2024 Audi Q3 Changes
Audi hasn’t made any significant changes to its two-model Q3 range for this year. The only notable revision sees adaptive cruise control introduced across the range, while wireless phone charging becomes available. Prices are a couple of hundred dollars higher than they were last year.
Choosing Your 2024 Audi Q3
The Q3 range includes two trims, each available with a choice of two gas engines. Prices for the Q3 start at $38,195 (all prices include destination) for a 40 TFSI Premium, with a $2,400 uptick for the more powerful 45 TFSI engine. The same is true for the Premium Plus trim, which is available from $40,995. Unlike most Audi ranges, there’s no flagship Prestige trim on offer.
2024 Audi Q3 Engine Options
The 2024 Audi Q3 engine range starts with the 40 TFSI – a two-liter turbocharged gas engine producing 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, fed to all four wheels as standard through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Performance in the 45 models is boosted by a more powerful (though identically sized) engine producing 228 hp and 258 lb-ft.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque |
40 TFSI | 184 hp | 221 lb-ft |
45 TFSI | 228 hp | 258 lb-ft |
2024 Audi Q3 Fuel Economy
2024 Audi Q3 fuel economy has yet to be announced, but the 2023 figures saw an EPA-estimated 22 miles per gallon city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 combined for 40 models. Gas mileage in the more powerful 45 Q3s stood at 21/28/24 mpg respectively, and figures for the mechanically identical 2024 models should be unchanged.
2024 Audi Q3 Towing Capacity
Audi doesn’t publish towing capacity figures for the Q3.
2024 Audi Q3 Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
2024 Audi Q3 dimensions extend to 176 inches in length and just under 80 inches in width (including mirrors). That translates to 36 inches of rear legroom across a five-seater cabin.
2024 Audi Q3 cargo space stands at 23.7 cu ft with the rear seats in place, doubling to 48 cu ft once they’re dropped.
2024 Audi Q3 Safety
Both Q3 models come with adaptive cruise control including traffic jam assistance, light and rain sensors, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, and LED exterior lights. Rear side airbags are an optional extra, but you do get pre-emptive crash protection (closing windows and sunroofs while tightening front safety belts). Hill descent control, high beam assistance, and lane guidance come as standard, while Premium Plus models additionally receive a surround-view camera system.
2024 Audi Q3 Technology
A modest 8.8-inch touchscreen takes center stage on the Q3’s dashboard, joined by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that can be upgraded to Audi’s 12.3-inch virtual cockpit as a cost option on Premium Plus models. Smartphone mirroring is standard but only Premium Plus buyers paying for the Technology package receive wireless connectivity. At least the standard Audi sound system is punchy, with ten speakers and a subwoofer emitting 180 watts – a SONOS system can be added to Premium Plus models.
2024 Audi Q3 Trims & Prices
2024 Audi Q3 Premium – MSRP from $38,195
Build & Price >Nobody would describe the base Q3 as luxuriously equipped, but it does ride on 18-inch five-spoke wheels with aluminum roof rails and window surrounds. A power tailgate and power sunroof complement a cabin with three-zone climate, heated front seats clad in leather and a 180-watt sound system.
The $1,750 Convenience package includes nine separate features, with wireless phone charging newly added for 2024. It also brings a hands-free power tailgate and memory for the driver’s seat, LED interior lighting and auto-dimming, and power-folding memory exterior mirrors. You can add rear side airbags as a standalone $350 upgrade.
2024 Audi Q3 Premium Plus – MSRP from $40,995
Build & Price >A key upgrade on Premium Plus models is a top-view camera system, with four wide-angle cameras. The interior receives 30-color ambient LED lighting including contour lighting in the doors. A frameless auto-dimming interior rearview mirror with integrated digital compass joins wireless phone charging on the tech spec sheet, while the driver’s seat benefits from memory.
Some aspects of the $2,500 Technology package should arguably be standard, such as traffic sign recognition and wireless smartphone mirroring. It brings Audi’s 12.3-inch virtual cockpit with navigation into the instrumentation cluster, while a SONOS 3D audio system and Alexa integration are also included.
If you’re a technology lover, the titular package on Premium Plus models is a worthwhile investment. Otherwise, we’d stick with Premium trim for its superior value.
