2026 Audi Q3 India Launch - Hybrid Engine, New Look, & More Features

New-Gen Audi Q3 is coming to India in 2026 with a fresh design, new features, and exciting engine options. It made its global debut in June 2025, and car enthusiasts are already looking forward to what it will bring to the Indian market.

What's New in the 2026 Audi Q3?

The 2026 Audi Q3 is built on a new platform, the MQB, which it shares with the Audi A3 and VW Golf. This gives the new Q3 a little more space inside, while still keeping the compact SUV feel that fans love. It will be available in two body styles - the classic SUV and a Sportback version for those who prefer a sportier, coupe-like look.

New Audi Q3 - Exterior Design

The new-gen Audi Q3 has a very bold and modern redesign. The front features a large hexagonal grille with Audi’s new 2D logo, while the headlights are upgraded with digital Matrix LED technology, which improves visibility at night.

The rear of the SUV is also updated, with split tail lights, optional OLED lighting, and an illuminated Audi logo bar. These new design features give the 2026 Audi Q3 a stylish look. Audi will also offer a range of wheels from 17 to 20 inches, so you can choose the one that suits your taste.

Inside the 2026 Audi Q3

The interior of the 2026 Audi Q3 will feel luxurious and modern. The cabin wil feature an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch MMI infotainment system, giving you all the latest tech at your fingertips.

Audi has also redesigned the steering wheel and integrated the gear selector, making it more comfortable and easier to use. The materials inside are high-quality so that the cabin feels premium and stylish.
