Audi Q3
Audi’s small utility vehicle is a smart choice, as evidenced by the Best Buy award it received from The Car Guide for 2021. There’s only one engine on the menu, but it’s a good one, namely a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that delivers 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. More powerful models are sold in Europe, including the RS Q3, but sadly not in North America.
