cost to insure?

From an insurance company’s perspective, premium brand cars such as Audi cost a lot to replace and repair, which is why they’re placed in high insurance groups. The Q3 Mk1 sits in groups 18 to 38 out of 50.

Many modern cars are plagued with common problems, but the Q3 Mk1 is refreshingly free of large-scale infuriation – there are, of course, rogue examples out there with multiple annoying faults, yet they appear to be the exceptions. It’s also reassuring to learn that the Q3 Mk1 has to date been subject to just the one official recall.

Are there any common problems and things to look at?

The Audi Q3 Mk1 is remarkably reliable on the whole, but there are things to be aware of. As with all modern cars, diesel versions of the Q3 Mk1 are fitted with a diesel particulate filter, or DPF, that removes hazardous particles from the exhaust gas and stores them for disposal. The disposal method involves a high-temperature burning process, achieved when the engine is hot for a prolonged period. 

Diesels driven predominantly around town and comparatively sedately don’t get hot enough for this burning, or ‘regeneration’ to take place, which ultimately leads to the DPF becoming clogged and triggering faults with the engine. Also, if the burning off process is incomplete when you turn off the engine, particles can fall into the engine oil and in time raise the oil level sufficiently that it can damage the engine. 

So if you're considering a used diesel-engined Q3 Mk1, ask how and where it has been driven, and check the oil level. A warning will come up on the dashboard if the DPF is full, at which point you will need to drive the car for at least 15 minutes at more than 40mph to clean it out.

Although not commonplace, there have been issues with the Q3 Mk1’s DSG automatic gearbox, involving both its internal components and software. Cars likely to be affected have usually been fixed by now, but take an extended test drive to check that the gearchanges are super-smooth, including when you shift gears manually using the paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel. Repairs or replacement of the DSG can be financially crippling.

There are reports of a few isolated problems with manual gearboxes, too, so make sure the gear lever moves easily and swiftly between gears and that the clutch action is smooth. And while you’re checking things, ensure that the satnav works as it should – a small number of owners have had the unit fail and paid £2,000 to replace it.

What about recalls?

There has been just the one recall to date for the Q3 Mk1, issued for cars made between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2018, to fix a glitch where the brake lights went out when the electric handbrake was applied.

Not a recall as such, but in 2016 Audi provided a software update for cars fitted with TDI diesel engines, to remedy the fact that their NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions were too high. There are some reports of engines not running properly after the upgrade, and of worse fuel consumption.

What do owners think?

In our 2017 Driver Power survey of owner satisfaction, the Audi Q3 Mk1 placed 41st out of 75 for reliability, with 14% of owners who responded reporting that they’d experienced a problem with their car at least once. For overall ownership satisfaction the Q3 Mk1 came an impressive 13th out of 75.

‘Nearly but not quite’ is the story of the Q3 Mk1 driving experience. Nearly but not quite comfortable because the ride quality is a touch too firm and agitated. Nearly but not quite sporty because the steering isn’t direct enough and a tad lifeless. On a more positive note, the body doesn’t lean much through corners and there’s plenty of grip from the tyres.

To clarify, though, we’re not suggesting that the Q3 Mk1 is awful to drive. And its deficiencies may not seem great enough to you that you change your decision to buy one. But if you were also to test drive a rival BMW X1, you’d realise that the Audi could be much better.

The powerful RS models are a little more engaging to drive, but not by much. Their appeal lies in their ability to cover ground extremely quickly and securely, thanks to their powerful engines, all-wheel drive traction and strong grip.

The Q3 Mk1 is very quiet inside, however, and its relatively compact external dimensions ensure that it doesn’t feel cumbersome in the traffic or when you’re parking. All its engines are refined, and even the least powerful of them, the 138bhp version of the 2.0 TDI turbodiesel, delivers eager performance. 

The sporty-looking S line and S line Plus models feature lowered, stiffer suspension which can feel rather too unforgiving to some people – go for a long test drive to make sure you can live with it.

Which engine should I choose?

