Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Sportier styling than the Q3 thanks to coupe-SUV styling
- 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
Jeep Meridian
- Plush ride quality: Offers a comfortable and confident ride over all kinds of surfaces.
- Punchy sound system: 9-speaker Alpine audio system offers a bass-heavy feel with excellent quality and no distortion.
- Practical interior: Gets three rows of seats and plenty of storage spaces.
- Tough build quality: The panel gaps are consistent and minimal all around, and it has a strong and sturdy feel both inside and out.

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
Jeep Meridian
- Noisy diesel engine: Leaves room for improvement in terms of refinement and NVH.
- Third row: Feels cramped and is suitable only for children.
- Slow gearbox: 9-speed AT is smooth, but slow shifting and dull to drive.
