Is 26 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2018 and 2026, roughly 3 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2018 has 26 complaints on file, fewer than the 2016 (28) and more than the 2019 (10). Of the 8 model years of the Audi Q3 we cover, the 2020 has the most (65). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
