The Q3 is practical, has plenty of tech and is decent to drive. However, the Range Rover Evoque and Volvo XC40 are both classier inside, more comfortable and are, ultimately, better all-rounders.
Sport trim is certainly worth a look. It shares the generous standard equipment list of the entry-level Technik trim but has larger 18in alloy wheels and some styling tweaks.
This is all the engine most Q3 buyers will want or need. It has enough oomph at low revs to avoid you needing to work it hard, but when you are in a hurry can haul the Q3 from 0-62mph in 9.6sec (9.4sec if you've gone for the optional S tronic automatic gearbox).
