The X1 was much more comfortable, massively more spacious inside, rode better, and looked and felt like it was an entire class more upscale than the Q3. Opinions, incidentally, that are shared by just about every comparison test.

The X1 was so dominant in winning the comparison that the gap between 1st and 2nd was larger than the gap between 2nd and last. Last, by the way, was where the Audi Q3 finished. And again that's just one of many.
Anyway, enjoy yours. |
Different strokes you know.
I never take the comparos that seriously, regardless of what I currently drive or what I am looking at. They just supply a point of reference, owing to the fact that these organizations exist to sell magazines or promote themselves in some way...aka, you never know what the motivations are with a particular review or comparison.
Like I said earlier in the thread, my gf has a 2016 Q3 and it is one of the smoothest riding cars I have ever been in. It's quiet, and comfortable and absorbs bumps really well. Looks are subjective, so no need to go there...but there's no denying that one of Audi's strengths lies in the interiors of their cars. The Q3 is no different, and is a very nice place to be.
