Audi has revealed the third-generation Q3, a compact SUV that blends bold design, cutting-edge technology and efficient powertrains. Available as both SUV and Sportback, the new Q3 builds on more than a decade of success with fresh styling, improved practicality and electrified performance.
At launch, the Q3 will offer a lineup of efficient combustion engines, mild hybrids and a powerful plug-in hybrid. The plug-in model delivers 200 kW (268 hp) and up to 119 km (74 miles) of electric range, thanks to a 25.7 kWh battery and DC fast charging up to 50 kW. Conventional models include a 1.5L TFSI and 2L TDI, with adaptive suspension options designed to balance comfort and agility. The Q3’s design cues lean into Audi’s heritage with a wide Singleframe grille, sharp LED headlamps and optional digital Matrix LED technology, a first in the compact segment. At the rear, OLED taillights and a continuous LED strip complete the look.
Inside, the Q3 offers more space than before, with up to 48.9 cu ft of cargo capacity in SUV form. Standard features include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless smartphone integration, digital driver display and over 140 available safety and assistance systems. The new Audi Q3 launches in Europe this fall, priced from €44,600 EUR (approximately $52,170 USD) in Germany, with U.S. availability expected to follow.
