As a subcompact luxury crossover SUV, the 2022 Audi Q3 is a joy to drive and is easily controllable with it being the smallest SUV that Audi offers. If what you need is a small SUV to meet your needs, the Q3 is your top SUV. A similar SUV is offered by Honda, and that is the 2022 Honda Passport. To aid you in making an informed decision, we have prepared a comparison.

Design & Style

SUVs are built bulkier than sedans, thus allowing for increased storage volume and occupancy. However, the problem with driving a sizeable vehicle is that it can be difficult to handle, thus making it less suitable for new drivers. However, this issue is reduced by the Q3 due to its shorter and narrower design, making it smaller than the competing Passport. With the Q3, you will find that you can easily drive it without compromising on storage volume.

Technology & Safety

Safety is of utmost importance in any vehicle. In both the Q3 and Passport, you will find that their safety technology is highly remarkable. For example, they have standard airbags at various positions, rearview cameras, and child safety locks to stop children from opening the doors at the back of the SUV. However, the Q3 one-ups the Passport in many of its safety technology and provides occupants with a greater peace of mind. Not only does the Q3 offer rearview, it also lets the driver to see all around the SUV by showing the top view. This is unavailable on the Passport. The child safety locks on the Q3 are also powered so that the driver can configure them easily from a screen. On the Passport, the child safety locks have to be manually switched on at each car door. Clearly, the Q3 prevails in safety technology.

Performance

If we are merely looking at horsepower, the Passport prevails in that it has 280 hp whereas the Q3 only has 228 hp. However, horsepower is not the only way to judge a vehicle’s performance. Comparing between the fuel mileage, the Q3 prevails, thus saving money for the owner in the long run. The alternator of the Q3 has 140-amp whereas the Passport’s is 130-amp, thus increasing the power of Q3 in its ignition and battery recharge.

The Bottom Line

After comparing between the Q3 and Passport, we have concluded that the Q3 is the wiser decision based on several aspects that are important when evaluating a vehicle. Whether you are a new or seasoned driver, the Q3 will surely meet your SUV demands and give you a smooth driving experience.
