MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Audi Q3 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

1. 2024 Audi Q3 40 TFSI Quattro (2.0T All-Wheel Drive)

• Base Price: $37,400
• MPG Combined: 25
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 184 
• Torque: 221 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 8.6 sec
• Weight: 3,902 lbs

Interestingly, the entry-level Q3, which comes standard with all-wheel drive, costs the same as the all-wheel drive A3 sedan, so you can take your pick of bodystyles for the same price. Just be ready for leisurely acceleration (you don't often see luxury SUVs doing 0-60 in the mid-8-second range) if you pick the Q3, which weighs more and makes less power.

2. 2024 Audi Q3 45 TFSI Quattro (2.0T All-Wheel Drive)

• Base Price: $39,800
• MPG Combined: 23
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 228 
• Torque: 251 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 7.1 sec
• Weight: 3,913 lbs
• Length: 176.6 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

Audi neuters the 2.0T engine in the base Q3 40 TFSI so that you'll be tempted to upgrade to the 45 TFSI, and you should definitely give in to that temptation. Utilizing the same basic engine, the 45 TFSI unlocks more output and spanks the 40 TFSI to 60 mph by more than a second and a half. That's big value for $2,400 extra to start.
