The 2023 Audi RS Q3 range of configurations is currently priced from $77,550.
Our most recent review of the 2023 Audi RS Q3 resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: The Audi RS Q3 Sportback edition 10 years is dynamically brilliant, beautifully finished and surprisingly civilised on day-to-day duty. A polished compact performance package that even in this special 'get-it-while-you-can' guise offers compelling value relative to its direct competitors.

Available RS Q3 colours are 'Nardo grey’, ‘Pulse orange’, ‘Turbo blue’, ‘Kyalami green’, ‘Glacier white metallic’, ‘Tango red metallic’, ‘Mythos black metallic’ and ‘Daytona grey pearl effect’.
Premium performance feels like the dominant theme inside with a typically Audi tech-focused approach including high-quality brushed metal elements, matt carbon inserts and quilted leather trim on the heavily bolstered front seats. A meticulous attention to detail is obvious and the bottom line is it’s all about the driver. A grippy, flat-bottom, leather-trimmed steering wheel looks as good as it feels, sleek screens enhance the racy vibe and the mix of physical and digital controls is sensible.
The RS Q3 Sportback is powered by a 2.5-litre in-line five-cylinder intercooled turbo-petrol engine sending drive to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive system.
Audi says the RS Q3 will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.5sec before reaching a top speed of 250km/h.

The RS Q3’s standard features list includes, three-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, Nappa leather trim, ambient lighting, an RS sport contour leather-trimmed steering wheel, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.1-inch multimedia display, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, sat-nav and wireless device charging. There’s also a Bang & Olufsen ‘3D Sound System’ digital radio, 21-inch alloys, electronically-controlled adaptive dampers, auto Matrix LED headlights and a hands-free power tailgate. Metallic and pearl effect paint finishes are offered at no extra cost.
It is a six-year-old car and things can go wrong with them, no matter the price tag when it was new. All carmakers have a responsibility under law even after their own warranties have expired, so you could try and negotiate a deal with them over the unit, but I doubt you’ll succeed.

That's a rather subjective question that's almost impossible to answer. It also depends on what you call fun. Both would be fun to drive, but if I were to make the choice purely on the driving experience I would choose the BMW.

You should never just buy a badge. The CX-5 is a better car, and considerably better value, than the Audi Q3. It's best in the class, gets The Tick from me, and is far better value than many prestige SUVs.

Boot volume with all seats up in the RS Q3 is a handy 530 litres and 1525 with the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat lowered (1400 litres in the sloping roof ‘Sportback’ version).
The fuel tank requires 63 litres of 98 RON premium unleaded to fill it which translates to a range of around 650km based on our real-world economy figure.
