Audi is preparing to launch the third generation of the Q3 for 2026, a luxury compact SUV that arrives completely redesigned. With an aggressive and sophisticated exterior design inspired by its bigger sibling, the Q5, the model stands out with split headlights and taillights, a wider front grille, and sharp creases that give it an imposing and modern stance, promising strong competitiveness in its segment.
Inside, the 2026 Audi Q3 offers a futuristic experience, dominated by an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch multimedia center featuring Android Automotive and an AI voice assistant. Comfort and convenience have been enhanced with a redesigned center console, high-quality materials such as laminated glass for sound insulation, and a generous trunk.
Under the hood, the SUV will offer several powertrain options, including an efficient 2.0-liter turbo with a 48V mild hybrid system, more powerful gasoline versions with all-wheel drive, and a promising plug-in hybrid model with an electric range of up to 62 miles. The launch is scheduled for the end of this year in some markets, with an expected starting price in the same range as the current model.
