2025 Audi Q3

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Q3.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2025 Audi Q3 utilizes an Automatic (S8) transmission and carries EPA fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Reliability metrics show just three owner complaints—clustered in the engine and fuel/propulsion system—and one recall, reflecting minimal reported issues. Within the 2008–2026 model history that spans from one complaint in 2008 to 63 in 2020, this low complaint count places the 2025 variant among the more reliable iterations.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Audi Q3 sits at the mature tail end of this generation's lifecycle, and the federal data reflects a clear downward arc in both complaints and technical service bulletins. Complaints peaked at 63 in 2020 and have since declined sharply — 17 in 2024, just 3 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 — while TSBs have fallen from a high of 870 in 2020 to 379 in 2025, suggesting that the bulk of known issues have been identified and addressed through prior model years' service actions. The single recall in 2025 matches the generation's floor (tied with 2018), and the three logged complaints span disparate areas — engine/propulsion, seats, and electrical/seat belts — with no clustering to suggest a systemic defect. Notably, there are zero crash-related or fire-related complaints for the target year. The data does not specify root causes for any of these complaints, so no definitive issue can be identified. For a buyer, the 2025 model year represents a late-cycle, stabilized vehicle with minimal federal red flags, making it a relatively low-risk used purchase within this generation.
