2024 Audi Q3 Summary

The 2025 Audi Q3 Sportback is a small but not-too-small SUV that sits within a close-knit segment. The Q3 Sportback attempts to spice up the premium end of this small SUV market by offering a design-focused 'coupe' body style, but is it enough for it to go 'tyre to tyre' against its main rival, the new BMW X2?

It's other rivals are also renowned for their luxury and on-road prowess - think the Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus UX. However, the changes for the new Q3 are small and its rivals have all benefitted from a recent refresh.

In this review we explore how the top-model Sportback S line 40 TSFI quattro handles being an urban dweller.

2024 Volkswagen T-ROC Summary

For a small SUV that technically starts under the $40,000 mark, the 2024 Volkswagen T-Roc has a fair bit going for it.

It’s still in its first generation, but updates have made some parts of the T-Roc feel properly up to speed. And the parts that haven’t? Well, maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

We’re driving the mid-spec Style 110TSI, which sits above the base CityLife, but below the R-Line. Then of course, there’s the wicked R variant.

But is this a Euro that could replace your trusted Japanese small SUV?
