Heated twin-leather front seats, dual climate control, MMI Navigation Plus, parking assistance, smartphone integration, cruise control and Audi Connect are all standard. Under the bonnet, the engine range is fairly similar, too.
The entry-level petrol is the same 2-litre turbocharged quattro you find in the A6. However, with the diesel, you get the choice of two 3-litre powertrains, instead of only one in the A6.

Under the bonnet, the entry-level petrol engine is a punchy turbocharged 1-litre, while the diesel is a turbocharged 1. At the top end, the SQ2 boasts bhp, which derives from a 2-litre turbocharged petrol powertrain.
The second Q model to be based on the A3 is the Audi Q3. The entry-level seating is cloth, although full leather is available as you climb the specs. But no matter the material, the Q3 provides a comfortable ride, particularly with adaptive suspension added. You get two body styles with the Q3; the more conventional boxy SUV look and the eye-catching Sportback.
The TT RS is stylish, fast, and fun to drive with its snorty five-cylinder engine and modern interior technology, but other rivals offer more thrills.
Despite being the entry-point to the brand, the A3 sedan and convertible offer all of the style, tech, and luxury appointments expected in a modern Audi. Its appearance may be unassuming but make no mistake, in the entry-luxury class, the Audi A4 is a superhero in street clothes.

As halo cars go, the Audi R8 is a spectacular one—its howling V engine provides stomach-punch acceleration that lesser cars with the four-ringed badge can only dream about.
The S4 sport sedan is more disciplined and refined than enthusiastic, but it offers a smooth ride, high-fidelity steering, and Super Glue cornering grip. The Audi S5 combines an upscale interior, sleek design, and a host of standard equipment with impressive performance from its hp V-6 engine.
If the three-box shape of the Audi S4 doesn't appeal to you, the S5 Sportback provides more style and practicality without compromising performance.

The Audi SQ5 is a fun-to-drive high-performance crossover, but despite its athletic moves and upscale features its rivals deliver all that and more. Although small in stature, the A3 offers the same quality, luxury, and road manners that are found in Audi's larger and pricier models. The A4 Allroad combines the best traits of the A4 sedan with more cargo room, a few inches of extra ground clearance, and a more muscular look.
