The 2026 Audi Q3 must be feeling frisky as it’s running around town virtually undisguised. This is a boon for us as we can clearly see the production body. The changes are immediately apparent as the redesigned crossover adopts a more curvaceous front fascia with a rounded mesh grille. The latter is flanked by split lighting units and a sizable central intake.
Moving further back, we can see
evolutionary bodywork that features a mix of soft curves and sharp lines. More notably,
the model appears to have grown in size as we can see larger third quarter
glass. Other notable highlights include a sleeker roof, a sportier D-pillar,
and more pronounced wheel arches. The model also has a distinctive rear end
with a pronounced bumper and heavily stylized taillights.
Spy photographers haven’t gotten a look
inside, but the crossover will presumably follow in the footsteps of newer
models such as the A5 and Q6 e-tron. If that’s the case, the cabin could
feature an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster that flows into a 14.5-inch
infotainment system. They may even be joined by an optional 10.9-inch front
passenger display.
Engine options remain unconfirmed, but
rumors have suggested the Q3 could share some powertrains with the Volkswagen
Tiguan. It offers an assortment of petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid options
with outputs ranging from 129 hp to 262 hp.
