Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q3, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q3 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Audi Q3 is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q3 is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Audi Q3, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Handling
The Audi Q3 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q3 has a lot less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Powertrain
The Audi Q3 has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The Audi Q3 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
