Fourth generation (8Y, 2020-present) · Premium family hatchback

Audi Q3

Second generation (F3, 2018-present) · Premium compact crossover

What roof type does the Audi Q3 have? On UK cars this is flush rails common on mid and higher trims; raised on some. Compact SUVs at this size often carry flush roof rails on mid trims and up; some pre-facelift examples used raised rails, so identify by trim and build year before ordering.
