Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi Q3 Sportback

- Big boot space which can be increased with flat-folding rear seats
- Comfortable ride quality
- Engaging and fun to drive 2-litre TSI and 7-speed DSG combination
- Compact dimensions make it easier to drive around the city
- Practical enough for a family of four people
BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase

- New i-Drive 8 infotainment system is crisp and easy to use.
- 2-litre diesel engine offers good poke for both sedate and spirited driving.
- Has a good balance between ride and handling.

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Could have looked even better with brighter colour options and flashier wheels
- Features like ventilated front seats with memory function and 360-degree camera still missing
- No diesel engine on offer like its rivals
BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase
- Missing essentials such as ADAS, 360-degree camera, sun blinds and ventilated front seats.
- The displays in the cabin get warm over prolonged usage.
- Low stance results in difficult ingress and egress for elderly occupants.
- Small boot due to the space-saver eating up space.
