The redesigned 2026 Audi Q3 is for luxury SUV shoppers who prize style and comfort just as much as performance and technology. This year’s redesign impacts all of those categories, bringing a more spacious interior along with new, first-of-its-kind exterior lighting. Audi Santa Monica customers will also love this SUV’s revamped engine, which now boasts class-leading horsepower and acceleration.
Power and Performance
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI® engine powering this new Audi SUV is an incredible achievement. It not only achieves 273 lb-ft of torque, but also best-in-class 255 horsepower and class-leading acceleration from zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. Plus, the Audi Q3 can tow up to 1,500 lbs. Complementing this engine are quattro® all-wheel drive and a new seven-speed S tronic® automatic transmission.
Infotainment
Premium infotainment features are many for the Audi Q3. Twin displays—one an 11.9-inch instrument cluster and the other a 12.8-inch MMI® touch display—combine to form a wraparound Audi virtual cockpit®. The new onboard UX efficiently enables amenities such as wireless smartphone connectivity and Audi connect®, which includes navigation with real-time traffic. Wireless charging and four USB-C ports are also standard, and for the first time, a Sonos premium 12-speaker sound system is available.
Cabin
The storage capacity of the 2026 Audi Q3 is bigger than ever. You’ll have 29 cubic feet of rear trunk space, or 50 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. Plus, the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats come with slide, recline, and fold capability, for maximum cargo versatility. This year’s Audi Q3 is also the first to feature standard dual-pane acoustic glass for the front side windows.
