2026 Audi Q3.
Last Updated:


Audi is working on the next-generation Q3 compact SUV. These new spy shots give us a pretty good idea of what it will look like. And again, don’t expect too much.
This is the typical Audi story. The new generation looks almost exactly the same as the previous one, except for a few small new design elements. In this case, the front end has been designed to resemble the new A5 sedan and wagon.
New, but hardly futuristic or even modern. The spy shots above already show how totally invisible the “new” model will be in real life. Something only owners of the current model will notice. I guess the new interior will also look a lot like the A5 interior. Which is basically the same as many new Audi models like the Q6 EV.
The basic engine is rumored to be a mild hybrid powertrain. While we might actually get a PHEV option over here as well. The current model is only offered with one engine here, and it starts at $39,800. The new one will probably cost a bit more.
This isn’t great news. We really need something better from Audi. The current design language has to be over 20 years or more by now.
This i just getting sad…
This looks strikingly similar to the current Ford Escape as well as the last generation BMW X3. If you ever see an Escape parked next to an X3 in the same color—you will see it.
