Used 2023 Audi Q3 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

You have several decisions to make when you buy a 2023 Audi Q3. First, you'll choose between two turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines: the 40 TFSI (184 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque) and the 45 TFSI (228 hp, 258 lb-ft). Both come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and include Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system as standard equipment.

After you've settled on a powertrain, you can choose between Premium and Premium Plus trim. Highlights of each are listed below:

Premium
The Q3 Premium trim includes many standard features, such as:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • S line styling package (TFSI 45 only)
  • LED headlights with automatic high-beam assist
  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power liftgate
  • Illuminated doorsills (45 TFSI only)
  • Triple-zone automatic climate control
  • 10.25-inch digital instrumentation panel
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable and heated front seats
  • 40/20/40-split folding back seat
  • 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Connected services with complimentary trial subscription

Every 2023 Q3 also comes with these safety features:

  • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

A Convenience package adds several useful features to the Q3 Premium for a reasonable price. They include:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Auto-dimming and power-folding exterior mirrors
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Keyless entry
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Satellite radio

Choose the Q3 Premium Plus trim for more luxury items, such as:

  • Convenience package
  • Ambient lighting
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Audi and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Q3 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Q3 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Only the Premium Plus offers the Technology package, which adds:

  • 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality
  • Amazon Alexa integration
  • Expanded connected services plans
  • Navigation system with traffic sign recognition
  • Sonos premium audio system

Additional options for the Q3 include:

  • Black Optic package (40 TFSI)
    • 19-inch dark-gray wheels
    • Black-painted exterior accents
  • Black Optic Sport package (45 TFSI)
    • 19-inch matte titanium wheels
    • Black-painted exterior accents
    • Sport seats
  • 19-inch wheels
  • 20-inch wheels (45 TFSI with Premium Plus package only)
  • Natural wood interior trim
  • Rear side-impact airbags

Which Q3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

While every Audi Q3 has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the 45 TFSI offers added power and more satisfying acceleration. It comes in two levels of trim, each with a standard S line styling package. We recommend the Premium Plus trim primarily because it provides access to the appealing Technology package.
