en.Wedoany.com Reported - One year after the launch of the third-generation Audi Q3 in 2025, Audi has introduced a new Q3 model, with this facelift primarily focusing on configuration upgrades. It continues to offer both the regular SUV and Sportback body styles, with the powertrain covering both fuel and plug-in hybrid options. The new car will begin production in early September, with a starting price of 46,100 euros (approximately 357,000 yuan).
In terms of exterior design, the new Audi Q3 remains consistent with the current model, adopting a blacked-out style to enhance sportiness. The car is equipped with digital matrix LED headlights, where the daytime running lights can be programmed to display various patterns, and feature adaptive cornering and projection functions. The headlight system effectively prevents glare for oncoming vehicles and dynamically adjusts light distribution. The taillights also support programmable display of different patterns, and the rear badge can illuminate itself.
Inside, the new model adds a 10.9-inch front passenger display for the first time, along with a head-up display, an 11.9-inch instrument cluster, and a 12.8-inch central control screen. A rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated seats are now standard across all trims. The infotainment system has been upgraded, with the MMI system integrating more applications that can run independently without connecting to a smartphone. The Audi assistant supports voice control for various vehicle functions. The steering wheel now features a new roller control, the in-car wireless charging power has been increased from 15 watts to 25 watts, and the rear seats offer three charging ports.
The new Audi Q3 offers three personalized optional packages: the Tech Package, Tech Plus Package, and Tech Pro Package, covering upgrades such as suspension enhancement, acoustic glass, a Sonos audio system, and lumbar support. The adaptive cruise control system has been upgraded, utilizing big data to adjust speed and following distance. Valet parking mode ensures the security of in-car data information.
Under the hood, the new model retains the current powertrain configuration. The gasoline models offer three power options: the entry-level 1.5T engine incorporates mild hybrid and cylinder deactivation technologies to reduce fuel consumption; the mid- and high-power models are equipped with a 2.0T engine, with maximum outputs of 110 kW, 150 kW, and 195 kW respectively. The mid- and high-power versions are all equipped with the quattro all-wheel-drive system and a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. Additionally, the new car offers a diesel version with a maximum power of 110 kW. The plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a 25.7 kWh battery pack, offering a pure electric range of 120 km under WLTP conditions. Its 1.5T plug-in hybrid system delivers a combined power of 200 kW and a combined torque of 400 Nm. This model supports 50 kW DC fast charging, taking less than half an hour to charge from 10% to 80%. The maximum towing capacity of the plug-in hybrid model has been increased to 2,000 kg, an improvement of 600 kg over the previous generation.