For an all-round combination of refinement, performance, great fuel economy and low CO2 emissions, as well as good value and a plentiful supply, the 138/148bhp 2.0 TDI turbodiesel is the pick of the crop. Yes, the extra punch from the 175/182bhp version of the same engine is always nice to have, especially if you frequently lug up and down motorways or tow a caravan or trailer, but you seldom feel the performance deficit of the lower powered models, plus they’re cheaper to run.

In the early days of the Q3 Mk1 there was a 208bhp 2.0 TFSI petrol engine, but buyers treated it with such indifference that it was dropped through lack of interest. The 178bhp version of that engine lived on: it’s pleasant enough and performs quite well, but if you’re going for a petrol engine then the turbocharged 1.4 TFSI is the one to have. Despite being just a 1.4-litre, it produces the peak of its pulling power – or torque – between 1,750rpm and 3,000rpm, which means you don’t have to rev it hard to access the best of its performance.  The 1.4 TFSI also features Cylinder-on-Demand technology which can automatically shut down two of the engine’s four cylinders, when appropriate, to the benefit of fuel economy and emissions – some models with this engine give up to 51.4mpg.

Speed addicts are catered for by the RS Q3 and RS Q3 Performance models with their 2.5-litre turbocharged in-line five-cylinder petrol engines. Producing 335bhp in the standard car and 362bhp in the Performance model, this engine is all about furious thrust. It will easily match the most powerful hot hatchbacks for outright performance, while the growl from the powerful turbocharged engine never fails to raise a smile.

You can’t talk about the Q3 Mk1’s comfort without mentioning the ride quality, which is a little jittery. Interior space is also merely adequate, with those over six foot tall feeling particularly cramped in the back. However, the cabin is very well insulated from engine, tyre and wind noise, and you can’t help but be impressed by how solidly built it is. Nicely textured soft-touch plastics on the dashboard and along the top of the door trims add to the overall sense of sophistication, while a wealth of standard equipment makes life inside the Q3 Mk1 convenient and relaxing.

What’s the Audi Q3 Mk1 like inside?

Its footprint is akin to that of a family hatchback but as an SUV the Q3 Mk1 is much taller, so when you climb up behind the multi-function, leather-trimmed steering wheel you get a commanding view of the road ahead. There’s a good range of adjustments for the seat and steering wheel, so you should quickly be able to find a comfortable driving position, but the actual space for the driver is a bit cramped for larger people, in part because of the broad centre console.

Relatively thin windscreen pillars help visibility, but the rear window is quite small and the car’s rearmost extremity juts out a fair distance beyond it, so you’ll be thankful that rear parking sensors are standard across the Q3 Mk1 range. The interior design is classy and the quality of the materials used inside is first rate, particularly the neatly-grained soft-touch plastics on the dashboard and door trim tops. The knurled alloy knobs for the stereo volume and heating controls are wonderfully tactile, too, while overall build quality is outstanding.

The Q3 Mk1 lacks the full digital instrumentation that is fast becoming the norm for this type of car (and others), but its analogue speedometer and rev counter clearly laid out and easily read, while between them sits a small digital screen that can display a multitude of information about the car.  The 6.5-inch colour display for the car’s infotainment system, which Audi calls MMI (multi-media interface), features the neat ability to retract into the top of the dashboard at the touch of a button. Depending on the model, the screen shows information about the audio system, your telephone connection, and the map for the satnav.

What’s on the equipment list?

Even the Q3 Mk1’s entry-level trim, the SE, is packed with goodies – dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity for your smartphone, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, aluminium roof rails, and a retractable colour screen for the MMI (multi-media interface) infotainment system. Following a shake-up of the trim grades in October 2016 the SE became the Sport, gaining an SD card-based satnav system with voice recognition, together with a mild facelift at the front. 

Do you need any more kit than is offered on the SE/Sport? Not really. Would you like more? Perhaps. The S line – which later became the S line Navigation and then the S line Edition – features a neat-looking body kit, lowered sports suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights and LED tail lights, model-specific interior trim details, and sports seats. Satnav joined its specification as part of ongoing upgrades, while the later S line Edition featured the addition of an audio-visual parking aid.

