Tesla Model Y and Audi Q3 itself are two different levels of two SUVs, but due to positioning, price and other factors, the two often appear to compare competitive relationships. And recently, Tesla China announced the price adjustment of the domestic Tesla, did not expect this first drop of the New Year up to 48,000 yuan, and a Tesla 2022 models modified rear-wheel drive version of the price also dropped to 259,900 yuan, as a compaLIn, here we see the Audi Q3 is a similarly priced 2023 models 35TFSI Progressive Dynamic, guide price of 278,800 yuan. However, the Audi Q3 has a good discount, the price difference after the discount is not too big, so it is relatively fair to compare.
Tesla Model Y vs Audi Q3: Exterior and Interior Differences
Tesla Model Y and Audi Q3 should be said to be visually both feel more youthful, except that the Tesla Model Y is still developed to minimize wind resistance in dynamic driving, from the closed front face to the hidden electric door handles, to the rear appearing spoiler tail, all will serve the dynamic driving of the vehicle from the aerodynamic link. We also see the body dimensions of 4750/1921/1624mm with a wheelbase figure of 2890mm, where the width of 1.92m also indicates its low wind resistance wide body orientation.
The Audi Q3 side maintains a highly recognizable polygonal grille and shaped headlight combination, with a three-zone separation of the lower grille and deflector hole structure, visually emphasizing the sense of movement is still very clear. At the same time, the perfect chassis envelope is relatively independent, and passability will benefit from it, and the large amount of retained primary color chrome is producing a sense of luxury that distinguishes it from the Tesla. At the same time, the Audi Q3 body size data are 4495/1848/1616mm, the wheelbase is 2680mm, the difference in positioning makes it still smaller than the Tesla Model Y a large circle.
The Tesla Model Y continues to pursue a simple style, with only the touch screen and steering wheel as the main controls on the center console, the former measuring 15.0 inches and the latter a leather-wrapped three-spoke design with hidden air vents, while the lack of a dashboard will make some drivers less comfortable at first. As the gearshift adopts electronic pocket gear, the front of the armrest box has more stoLYRIQ compartments and the layout of non-slip wireless charging board. In the decoration, most of the fender structure is still hard ground material plus surface soft package, the center and door panels will get the wood grain decorative panels that surround across the area.
The Audi Q3 comes with a sporty weight deflection, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with 10.1-inch touchscreen in a high-low staggered layout, a newly designed three-spoke steering wheel covered with leather, and air vents all in a top-mounted layout. The gearshift mechanism retains the mechanical gear knob design, which takes up a relatively small amount of space, while the moderate addition of Alcantara suede fabric will be the finishing touch to the decor, and the mix of leather and Alcantara in the sports seats will be a more outstanding link.
Tesla Model Y's intelligent system is better than Audi Q3
Onboard technology, Tesla Model Y and Audi Q3 have intelligent connectivity, while Tesla Model Y's Tesla OS carries more digital, auxiliary and infotainment functions, its interface is no different from the smart tablet, and also supports background switching, split-screen display and other functions, and assisted driving, seat adjustment, air conditioning control, etc. can be completed in which the adjustment control, even to The car itself can also provide some game software to expand the entertainment. In addition, the car's intelligent voice control and remote control content is also richer than the Audi Q3.
In addition, the vehicle is equipped with L2 level assisted driving + full speed adaptive cruise as standard, but also optional full FSD, through the opening of L3 level assisted driving to achieve remote parking, remote summoning + moving the car, automatic lane change, on and off ramps, etc. This high-level capability is not available in the vast majority of current models.
Audi Q3's car engine is relatively conservative, it does not even provide built-in navigation, and does not support voice control, only in remote control has the door unlock command, and the main entertainment function expansion needs to be achieved through CarPlay/CarLife cell phone connectivity, and retain Android Auto is a highlight of it. The Audi Q3's assisted driving is more limited and does not achieve L2 level, only fixed speed cruise control is available in terms of assistance, and the driving assistance image is required as an option, while active braking and forward collision warning will slightly improve some safety.
Tesla Model Y is more powerful
Power, Tesla Model Y got a maximum power 194kW, maximum torque 340N-m electric motor, it has been able to help the vehicle break 100 in 6.9 seconds, and Ningde Time production of lithium iron phosphate battery pack, will bring the vehicle 545km CLTC pure electric range, according to 60kWh battery energy calculation, even 1.8 yuan / kWh commercial Charging pile, a full charge is only 108 yuan, the aveLYRIQ energy cost is 0.2 yuan/km.
The Audi Q3 is equipped with a 1.4TFSI turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N-m. With a 7-speed S-tronic dual clutch transmission, it takes 9.8 seconds to break 100, while the NEDC fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km, and according to the 60L fuel tank volume and 8.15 RMB/L fuel price, it takes 489 RMB to fill up a tank of fuel. Yuan, according to the 895km range, the aveLYRIQ energy cost is 0.55 Yuan/km.
Among the chassis, Tesla Model Y gets a high specification hardware combination of front double wishbone + rear multi-link, while Audi Q3 keeps the common front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension combination, both from the hardware specifications and from the actual tuning, Tesla Model Y will be the player that can bring better body stability control while maintaining excellent filtration.
Write in the end
The Tesla Model Y and Audi Q3 are both SUVs with a good reputation, and although the two models are in different classes, they are aimed at consumer groups that are very close to each other, partly because of the price and partly because they both have a youthful aspect. But in today's compaLIn, the Tesla Model Y is clearly doing better in terms of hardware and software, whether it is performance and suspension, or software level intelligence, cheaper and easier to raise the Tesla Model Y is the model we will recommend today.
