AUDI’S burgeoning SUV range enters high gear with its smallest-ever offering, the Q3. Based on the existing Volkswagen Tiguan architecture but designed from the ground up to wear the four-ringed badge, the newcomer opens up a whole new market for the brand against the likes of the BMW X1, Mini Countryman, Range Rover Evoque, and Land Rover Freelander II. Yet up-spec versions of the Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-5 and Ford Kuga are also in Audi’s crosshairs.
