2025 Audi Q3 Performance: Power That Feels Personal

The 2025 Audi Q3 may look compact, but it holds nothing back when it comes to performance. It's quick, smart, and built to handle every kind of drive-whether you're running errands in Ottawa or taking a weekend trip. With its strong engine, smooth shifting, and all-weather control, the Q3 brings comfort and confidence to every ride. Let's take a closer look at how it performs on the road.

Smooth and Quick Every Time
The 2025 Audi Q3 has been built for drivers who want just the right mix of strength and comfort. It comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that offers two choices. The 40 TFSI gives you 184 horsepower, while the 45 TFSI version pushes out 228 horsepower. That means the Q3 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. It may be small in size, but it moves with confidence and speed. Whether you're merging onto the highway or passing through downtown Ottawa, the drive feels light but strong.
A Transmission That Knows What You Need
The 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission works quietly in the background. You won't feel it shifting, but you will feel how smooth the drive becomes. It adjusts quickly when you accelerate or slow down. For those who like a bit more control, the Tiptronic system also lets you change gears yourself. It adds a little excitement, especially when you're driving through twisty roads or heading out for a weekend drive beyond the city.


All-Wheel Confidence, Always On
Quattro all-wheel drive comes standard in the Q3. That means even when the roads in Ottawa get slick with snow or rain, the Q3 holds its grip. It spreads power to each wheel when needed. So you get better control, better traction, and more peace of mind. Whether it's a sudden storm or a gravel road, the Q3 handles it without making a big deal about it.
Feels Right at Every Turn
Progressive steering in the Q3 makes a big difference. When you're parking in a tight space or making a sharp turn, it takes less effort. But when you're driving faster, the steering becomes firmer and more stable. It gives you a better feel of the road. The steering adjusts naturally based on how much you turn the wheel, and it all happens without you needing to think about it. It just feels right.


Let the Car Match Your Mood
With Audi drive select, the Q3 can change how it drives based on what you choose. Want a relaxed cruise? It can do that. Feeling sporty? Just switch the mode, and the engine, steering, and transmission will respond in a new way. This feature helps the Q3 feel like it understands you. One drive can feel very different from the next, depending on how you want it.
