Not the most inspiring, but perfectly pleasant

By Chris Knapman (China Daily) Updated: 2015-01-03 11:30

In line with a price increase of about £1,100 across the Q3 range, standard specification has improved. Trim levels start with SE and rise through S-Line (for an additional £2,550) and S-Line Plus (that's "Plus" as in "Plus another£2,350"). Now standard on all models are full body-coloured bumpers, Xenon headlights and a Drive Select system that lets you choose between Comfort and Sport modes for the steering and throttle response. Oh, and the addition of a retractable parcel shelf. I did warn you that this wasn't groundbreaking stuff.

The engine range has also been pepped up, with modifications that either increase power, decrease emissions or a bit of both.

If you want a petrol engine, it's the entry-level that appeals most, with the Q3 now gaining the VW Group's turbocharged 1.4-litre unit with cylinder-on-demand technology, which can close down two of the four cylinders when they're not needed, in order to save fuel.

We've already tested this engine in the VW Polo and Audi A3, among others, but found that for all its smoothness and punchy midrange, the fuel savings generated by the closing down of two of the cylinders (a seamless process, it has to be said) doesn't warrant the extra cost of the engine over the non-cylinder on demand alternative. If the old engine was still offered in the Q3 that would remain the case, but it's not, so it doesn't; at £25,340 and in front-wheel-drive form only, this cylinder-on-demand engine marks the entry point to the Q3 range and the world of Audi SUVs in general.

The good news is that this 148bhp unit has enough gusto to propel the Q3 at a reasonable pace, getting it from 0-62mph in 8.9sec and revving sweetly through the low- and mid-range. However, it also becomes noisy towards the upper reaches of the rev range, and those who regularly carry passengers or heavy loads will no doubt be convinced by the additional midrange pulling power of the diesels (priced from £26,880).

The 2015 Audi Q3 features a more prominent front grille that flows into the headlights:

Audi also boasts of improved comfort in this face-lifted Q3, but there's still a slightly brittle edge to the ride below 30mph, which is only partly alleviated by the optional adaptive dampers. Gain pace, however, and things do settle, so if most of your miles are out of town you'll be far less bothered. The handling is competent if not at risk of inspiring an enthusiastic reaction. Too light in Comfort setting, the steering gains heft when you put the car into Dynamic mode, although that doesn't translate to any greater sense of connection with what's going on at the front wheels, nor much consistency to how that weight builds.

If it's not the most inspiring car to drive, the Q3 is at least perfectly pleasant, because it's quiet and has that elevated driving position enjoyed by SUV drivers. And let's face it, that's what matters with these cars, not how much steering feel they provide.
