The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.2 Read Our Full Review	5.7 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2019 Audi Q3 whispers “GTI” in the ears of brand-conscious drivers—but it’s, like, discreet about it.	The 2019 BMW X1 crossover is the right shape and the right price for entry luxury buyers willing to overlook some flaws.
TCC Likes
High-tech features standard Frisky turbocharged engine Roomier inside	Good powertrain Spacious cargo area Standard automatic emergency braking
TCC Dislikes
Too big for a subcompact? Tech may require acclimation Could get expensive	...but it’s pricey, like everything else Styling is aged Budget materials in lower trims
