Specs, explained

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Fuel use is rated 9.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $16.63, and a 300 km weekend about $49.89. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the Q3

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Living with the Q3

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the Q3 answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
