About the Audi Q3

Infused with a robust powertrain, eye-catching exterior styling, and an enhanced premium interior that's packed with functionality - the Audi Q3 sets the standard for a compact luxury SUV. Bold, athletic styling matches the innovative Audi SUV design language that debuted on the larger Q8. Thanks to dimensions that are slightly more expansive than the previous generation, the Q3 offers more generous cargo and passenger room. Technology remains a core strength of the Q3 thanks to a groundbreaking 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster along with a standard 12.8-inch MMI® touch response display. Other premium standard features also include heated leather front seats and a panoramic sunroof. Advanced driver-assistive safety technologies such as standard adaptive cruise control help give you greater confidence behind the wheel. The Audi Q3 is positioned to target even its most established rivals in the compact luxury SUV segment.

What the Critics Say

"While our future instrumented test will confirm any acceleration improvements, we can say that the Q3 we drove felt plenty peppy, with prompt initial throttle response and snappy shifts that kept the four-pot on boil, especially in the sportier drive settings. Every Q3 still comes with standard all-wheel drive, but the previous generation's eight-speed torque-converter automatic has been replaced with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission." - Car and Driver

"On a twisty country road, the Q3 also shines with speedy reflexes, especially once you flip on Sport mode. Despite not being a powerful car, per se, at 255 hp, the little crossover changes attitudes and makes you feel like a wannabe Scottish rally driver. Navigating hilly, undulating, and very narrow roads (on the wrong side of the road) at over 60 mph was loads of fun.” – Yahoo Auto

What's New for 2026

In short, everything about the compact Audi Q3 is new for the 2026 model year. From an extensive visual refresh to a reimagined interior with new tech and enhanced performance, the Q3 is back and better than ever. Luxury SUV shoppers are invited to experience all that the all-new Q3 has to offer for 2026 right here at Audi Ann Arbor.

Audi Q3 Features

Athletic Styling & Performance

Immediately recognizable as an Audi SUV, the Q3 sports enhanced styling that's bolder and more vibrant than its predecessor. Up front, a wide S-style radiator grille is complemented on each side by sleek LED headlamps featuring a unique daytime running light signature. Its larger exterior dimensions are responsible for giving the Q3 a more powerful stance on the road. Under the hood lies a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Turbocharged/TFSI® engine that produces 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, a significant increase over the prior generation. Legendary quattro® all-wheel drive and a standard seven-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission work in harmony to give you greater agility and control across all types of weather conditions. You'll also be able to customize your driving experience with Audi drive select which features five selectable drive modes including comfort, balanced, dynamic, offroad, and individual.

Sophisticated Interior & Technology

Now roomier than ever before, the upscale interior of the Audi Q3 gives you the space to help you create lasting memories. An emphasis on minimalism, evidenced by the flush door handles and uncluttered center console, creates a sense of spaciousness inside the cabin. Now in its latest iteration, the standard Audi virtual cockpit features a 1.9-inch instrument cluster and 12.8-inch MMI touch display. When optioned with MMI Navigation and Audi connect, the Q3 is capable of wireless Apple CarPlay® for greater convenience. Giving you lifelike 3D surround sound is the available 420-watt SONOS premium sound system. Standard LED interior lighting allows you to personalize the ambiance inside the cabin of your Audi Q3.

Groundbreaking Driver-Assistance

Since even the best drivers appreciate more confidence behind the wheel, the Audi Q3 includes a comprehensive collection of newly standard and available driver assistance features. Standard active front assist uses a camera to monitor the front of the vehicle and gives the driver both visual and acoustic warnings should it detect any danger. Front emergency brake assist can intervene to help prepare the vehicle for impact in the event of an inevitable collision. Other examples of available safety technologies include Audi side assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic assist, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, and parking system plus. An available top-view camera system relies on four wide-angle 360-degree cameras to give you a comprehensive look at your vehicle's surroundings.
