ABOUT THE 2025 AUDI Q3 S-LINE QUATTRO
The 2025 Audi Q3 S line quattro is a compact premium SUV from the second-generation Q3 (F3), with five doors and five seats. In the US it uses the 45 TFSI 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, rated at 228 hp and 258 lb-ft, with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic and quattro all-wheel drive.
Late in the second generation
The second-generation Q3 launched in the US for 2019, bringing a larger body, more rear space and a far more modern interior than the first model. By 2025 it was in the later stages of its life, with an all-new third-generation Q3 revealed for Europe. US cars of this generation are built at Audi’s plant in Győr, Hungary. The S line package adds sportier bumpers, side sills and wheel designs rather than extra power.
What it is like
The Q3 sits below the Q5 in Audi’s SUV line-up and is easy to park and manoeuvre. The rear seat slides fore and aft, letting owners trade legroom for boot space, and the backrests fold to create a flat load area. Unlike many rivals, it uses a conventional torque-converter automatic, which is smooth at low speeds. The Audi virtual cockpit digital display is standard.
Buying one today
Check for a complete service history and that the infotainment and driver-assistance features work properly. On 2.0 TFSI engines of this family, coolant leaks from the water pump and thermostat housing are a commonly reported issue.
Rivals
The Q3 competed with the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40.
