The five cylinder is back, now with more power! The new Audi RS Q3 is finally here, in a standard version and a racy new Sportback. The 2020 RSQ3 is one of the best fast SUVs you can buy if what you really want is a hot hatch with more space. But is the RSQ3 worth $90,000 here in Australia? Should you buy an RS Q3 over a GLA 45 or an S3? We think this new Audi makes a clear argument for itself. In today’s video, Tom takes you on a detailed review of the 2021 Audi RSQ3, including the 2.5-litre five cylinder engine, interior, boot space, and driving dynamics.

Should you buy an Audi RS Q3 or RS Q3 Sportback? You’ve come to the right place.
