Audi A4 vs Audi Q3

What's the difference?

The Audi A4 allroad is the off-roader of the A4 line-up. I’m using the term ‘off-roader’ loosely here because this wagon is obviously best suited to daily duties in a city and suburbs, with perhaps an occasional foray into very light off-roading, i.e. driving on a well-maintained gravel or dirt road with few, if any, corrugations, and in dry weather only. 

But that’s not a negative factor because the great thing about adventures is that they can be scaled to suit you, your lifestyle and your vehicle of choice.

However, is this allroad your best option for a comfortable, nice-driving all-rounder? Read on.

The 2025 Audi Q3 Sportback is a small but not-too-small SUV that sits within a close-knit segment. The Q3 Sportback attempts to spice up the premium end of this small SUV market by offering a design-focused 'coupe' body style, but is it enough for it to go 'tyre to tyre' against its main rival, the new BMW X2?

It's other rivals are also renowned for their luxury and on-road prowess - think the Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus UX. However, the changes for the new Q3 are small and its rivals have all benefitted from a recent refresh.

In this review we explore how the top-model Sportback S line 40 TSFI quattro handles being an urban dweller.
