2025 Audi Q3 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Audi Q3 is a subcompact SUV powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 251 lb-ft of torque). An eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive are standard. There are just two trim levels, Premium and Premium Plus, with a handful of optional packages to personalize the Q3.

Premium
The Q3 Premium trim includes many standard features, such as:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights with automatic high-beam assist
  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power liftgate
  • Triple-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrumentation panel
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable and heated front seats
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • 10-speaker audio system

Every Q3 also comes with these driver aids:

  • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Q3 and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

The Convenience package adds several useful features to the Q3 Premium. They include:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Auto-dimming and power-folding exterior mirrors
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Keyless entry
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Interior ambient lighting

Premium Plus
Choose the Q3 Premium Plus trim for additional features, such as:

  • Convenience package features
  • Upgraded interior ambient lighting
  • 15-speaker Sonos premium audio system
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Q3 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Only the Premium Plus offers the Technology package, which adds:

  • Bigger digital instrumentation panel
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
  • Navigation system

Additional options for the Q3 include:

  • Black Optic Sport package (Premium only)
    • 19-inch matte titanium wheels
    • Black exterior trim
    • Front sport seats
  • Black Optic Plus package (Premium Plus only)
    • 19-inch black wheels
    • Black exterior trim
    • Front sport seats
    • Carbon-fiber interior trim
    • Stainless steel pedals

Which Q3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

With only one engine and two trim levels in the lineup, choosing your Q3 shouldn't take long. We'd go with the Premium Plus since it nets meaningful upgrades like a 360-degree camera system and a Sonos audio system for a relatively small cost.
