alright guys so here we are in the brand new q3 for the 2019 model year as many
of you know they've completely redesigned the lineup here it's probably
been a good solid seven months since we've had a q3 here in the United States
and the reason for that is because they were can doing a complete redesign the
interior is completely different in this car much better than the previous
generation a lot of people had a lot of gripes about the previous generation not
being very up to par luxury feeling when it came to the Audi lineup and they've
definitely addressed that here the 20 19's the new Q3s on the inside are
fantastic and everything feels premium in here I'm very impressed with this car
so just to point out a few things here on the new q3 this is a Premium Plus
trim level so you do get the LED headlights here and also has these
little LED bars that light up you guys can see that really like the headlights
that they have on these obviously it's a brand new front grille very aggressive
looking this is a new style that they're going for with the new SUVs and Audi
lineup very aggressive looking very big really cool looking really like that you
also get full LED tail lights see they're very nice-looking and with this
model you also get the dynamic turn signals as you can see how they trace
out to the the right here on the left on this side but you can see they do they
are dynamic this just gives you an idea of what the front headlights look like
with the LEDs so this Premium Plus model is equipped
with 19-inch wheels there are other options available especially if you get
obviously like the prestige model they do offer different wheel packages you
can get for the new q3 so if you guys are wondering what color this is it's a
brand new color for 2019 it is Chronos gray metallic and from far away it's got
a really nice looking very shade to it and then when you get up on it you can
definitely see if there's metallic in it it's probably hard to see right now
because it's cloudy out but I believe in sunlight it gives you kind of like a
gold tone this is a really cool looking paint scheme like many of the SUVs in
the Audi lineup it does come equipped with a automatic lift gate so you do
push this automatically lifts itself up you see the trunk and those things
pretty big I've got a bunch of accessories in here but you can
definitely fit a lot of stuff in here so it's definitely a practical vehicle if
you would include this just click here and press this and I'll close by itself
you can adjust the height of that if you want to if it's too high for you you can
definitely move that down and the q3 does come with a rear wiper a huge fan
of rear wipers I don't know why I've always liked them but it does come with
a rear wiper and the new q3 does come with a panoramic sunroof as you see here
we have it opens very large it also has a sunshade in case you don't wanna have
it open you can have that clue so your I guess your head doesn't get burnt in the
Sun but it is tinted pretty well so you kind of really don't need that all right
so let's look at the interior up here in the front they've completely redesigned
it like I said before you can see the dash areas all new looks very good they
saw that minimalist look to them but it's still very functional so I think he
did a really good job with the new dash design over these new q3s see you have
the MMI plus system that I mentioned earlier obviously a virtual cockpit here
and then one interesting that they have now is they've gotten rid of the
turnstile I guess headlight controls which is very
interesting that they've changed that it's now buttons so if you press these
buttons you can kind of scroll through everything you see over here on the
vertical cockpit that has I press these buttons it changes it's also kind of
like I guess touch sensitive so as I scroll my fingers across it it kind of
brings that menu up and knows that my fingers close to it so they've also done
that which is pretty cool looking at the steering
wheel very quality steering wheel obviously it did a really good job with
the steering wheel like they always do it's a nice leather wrapped it does have
this really cool looking emblem here which kind of replicates the front
grilles on a lot of their SUVs I think they did a good job with that buttons
over here you can kind of scroll through your virtual cockpit using these buttons
scroll up and down or zoom in with your the navigation part menu view which kind
of shrinks everything makes the center part much bigger and then everything on
the right-hand side you have your phone to answer and hang upon calls then you
also have voice recognition it also works Siri all that kind of stuff to get
the SPECIAL start button here in which you press that gives you a bunch of
options it's kind of like a quick setting and then you have your volume up
and down and then tracks left or right or skip I should say yes I have that on
the steering wheel so looking at the HVAC controls if you're familiar with
like the older a3 I should say that the newer a3 s this will look very familiar
