2020 Audi Q3 vs. 2020 Cadillac XT6

The 2020 Audi Q3 is among the few luxury crossovers that are able to truly impress. This compact SUV is not only style-conscious but is also tech-smart. It is engineered to keep up with a demanding lifestyle and does not hold back at giving people a reason to be smitten by its characteristics.

The 2020 Cadillac XT6, on the other hand, is slightly bigger than most compact crossovers. It is as well-equipped as the Escalade but is more on the lighter side. This comparison is a battle between two able crossovers but only one deserves to be on the top spot.  

Design & Style

The Q3 has a commanding presence with its sporty proportions and unique Audi styling. The premium exterior is very palpable on the LED headlights and taillights that look sophisticated even at daytime. The interior design is also just as high-end looking. The roomy interior is designed for comfort with the standard leather seats and ambient lighting.

The XT6 is best known for its toothy grille that spreads wide and with a set of vertical LED lighting on the front. This is probably because there is nothing else that looks remarkable on its exterior. It can easily be lost in a sea of SUVs with its generic-looking exterior styling. As for its cabin, there are elegant details that are worthy of a praise. Leather and real wood details make it look a bit exciting but it is dampened by the hard plastic and other elements that are not premium enough.  

Technology & Safety

The cutting edge technology on the Q3 is headlined by the new MMi. The controls are very similar with what smartphones have so it is intuitive to use. The innovative set of safety features are also admirable, especially the Audi connect. It is like an enhanced navigation system but is more informative and helpful.

The XT6 also has plenty of infotainment features but none of them are sophisticated or modern enough when compared to the MMI. The safety aids are also middling, with only the Rear Vision Camera as something to look forward to.

Performance

All variants of the Q3 runs on a 228-hp 258 lb/ft , 2.0-liter engine. It is more than enough to impart a unique driving experience. It comes standard with the Quattro all-wheel drive system that generally improves traction. This means that driving on an inclement weather will not be a problem with the Q3.

A 3.6-liter V6 engine with up to 310 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque is under the hood of the XT6. It may sound powerful but it is not as engaging to drive compared to the Q3.  

The Bottom Line

When it comes to luxury vehicles, it is important to be able to exceed expectations. Only the 2020 Audi Q3 is able to do just that in this comparison.
