Exterior Features & Design
The new look of the 2026 Audi Q3 focuses on an emotional design. It has a wide Singleframe grille spanning the front fascia with tapered headlights that lead into the aerodynamic lines. A defined shoulder line runs between the front and rear lights, creating two dynamic sections that catch the light. Digital Matrix LED headlights are taken from the full-size Audi SUVs and placed onto the 2026 Audi Q3, marking the first time Audi includes a micro-LED module. Auto-adjusting lights maximize visibility throughout your drive.
Anyone looking for a sportier design can rely on the S line equipment. Redesigned front and rear bumpers and silver add-on parts are optional. You can also add a black exterior package. You can find many color options and wheel styles to ensure you find one that matches your preferences.
Performance & Eco Options
The base engine is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine integrated with mild-hybrid technology to provide the boost of power you can enjoy. The mild hybrid system takes over under medium loads to promote a more efficient drive. A seven-speed transmission keeps your drive smooth and controlled.
A plug-in hybrid powertrain will also be available once the 2026 Audi Q3 is released. It provides quick acceleration and incredible efficiency with a larger battery than previous generations. The electric-only driving range has increased, and charging time has decreased. We can work with you to find the availability of the plug-in hybrid once the 2026 Q3 becomes available.
Technology & Safety
A panoramic display houses an 11.9-inch instrument cluster and 12.8-inch infotainment display. These systems provide a driver-centric display that makes it easy to see necessary details and change essential settings. The head-up display complements the panoramic display by putting necessary information in your line of sight. You can upgrade to a SONOS premium sound system for an improved listening experience.
Many innovative driver assistance and safety features make the 2026 Audi Q3 an even more appealing option. Standard features will include adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, attention and fatigue monitoring, and more. The emergency assist system has been redesigned to take command of the vehicle if the driver doesn't react, marking the first time the system can do that.
