A Fresh Look That Feels Confident

A bold new design is shown on the all new Q3, and it stands out without trying too hard. Sharp lines and a strong stance are used to give it a sporty look. The large Singleframe grille is placed up front, and integrated LED headlights add a clean signature. Standard S line bumpers are included too, so the front air inlets and rear diffuser look more athletic. A distinctive rear taillight bar is also used, and illuminated Audi rings add a premium detail at night.

Wheels That Change the Whole Vibe

The Q3 comes standard with 18 inch wheels, and a composed ride is delivered for city driving. Available 19 inch wheels can be chosen for a more dynamic look and feel. If more presence is wanted, the Technik trimline is the one to watch, because 19 inch wheels are standard and an available 20 inch option can be selected. It feels like a simple upgrade, but it changes the whole attitude of the SUV.

Lighting That Helps You See and Be Seen

Sleek LED headlights are standard on the all new Q3, and a DRL signature is included for that modern Audi look. A rear taillight bar is also used to create a wider look from behind. For drivers who want more advanced lighting, available Digital Matrix LED headlights can be chosen. Glare for oncoming drivers is reduced by using individual LEDs, and selectable daytime running light signature projections can add a personal touch.

Turbo Power That Feels Easy

A revised turbocharged engine is used in the 2026 Q3, and 255 horsepower is produced. Torque is rated at 273 lb ft, so it feels responsive when merging onto Highway 417 or passing slower traffic. The 0 to 100 km per hour time is 5.9 seconds, which feels quick in real driving. Standard quattro all wheel drive helps traction stay steady when roads are slippery. A 7 speed S tronic gearbox is also used, and it brings a smooth and quick shifting feel that makes the drive feel more lively.

Steering That Makes Tight Spots Less Stressful

Progressive steering is included to make the Q3 feel more natural in different situations. At lower speeds, effort is reduced, so parking lots and tight turns feel easier. At higher speeds, steering response stays stable, which helps on longer drives. It is the kind of feature that is not noticed right away, but it is appreciated every day.

A Cabin That Feels Warm and Welcoming

Inside the Q3, a driver focused cockpit is used, and premium materials are placed where your hands and eyes go most. Ambient lighting can be customized, so the cabin can match your mood. A heated steering wheel is standard, and heated front seats with driver memory are included too. A panoramic sunroof is also offered, and it brings in more light, which feels great during winters when the days feel short.

Tech That Keeps Life Simple

A 12.8 inch MMI touch display is standard, so maps, music, and settings are easier to manage. The 11.9 inch wraparound virtual cockpit works with the main display, and a panoramic digital view is created with key info always in sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be used to connect your favourite apps and messages. Audi connect can also be added for helpful tools like remote services and assistance features. For drivers who love sound, an available Sonos premium sound system is offered with 12 speakers and 420 watts of power. An available head up display can also be added, so key driving info is projected within your field of vision.
