2024 Audi Q3

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Q3.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Audi Q3 pairs an eight-speed automatic transmission (S8) with EPA-rated fuel economy of 22 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. Across the nameplate's reliability record covering model years 2008 through 2026, the 2024 model year has so far drawn 17 owner complaints — most concentrated around the service brakes — alongside two recalls, a tally that sits well below the model's worst-performing year, 2020, which logged 63 complaints, though still modestly above the single complaint recorded in 2008. For researchers, that positioning places the 2024 Q3 on the calmer end of the nameplate's complaint spectrum, while the brake-system concentration and open recalls remain the most concrete threads worth tracking.

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 2024 Audi Q3 records 17 consumer complaints, 2 recalls and 579 technical service bulletins (TSBs), positioning it in the middle of the generation’s complaint curve—higher than the low‑point years of 2008, 2015, 2017, 2021, 2025 and 2026, but well below the spike in 2020 (63 complaints). Recall activity for 2024 (2) mirrors the recent steady level seen from 2015 through 2021, and is lower than the three‑recall peaks of 2016, 2017 and 2019. The TSB count drops sharply after 2020 (870) to 579 in 2024, indicating a reduction in documented service issues relative to the early‑mid‑generation peak. The top complaint areas in 2024 are evenly split among Service Brakes, Unknown/Other, and Electrical System, with only one Power‑Train issue, and there is just one crash‑related complaint and no fire complaints. **Takeaway:** 2024 sits in a moderate‑risk zone—fewer recalls and a declining TSB trend suggest it is a comparatively safe year to purchase, provided the buyer inspects the brake and electrical systems.