The S line Plus of 2015 featured sat nav and cruise control, and it was replaced by the Black Edition in October 2016 as the Q3 Mk1’s range topper. As its name suggests, the Black Edition features gloss black exterior trim, as well as standard metallic paint, rear privacy glass, a Bose premium sound system, and leather and Alcantara (faux suede) upholstery. 

If you’re considering an S line or Black Edition, then look out for an example with optional computer controlled variable dampers – this system alters how soft or firm the suspension is depending on driving conditions and how you set them, and they take the sting out of those models’ otherwise firm sports suspension.

A worthwhile option to keep an eye open for is the Technology Pack, which includes a hard-drive for music storage, a more advanced 3D satnav system, and digital TV. On the list of optional safety equipment for the Q3 Mk1 are a blind-spot warning system and lane-keeping assistance. And cars fitted with optional xenon-plus headlights could be further upgraded with adaptive headlight technology that shines around corners and automatically dips high-beam when it senses oncoming traffic.

How safe is the Audi Q3 Mk1?

When crash tested by the Euro NCAP safety organisation the Q3 Mk1 achieved the maximum five stars rating. Within that impressive result it scored 94% for adult occupant crash protection, 85% for child occupants, and 86% for safety assistance systems.  However, bear in mind that the Q3 was tested in 2011, when the assessment wasn’t as tough as it is today.

Among its standard safety equipment the Q3 Mk1 features six airbags, electronic stability control and ISOFIX child seat mounting points, while optionally available are a speed limiter, rear side airbags, lane-keeping assistance (to prevent you veering inadvertently from your lane), blind-spot monitoring (to alert you to the presence other road users you can’t see in your outside mirrors), hill descent control (to prevent the car picking up excessive speed downhill) and hill hold assistance (so you don’t roll back into another car when setting off on a slope).

Because the Q3 Mk1 has the external footprint of a family hatchback, it feels decidedly cosy inside for an SUV. That said, as long as they’re not too tall, four adults can travel in comfort. The boot is also more snug than you might imagine for an SUV – it’ll accommodate a bulky pushchair and a week’s worth of supermarket shopping, but if four of you are going away on holiday, you may need to travel lighter than you’d like.

How big is the Audi Q3 Mk1?

If you’re wondering whether it will fit into your garage, the length of the Q3 Mk1 ranges from 4,385mm to 4,411mm, depending on the version. Widths range from 1,831mm to 2,019mm, while the Sport models are 1,585mm tall and the rest are 1,608mm.

How much space is there for passengers?

Passengers under six-feet tall sitting in the back will have adequate room for their head, knees, feet and shoulders. However, taller occupants will be very aware of the close proximity of the front seatbacks to their knees and the looming presence of the headlining above them. 

Despite being quite compact, the cabin still manages to feel reasonably airy. Until you place a third passenger in the back, that is. The person in the middle will appreciate a lift back from the shops when it’s raining, but any further than that and the centre seat is too uncomfortable – shoulder-room is cramped and there’s very little space for your feet because of the hump (transmission tunnel) in the middle of the floor.

Parents will be pleased to learn that there are ISOFIX child seat mounts in the two outer rear seats, as well as the front passenger seat.

In terms of oddments space, the Q3 Mk1 offers large rear door bins, front door bins, a cubby between the front seats, a cupholder on the centre console, and a refrigerated glovebox – handy for keeping your drinks cool and stopping your chocolate from melting. 

How big is the boot?

At 420 litres, the Q3 Mk1’s boot space is large enough for daily life – carrying kids’ clobber, supermarket shopping trips, hauling the dogs around, a family weekend away. Witness how much space one large suitcase occupies inside it, however, and you’ll be reassessing how many clothes you really need to take on your annual holiday to Cornwall. 

Luggage space swells to 1,352 litres when you fold down the rear seats, but annoyingly they don’t fold completely flat and there’s a lip where they meet the boot floor. That makes it frustrating when you’re trying to slide something long and heavy all the way into the luggage area.

Curiously the Q3 Mk1’s rear seat only has a 60:40 split – rivals’ seats split 40:20:40 so that you can carry a long, thin item, such as a pair of skis, in the middle and still have two rear passengers.
