About the Audi Q3
The Audi Q3 is a midsize SUV that was first launched in 2011 and which occupies a premium, luxury market that also includes cars like the Volvo XC40, BMW X1 and the Range Rover Evoque.
It’s a vehicle designed to offer maximum enjoyment and practicality on a day-to-day basis, and there are levels of refinement on offer that few rivals can match.
While a plug-in hybrid powertrain is offered with the separate ‘TFSI e’ variant, the Audi Q3 is available with a choice of diesel and petrol engines, with power running all the way up to 245 PS.
Combine that with the option of Quattro all-wheel drive, and you really have got yourself a versatile, do-it-all lease car.
Why lease an Audi Q3?
As you’d expect from a premium brand like Audi, the Q3 comes generously equipped as standard.
Base models feature dual-zone climate control, a 10.1 inch infotainment touchscreen with sat-nav, rear parking sensors, and a suite of driver assistance and safety systems including lane departure warning and collision-detecting software.
The rear seats are also capable of sliding forwards and backwards, unlocking an extremely healthy 675 litres of boot space, which is more than you see on some much larger SUVs.
If you want performance, the Audi Q3 can also satisfy that demand. The range-topping, all-wheel drive ‘45 TFSI quattro’ model is underpinned by a 2.0 litre petrol engine with power of 245 PS. It means you can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds.
Meanwhile there are also frugal diesel powertrains up for grabs.
The ‘35 TDI’ models, for example, will return up to 56 miles to the gallon - which could be perfect for keeping your fuel costs low.

I could not recommend Select enough and the amazing service I had from my consultant Shane Newton. Shane regularly updated me on progress of my new vehicle, and was always so helpful in answering any queries I had regarding my order throughout the whole process - no question was silly - he always responded promptly whether that be through email or phone call. I just received my new vehicle last week, and Shane was in contact right away to ensure the handover was seamless and that I was happy with my new vehicle! Needless to say I was very happy with the earlier than anticipated delivery - Christmas has came early! This is my second vehicle with Select and yet another excellent service. I could not fault anything and want to thank Shane once again for all of his help!
Never leased a car before this and the staff were so helpful and friendly. They helped me through the process and kept in regular contact to make sure everything was going OK. Were able to answer all my questions and were personalised with their customer service. I felt like we were having conversations rather than being a number going through a box ticking exercise.
My second lease via Select. David has dealt with my order and been very helpful and responsive throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
