New in 2021

There are two key changes for the Q3 in 2021. The first is that one of the trims that existed in previous years, the Prestige, is no longer available. The other is that the lane departure warning feature is now standard and included on all trim levels.

Performance

The 2021 Q3 has a V4 engine with a turbocharger that drives 228 horsepower with an automatic transmission that has eight speeds. It's a powerful and fun to drive engine that feels great on the highway when you are revving up to pass someone. In terms of gas mileage, it gets 27 miles per gallon on highways and 19 on city roads. The handing feels smooth and agile, which is refreshing on an SUV, and all the trims come with all-wheel drive so that you get the best traction and weather preparedness from Detroit to Troy, MI.

Interior and Exterior

The exterior style of the Q3 is, in a word, cool. Its got an aggressive grille with smooth lines and a classic Continental flow. The interior is modern and sleek. The soft materials and upholstery are attractive and comfortable, so it strikes a balance between looking good and feeling good. The Q3 is loaded with tech and an excellent touchscreen with vibration feedback to control all of it through the well-designed user interface. This cuts down on time spent hunting through menus and screens for the feature or the control you want.

Trims

The Q3 has a simple trim lineup. It used to have three trims, and now there are just two-- the Premium and the Premium Plus. The old Prestige trim was the top trim in older years. The features that were part of the Prestige are now available on lower trims in options and packages. For most buyers, the Premium Plus is better value. It has a much more extensive selection of options, has more standard features, and the difference in the base price between the Premium and Premium Plus is relatively small.