to you it's exactly the same setup as I have in my s3 you can see you have your
auto climate control loop and then up too much defrost you have your seat
heating options here for the driver and passenger and you can change these
things on here so I'm not gonna go too in depth about that because I'm sure you
guys already know about it down below you have your drive select button
turn your traction control off this one is equipped with auto start/stop so you
can turn that off as well using this button obviously you know what that is
parking sensors not sure what that button is I guess it's maybe he'll
assist if you guys are familiar with that if you know what that is put a
comment down below because I'm I'm not really 100% sure where that is this is
what your shifter looks like and pretty standard looks pretty good
parking brake down here and then these are your cup holders so like I mentioned
you do get the panoramic sunroof can you see that here and just this section here
opens up you also do have a sunshade which you can control with this but here
closes and if we're really dark in here in a second so super get you stop this
yes we'll stop that right there but you get the idea it goes all the way up in
this one you cannot see through it like in my s3 you can actually see through
the Sun G which is pretty cool but you can't do that here in the q3 if you have
the Sun open it's gonna pull that all the way back so you can't have this
close to kind of block the Sun from hitting you while you have your sunroof
open so here you see the new door panels something interesting about the handles
is you actually pulled them towards you now instead of going from the top like
you used to you kind of pull it from down here to open the doors really
interesting the way that they did that so look in the back you can see that
there's plenty of room back here it's go ahead and jump in I'm 6 feet tall you
guys know that already in a high plenty of room here between my knees and in the
front seat the front seat is set as you know we're 6 foot tall person what's it
so you've got plenty of room back here you can also lean the seats back if you
want to make them more comfortable again if you have to ride in the back here
this is a it's a pretty nice place to be very comfortable and you do get vents
back here you can turn them all for Rowan you cannot adjust the temperature
but you can't turn them off and one if you want to and there is a center arm
brush you flip that down and there's a cup holder so you go all that in there
it closes flag up and you can see there are adjustments for the seats got down
here and in order to adjust a seat there is a little strap down here pull that
and it will flip it forward and in case you're wondering you can slide this back
seat forward or back there's a little bar down here underneath it you can just
pull up and you can slide it all right so we're go ahead and get on it a little
bit here just to see how it does
it's very comfortable sitting it would it's not bad I mean it's not a sports
car it's not designed to be a sports car but it's got plenty of power I get you
up to speed fine does roll some back roads up here West Chester PA we do have
some windy roads it's very comfortable I will say that was we have an auto mode
for the drive selector right now so it automatically adjusts the suspension
settings based on the you type that we have so I will say it's very comfortable
actually it's just sort of comfortable again it's not too floaty you know you
kind of expect that when you're driving a SUV you kind of feel like it would be
bouncing up and down you know as you go around turns but I'm not really getting
that sense driving this around these curves or this backwards it's doing
pretty well and there's plenty of power to pull me through the corners really
happy with this I think they did a really good job with the new version of
this two three one of the nice things about the crossovers now is it gives you
a little bit higher up you know I'm used to driving my s3 so I'm down a little
bit lower to the road I will say that driving this is q3 it's kind of nice the
visibility is great I can see everywhere you know just a little bit higher up I
really enjoyed those so the question is would I recommend this car for
somebody's looking to get into an Audi SUV
absolutely yes I think this car is absolutely fantastic I think Audi did a
really good job with the interior it feels much nicer than the previous
generation much more upscale and luxury now you're starting to get a lot more
value for your money in the Audi's give this a nice big touchscreen here for the
MMI system and the nice virtual cockpit you know that's all for what less than
40 thousand dollars so I think you know it's a really good value that you're
starting to get without ease and I really appreciate what they're doing so
if you're looking for an SUV and you're looking to spend around that range I
would definitely recommend looking at the new q3 because they've done a
fantastic job with it these things are gonna sell like crazy I know it just
because it's such a good car what do you guys think of this q3 drop some comments
