Comfortable small crossover

Small crossovers are popular because they straddle the best of both worlds, providing plenty of interior space in a small package. The 2015 Audi Q3 adds another benefit to the small crossover mix: comfort. The A3 offers a smooth ride and 12-way adjustable front seats that will keep you comfortable on daily commutes and long roadtrips. Luxury is standard on the Q3, so you’ll enjoy a panoramic sunroof, heated leather seats, push-button start, and a generally upscale, stylish cabin feel.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Audi Q3

1. It’s city-sized 

If you regularly drive in the city and need to parallel park like a pro, you’ll like that the 2015 Audi Q3 makes your days a bit easier due to its compact city sizing. The 2015 Q3 is just over 14 feet long from bumper to bumper, about 10 inches shorter than the Audi Q5. That makes it easier to maneuver into even the tightest parking spots.  

2. Practical storage 

Whether you’re hauling groceries or baby gear, the 2015 Audi Q3 offers a practical cargo hold. There’s 16.2 cu-ft of cargo space behind the rear seats, but with the seats folded flat the cargo area increases to 48.2 cu-ft. The rear bench seat offers a 40-60 folding option, so you can utilize extra cargo space and still have passenger seating in the back. The available power liftgate makes loading easier when you have your hands full.  

3. Available all-wheel drive 

Navigating snowy roads will be a bit less stressful, thanks to the 2015 Audi Q3’s available all-wheel drive system. The system, known as Quattro, can be paired with either one of the 2015 Q3’s two trims. Both trims come standard with a 200-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine.  

4. Sports package 

If you chose a crossover for practical reasons, you can still have fun behind the wheel with the available sports package on the 2015 Audi Q3. The package, available on the Prestige trim, adds sports seats, paddle-shifters, and a drive select system that lets you tweak handling and responsiveness. With the sports package, mountain drives and daily commutes become a bit more lively.  

5. Luxury touches 

Whether you’re off to go sailing or picking up a date for dinner, you’ll arrive in style in the 2015 Audi Q3. Leather seats are standing, and they’re heated in front. A standard panoramic sunroof lets you take in the stars or blue sky, while the well-designed cabin adds to the Q3’s luxury feel.
