2019 Audi Q3 first drive: Style and luxury with tech to match

With over 1.1 million sold since its introduction in 2012, the Audi Q3 has been an essential vehicle for introducing consumers to the Audi brand. Even with its much later introduction to the US, in 2015, delayed access would only turn out to whet the appetite of American drivers. No, it wasn’t as technologically advanced as other Audis on the dealers’ lots, and yes, it was using the older generation of engines and transmissions, not to mention the old infotainment system.
