Default No Memory Seats in Q3 (after all these years)

I've owned 3 Q3's from 2015 to now and I cant figure out why Audi keeps forgetting to add Memory Seats to the Q3 line in the USA.

I'm about to buy a 2020 Q3, and my hunch is that they still don't have memory seats....but WHY!

Such a normal feature in other Audi, and for that matter, across all other car brands in general, but yet Audi missed it in the Q3.

I am on the Audi USA website and I cant find anywhere that the Audi Q3 comes with Memory Seats. I looked under the "Prestige" model and didn't see it.

Can you copy/paste a link or screenshot please?

I have 2020 Q3 Prestige - no memory seats. I’ve had memory seats in all my previous vehicles for as long as I can remember. I was really disappointed. I’d give up my hands free parking for memory seats. However, I decided on the Q3 because I really liked most everything else and have been very happy with my Q3.

No memory seats on a 2020, even Prestige model. Pretty clearly a (dumb) value engineering decision. If you look at the 2020 optioned up close cousin VW Tiguan you will find them. But on the Tiguan the passenger seat goes to non-power relative to Q3 set up. Not a very effective way to sell the (older design) Q5's in my mind either, but often this stuff is about grade school marketing like that.

Sullies the sense of brand quality and decision makers behind these things to me. I would have paid the incremental delta. Fortunately lots of other goodies to make up for it.

The only car I've had with memory seats was my M3. They were nice, yes, but hardly anything I miss.

Was not a factor for me. I’m the only one that drives it.

Not a factor for me either, more important was the motorized passenger seat so wife could adjust easily as she wanted.
