Audi Q3
The luxury compact SUV market is exploding, and Audi was one of the first to get in on the action. This year, the Q3 changes little, besides new wheels and a few rearranged option packages. This SUV has but one engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 200 horsepower. Three trim levels are available: Komfort, Progressiv and Technik. Europeans can opt for an RS Q3 Performance variant, which is the kind of vehicle that makes you want to change continents.
