New Audi Q3 Launching This Festive Season – 200hp Petrol, Quattro AWD
New Audi Q3 will launch in India during the 2026 festive season. It gets a 200hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with standard quattro AWD. New features include Level 2 ADAS, 360-degree camera and a panoramic sunroof.
Audi has revealed the third-generation Q3 in India ahead of its market launch during the 2026 festive season. The new luxury SUV gets a fresh design, a larger body, a completely updated cabin and more technology than the outgoing model.
The Q3 will be Audi India's first major new product for the next 12 months. The company is also expected to introduce the A5 sedan and Q9 SUV during this period.
New Audi Q3 gets a bigger design
The new Q3 follows Audi's latest design language with a new grille, low-set headlamps and full-LED DRLs. The front bumper also gets contrast-coloured elements. The SUV rides on 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, while the side profile gets body-coloured door handles and ORVMs.
At the rear, Audi has added an illuminated logo, a connected LED light bar and new tail lamps with individual LED elements. The new Q3 has also grown in size. Its length and wheelbase have increased by around 100mm compared with the previous-generation model. This should create more room inside the cabin.

New cabin with more technology
The interior has been completely redesigned. The dashboard now features two large digital screens angled towards the driver, giving the cabin a more modern look. Other highlights include a new steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, redesigned centre console with chrome elements, powered front seats and multi-zone climate control.
The new Q3 will also get Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera and an automatic parking function. Audi is expected to offer more than one interior colour option when the SUV goes on sale.
200hp petrol engine with quattro AWD
The India-spec Audi Q3 will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 200hp and 320Nm of torque. The engine will be paired with a seven-speed DCT automatic gearbox, while Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system will be offered as standard. This means the India-spec Q3 will continue to focus on performance and all-weather capability rather than offering a diesel or front-wheel-drive version.

Audi Q3 launch and expected price
The new Audi Q3 is scheduled to launch in India during the 2026 festive season. Audi is expected to announce the exact launch date and variant details closer to the market introduction. The SUV is expected to be priced around Rs 46 lakh to Rs 52 lakh, ex-showroom.
Once launched, the new Q3 will compete with the BMW X1 LWB, Mercedes-Benz GLA, MINI Countryman and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. It will also face competition from larger SUVs such as the Volkswagen Tayron and Skoda Kodiaq.
