2025 Lexus UX vs 2025 Audi Q3
Size and Style Differences
The 2025 Audi Q3 leans towards modern and sporty. Offering an elevated experience, the Lexus UX is expressive and elegant. Premium materials and expert craftsmanship create a gorgeous interior.
Both of these rides are luxury subcompact crossovers. This should indicate a similar size. In this case, the Lexus UX has an extra two inches of front legroom. Despite this spaciousness, the UX is nimble and easy to park in urban environments. Its nimble size offers a tighter turning radius (34.2 vs 38.4 ft) than the Audi Q3.
Luxury SUV Prices and Standards
The Audi tends to have a higher starting price compared to the Lexus, and options can add up quickly. When you shop Lexus, you have more wiggle room to afford the amenities and technologies that are important to you. This is important to luxury shoppers with budget limits.
In comparison, the UX comes well-equipped with more standard features, including dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable front seats. Its attractive layout and upscale materials give it a premium feel that defies its price point.
Adding to the feeling of luxury, the UX offers a surprisingly plush and quiet ride, absorbing bumps well. Learn more in this 2025 UX Review.
UX vs Q3 Ownership Costs
Everything points to lower ownership costs for the UX vs Q3. Critics consistently praise the UX hybrid for its excellent MPG, especially in city driving. The Audi Q3 in Phoenix just can’t match it.
Estimated repair costs for a Lexus average $650 to $1000 per year. Audi repair costs average $2,000 to $4,000 a year. While each model has different costs, this certainly indicates that the UX will be easier to maintain.
In fact, the estimated 5-year cost to own reflects the difference in repair costs. The estimate for the Audi Q3 is $57,700 while the estimate for the Lexus UX is $45,000.
Plus Lexus models tend to have higher resale values. This means the UX owner has a chance to recoup costs at the end of their ownership experience. 
Brand Dependability
Warranty coverage should be a consideration for 2025 Audi Q3 shoppers. Compared to the Lexus UX, the Audi warranty ends two years earlier. It runs for four years while the Lexus UX warranty runs for up to six years and 70,000 miles.
Plus, since the UX is a hybrid, it has additional coverage for its hybrid components and hybrid battery. That adds up to two years and 30,000 miles of peace of mind.
Lexus generally holds a significant edge over Audi in long-term reliability. If this holds with the 2025 Lexus UX, it will be a better buy than the Audi Q3 in Phoenix AZ.
In the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, Lexus ranked #1 for the third consecutive year. In striking contrast, Audi ranks below average among premium brands. Lexus significantly outperformed Audi in terms of reported problems and overall dependability, securing the top spot among all automotive brands.
Conclusion
