2026 Audi Q3: Price and Trims
The 2026 Audi Q3, with a starting price to be announced, was offered in three trims in 2025:

2026 Audi Q3: Interior and Exterior Design
Much more dynamic and sportier than the outgoing model, the third-generation 2026 Audi Q3 stands out with a Singleframe radiator grille, sleek LED headlights and digital OLED taillights featuring a light strip that runs the full width of the vehicle, including the well-illuminated Audi rings.
Upon closer inspection, the new luxury subcompact SUV is more muscular than its predecessor, notably with its curved fenders and 18- to 20-inch rims. For 2026, you can choose from eleven stunning body colours, including Madeira brown and Sage Green.
Inside the vehicle, technological features take centre stage. You will now have access to an 11.9-inch driver cluster and a 12.8-inch touch screen oriented toward the driver.
You will also appreciate the vehicle’s even quieter cabin thanks to the introduction of acoustic glass at the front. The seats remain as comfortable as ever, and the rear bench can now recline, allowing you to relax.
