Which Q3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Opting for the more powerful 45 TFSI engine is the way to go because it provides power that's comparable to the Q3's rivals and quicker acceleration during those crucial times like when you're merging on the highway. As for the trim, we recommend the Premium Plus for its added features and access to the optional Technology package that loads the Q3 with all remaining tech features.
