Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q3 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Solterra, with comparable head- and legroom. The Subaru Solterra 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.

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 Subaru Solterra, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi Q3 is about the same width as the Subaru Solterra. The Audi Q3 is slightly shorter than the Subaru Solterra, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Audi Q3 has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Solterra, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q3 has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Solterra.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q3 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Solterra.

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