2026 Audi Q3 vs 2025 Audi Q3
Serving Bedford, OH
Audi introduces the next-generation Q3 in 2026. The 2026 Q3 features exciting improvements to its design, performance, and more to take your time on the road to the next level. This year, this subcompact luxury crossover comes with one exclusive trim option, the S Line Quattro.
Performance
The 2026 Audi Q3 is equipped with an updated suspension system and a reengineered powertrain. This new system includes a TFSI 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gas engine that produces 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine mates with a seven-speed S Tronic automatic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard for the 2026 Q3. With its improved capabilities, this premium crossover takes you from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds.
Appearance
The new look of the 2026 Audi Q3 makes it the envy of other drivers everywhere it goes. From the side view, you can appreciate the gentle descent of the linear roof as it approaches the raked liftgate. The rear is designed with a slender light bar running between the dynamic LED lamps. At the front, the well-defined hood is short and swooping. The sides are styled with a unique wheel design, brilliant contouring, and a thick accent line rolling across the bottom of the door panels. Small, geometric LED elements accent the sleek headlights. The reshaped grille has a standout mesh pattern. Flanking the grille, large air inlets stand tall and carry the fog lights. You can upgrade your Q3 with blacked-out styling. Dark elements are available for the grille, badging, trim, mirror housings, and wheels.
Features
The restyled cabin also has new features for your benefit behind the wheel. The larger dual display screens in the 2026 Q3 deliver access to the new Digital Stage MMI infotainment system. The heated steering wheel has revamped controls, and the dual-pane acoustic glass buffers sound. Sliding and reclining seats are now standard for the rear row in the 2026 model year. Other available features in the latest model year include traffic sign recognition, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Audi Connect CARE, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, front seat memory functions, and customizable ambient lighting.
