Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi Q3
- Fun 204PS 2.0-litre turbo engine + quattro all-wheel drive delivers driving pleasure.
- Value: panoramic sunroof, 3-zone climate control, leatherette upholstery available as standard.
- Comfortable ride quality, great highway stability. Built for roadtrips.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch: Gets red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- Fun-to-drive: The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
- Handles like a pro: Feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

Audi Q3
- No hybrid, diesel or electric powertrain options available.
- Fuel efficiency will be poor in heavy city traffic.
- Strange feature omissions: front seat ventilation, 360° camera are not available.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Inconsistent cabin quality: While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- Missing features: Does not get leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
