The higher-spec variant of the Q3 Zenith comes with several high-end features compared to the Nova variant. It is packed with the digital matrix headlights with digital light signatures, headlight washers, white wood elements in the interiors, twin-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, USB-C charging ports, 12-speaker Sonos sound system, Head-Up Display (HUD), nine airbags and proactive occupant protection.
Pre-bookings for the SUV are already open and its local production has already been started at the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. Prices of the new Audi Q3 for India will be revealed on October 16, 2026. Interested customers can book the new Q3 luxury SUV through Audi's official website, the myAudi Connect application and authorised dealerships by paying a token amount of Rs 1 lakh.
Powering the new Audi Q3 is a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that produces 201 bhp and a peak torque of 320 Nm. It is paired to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox along with Audi's Quatro AWD technology. The new Q3 is claimed to achieve 0-100kmph acceleration in 7.1 seconds before hitting a top speed of 229kmph.
