What cars should I consider that have a 'luxury feel'
Asked by Kylie
I test drove an Audi Q3 but was disappointed. Considering the price, I felt the interior lacked that 'luxury feel' and have read some interesting reviews regarding power. Any suggestions on where to look next?

11 Jan 2024It all depends on what aspect of the car disappointed you, Kylie. The clinical feel of an Audi interior is not a chance thing and the brand spends lots of time and money ensuring that its cabins and driving environments are among the most ergonomically savvy in the game. If, however, that makes the thing feel something less than special, then this is a classic example of where perception is reality. For you (which is what matters).
I'd also be interested to know what variant you drove that prompted you to ask questions about engine performance. The Q3 is available in one variant with 110kW and 250Nm, but also a higher-spec version with 132kW and a much meatier 320Nm. These feel quite different to drive thanks to the extra performance of the latter.
Beyond the Audi brand, the world is your oyster. The phenomenal popularity of SUVs means that pretty much every maker has one of each size in their line-up. They come in all grades of trim and cover a huge range of price-points. Check out the Carsguide website reviews section and you'll see what we mean.
