2026 Audi Q3 review: finally back on the right track
The new Q3 improves comfort, technology, and handling. A few details still need refinement, but Audi’s compact SUV has regained its character.
The new Audi Q3 enters a new generation and finds a more convincing balance. The version tested in the United States uses a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 255 hp, a dual-clutch transmission, and all-wheel drive. On the road, it impresses with comfort, stability, and cabin quality, while the new multimedia system gives the interior a more modern feel.
It is not flawless: transmission response and brake modulation could be better, especially in urban driving. Engines and equipment may differ for the Italian market, but the direction is clear: the Q3 is once again one of the strongest choices among premium compact SUVs.
