NEW Audi RSQ3 Sportback Review: Fast, Practical & Perfect? | 4K

Think about the

perfect

car if you can literally buy a car to own for the rest of your life. What would the recipe be? What would that car look like? Well, you could say it could look a little like this, the Audi RS q3, and that's because it requires a lot of boxes it's

practical

it's from a prestigious brand which is always good it's high performing and it's vaguely affordable around 50,000 pounds or around 500 to 600 pounds a month, so there is actually a very good case for this to be for the car you will ever need a smart look - the Audi RS q3 Sportback is one of the most small ones that exist.

I'm a big fan of design. They make a standard RS q3 2 with a square rear end, but this is the sporty one with a sloping rear end. It just looks good, it has a huge and aggressive front grille. Additionally, this car has the optional black package, so everything that is normally Chrome is now removed; the Audi rims are now blacked out, the same goes for the rear view mirrors and door sills, all of which mainly stand out against these beautiful wheels, even more impressive is the

ity and I'm not just talking about the fact that it can be adapted to adult passengers;

It's okay in that sense. I mean another element of practicality that people sometimes overlook. As big as the actual car, you can have a big, huge SUV that gives you plenty of space inside, but if the car doesn't physically fit in the places you'd like to drive, then how practical is it? I mean, look at the Audi. q5 q7 q8 huge things, but you try to drive them into a multi-story parking lot, for example, like this, you're always very nervous because there's like an 80% chance that you'll end up braking one of your Annelieses, so when you pull into the parking lot multi-story with destroyed wheels.

You try to place it in a real parking space. You can't do it because the cars are huge, but with the RS q3 you have that problem because the car is

perfect

ly proportioned. It is big enough for you and fits Great Britain. See, magically, the smaller size doesn't affect it either because there's plenty of room in the back for the two tall adults. The boot is a very generous 480 liters and there is plenty of space in the boot. Door pockets and center storage compartments tackle more drinks, candy and loose change, and you'll know what to do with the interior.

There are many things to like about this car. You look around and everything seems expensive. There is Alcantara on the steering wheel. Alcantara in. the door cards, even Alcantara on the dash, the buttons feel amazing, you can say there is an entire department dedicated to making buttons that feel absolutely sensational, plus in many cars you have touch screens that don't feel like that or nothing of the sort, but here you get a nice little click every time you press a button, it all feels expensive. I like it. The technology in general is pretty decent. The Addie infotainment system is easy to operate and has a good range of features, though, like most systems.

You're probably better off using Apple Carplay or Android Auto, which come standard, while the 12-inch screen behind the steering wheel showing driving information and a giant map is a nice touch, so for your $50,000 or around $600 pounds a month, you get decent practicality, decent amounts of space and, luckily, very decent performance. One of the defining features of this car is the engine. The engine is very different to the norm we live in today in a world where many of these rival cars end up using a similar type. The engine is normally a two-liter four-cylinder engine with a pair of turbos, but this car is different.

It uses a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine with great power and great acceleration. It generates 400 horsepower and 480 Newton meters of torque and does not make It swims to 60 in 4.5 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 155 miles per hour and if you pay a little extra money they will be restricted so I'll do 170 flat out. The RS q3 uses a 7-speed dual clutch. -The tronic transmission, which in the city is very smooth, allows the car to drive in one gear while it is preselected in another and changes without problems between them up or down, but there is a small problem with the gearbox, sometimes it feels a little slow. react, let's say the road opens up in front of you and you want to pass someone or you just want to get out of the way of people, you put your foot down and it takes you about a second and a half to two seconds to kick off and deliver all the power, don't get me wrong , when the power comes it's absolutely crazy, it's a very

fast

car, but that split second it takes to come down and give you the torque you need, by then the timing could have gone well, you can drive solve that problem by using the paddles behind the wheel or using the shifter on the center console, but sometimes it doesn't always give you the gear you need if you feel like you're fighting the car rather than working with it.

The handling is good, it can be a little uncomfortable, especially in slower corners, there is a bit of understeer and the car never feels quite stable when cornering at speed. I don't think it's because it's particularly heavy, it only weighs around 1,700 kilograms, which is about 130 kilograms more than, say, a Ford Focus, but it never feels as calm, it never feels as flowing as the best hot hatch out there. , the best way to drive this car is to just take advantage of a huge boot of speed in a straight line sit in a straight line hit a corner early the brakes are super strong by the way the carbon ceramics on the front are completely over the top for this car because you are never going to take it to a track, understand it Slow down, turn, wait for it to fix itself and then accelerate hard into the corner and use the Quattro system.

It's a good effect for me. This is not a car that particularly likes corners. What it is, is really good. point to point machine in terms of handling, it is firm, that is still acceptable. The optional adaptive dampers on this car do a decent job of providing sportiness or comfort at the touch of a button, but the car feels very firm in the sportiest mode, but it probably will. I want to leave it in comfort mode all the time, so is this the car you'll need? Well, there aren't actually many things this car does right, but there are also things it gets wrong if you're looking for a car that works. every box, then you're going to struggle, but all things considered, there's a lot to like about the RS Q3.

I'm a big fan of the RS q3 in a few areas, starting with the looks, it's a car you'll be very proud of. by owning and displaying it, it is also compact enough to make it really usable on a day-to-day basis and at the same time remains practical, has a tremendously charismatic engine and is undoubtedly very

fast

and ultimately, even if not it's the most sophisticated car to drive in terms of handling, it's still It's a very nice thing, all the car you'll ever need, maybe not, but it's still a car that many of us will definitely want to have.
