Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-50 than in the Audi Q3, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Audi Q3 and the Mazda CX-50.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q3 as you will with the Mazda CX-50, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Audi Q3 or the Mazda CX-50, it's going to cost you about the same.
Dimensions
Since the Audi Q3 is much slimmer than the Mazda CX-50, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
If you go with the Audi Q3, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-50.

The Audi Q3 has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-50, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance

With somewhat higher torque, the Audi Q3 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Mazda CX-50.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q3 and the Mazda CX-50.
The Audi Q3 has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-50, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
