Is The Used Audi Q3 SUV Still Worth It? Learn Everything About The Used SUV That Delivers An Autonomy Of 614 Km And Is Catching The Attention Of The Automotive Market In 2024.
The success of the Audi Q3 in the automotive market is one of the reasons for the current popularity of SUVs, considering that the previous generation did its homework by combining luxury, performance, and good capability for traversing tough paths, and it even led its segment. In this article, we will find out if it is still worth buying a used Audi Q3 SUV in 2024.
What Does The Used Audi Q3 SUV Offer?
A large portion of the Audi Q3 SUVs sold in Brazil features the 2.0 TFSI engine with 170 horsepower in the Ambiente version, which comes standard with the famous Open Sky Panoramic Sunroof, with electric operation. The S Tronic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission works beautifully with the Quattro all-wheel drive, taking it from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds.
Those who do not care for the sunroof should consider the Attraction version: although simpler, it features synthetic leather seats, digital air conditioning, a multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, a trip computer, electric parking brake, and 235/55 tires mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.
-
With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.
-
With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.
-
With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.
The fastest is the top model, Ambition, with 211 hp, which goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds without compromising good fuel consumption of 9 km/l in the city and 13.8 on the highway. Among the highlights of the used Audi Q3 are aluminum interior trim, electrically adjustable seats, and 18-inch alloy wheels with 235/50 tires.
All 2.0 TFSI Quattro models come with Drive Select, featuring specific driving modes for comfort, sportiness, or efficiency. They impress with the high standard of interior finish, with top-quality materials and remarkable build quality.
What To Notice When Buying The Used SUV?
In the used Audi Q3 SUV 1.4 TFSI, the clutch discs should be replaced due to natural wear of the parts, indicated by abnormal operating noises. In the 2.0 TFSI engines, which use an oil-bathed gearbox, the lubricant should be changed every 60,000 km.
The direct injection of Audi/VW engines is notorious for carbon buildup on the intake valves, resulting from the recirculation of gases from burning gasoline with a high sulfur content. It also requires attention to the tensioner for the timing chain, to avoid collisions between valves and pistons.
The steering of the used Audi Q3 SUV has excessive play in the steering column bearings, which are the source of unwanted noises in the system. To solve the problem, just tighten the mounting screws, but in extreme cases, it may be worth estimating the cost of replacing the entire steering box.
Regarding the recall of the used SUV, there was only one, related to the activation of the brake lights by the parking brake lever. It involves 2016 and 2017 models manufactured between March 2015 and December 2016.
Owner’s Opinion of a Used Audi Q3 SUV
According to businessman Thiago Marinho, who resides in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), the used SUV is a car suitable for any situation. On the road, the used Audi Q3 SUV is fast and agile, with reduced consumption compared to its performance. The high ground clearance also makes it one of the best options for the city.
However, according to him, the direct injection system requires frequent maintenance to avoid the dreaded carbon buildup on the valves. The prices charged at authorized dealerships are well above the quality of the services provided.
