Nobody asked Audi to touch the Q3 again — it only just got a full redesign. But the Germans decided that if there's an excuse, why not use it? The crossover has been refreshed for the 2027 model year, and this time the changes go straight into the base equipment.
In Germany, the standard kit now includes features buyers used to pay extra for: keyless entry, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a rear-view camera. These used to be locked behind higher-tier packages — now they come out of the box.
The real surprise is a dedicated screen for the front passenger. It measures 10.9 inches, and it's a first for the Q3. The adaptive driving assistant got smarter too: it now taps into online data to fine-tune speed and following distance. And parking can be handled remotely, straight from the myAudi app.
But the real gift went to the e-hybrid version. Its maximum trailer weight jumped by 600 kg, reaching 2,000 kg — a serious bump for a hybrid. The small stuff got an upgrade too, and small stuff is often what actually matters day to day: wireless smartphone charging power climbed from 15 to 25 W, while the three rear USB-C ports now deliver up to 100 W. The infotainment system moved to Android Automotive, a platform Audi keeps leaning on more and more.
Pre-orders for the updated Q3 opened on July 2, 2026, with series production starting in early September. German pricing starts at €46,100 for the SUV and €47,950 for the Sportback.
