For most of its 24 months in the U.S., the Audi Q3 has been an odd duck. Despite being a new entry from a hot brand in the growing crop of baby luxury crossovers, the Q3 notched just 13,229 sales last year, a little more than half of the volume enjoyed by the rival Mercedes-Benz GLA. But this year, the Q3 is gaining momentum, and Audi is closing that gap. It posted 12,525 Q3 sales through August, a 46 percent gain from 2015 and within 3,000 units of the GLA. Q3 volume peaked in August at a record 2,238 sales, shattering its previous record of around 1,800 set in July and more than doubling the GLA's August tally.
