Audi Q3 Performance Overview
Audi’s compact Q3 performance record spans 8 verified tests across 2015 to 2019, covering the late Typ 8U years and the first U.S. results for the Typ F3 redesign. In the Typ 8U era, tested examples used the turbocharged EA888 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder at 200 hp, establishing the model’s baseline with a 7.8-second 0-60 run from the 2015 Prestige Quattro and a 7.7-second run from the 2016 Premium Plus Quattro. Quarter-mile results in this period sat in the mid-16-second range, reflecting a steady rather than rapidly changing formula.
For 2019, the Typ F3 brought output up to 228 hp while remaining a turbocharged gasoline-only lineup in this dataset. That update produced the quickest figures recorded here, led by the 7.3-second 0-60 time from the 2019 Prestige S-Line Quattro, which also posted the fastest quarter-mile at 15.6 seconds at 91 mph. Other 2019 tests for the same trim ranged as slow as 8.5 seconds to 60 mph, showing notable spread between independent runs. As currently represented by this data, the Q3 stands as a gasoline-powered compact luxury crossover whose best measured acceleration arrived with the first year of the Typ F3 generation.

How we verify Audi Q3 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi Q3 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
