Audi RS Q3 (F3)

Subcompact Crossover

Product Overview

Audi RS Q3 (Type F3) is the performance variant of the Mk2 Q3 subcompact crossover in production from 2019. It is available powered by a single turbocharged inline-5 engine that displaced 2.5 liters.

Essentially, the Mk2 RS Q3 is just a jacked-up RS 3. However, with the fat of the crossover form factor plus bigger wheels (unsprung weight) and higher center of gravity, the RS Q3 has worse handling and ride comfort.

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Off-the-line performance is pulsating, and the 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder noise reverberates around the cabin while pulling so strongly up to the 7,000rpm redline. Accessing the performance is made easier with the arrival of a new RS button on the steering wheel. Top speed is limited to 155mph - upped to 174mph on request. Ceramic front brakes are an expensive optional extra, but they only really make sense on track, where few RS Q3s will venture.

Pros

Powerful turbocharged engine
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Not as fun as it once was
Lacklustre transmission
