Audi elevates the compact luxury SUV

Audi’s all-new redesigned 2026 Q3 brings together progressive design, advanced technology and dynamic performance, setting a new standard for what driving can feel like.

Innovation. Comfort. Power. These are tangible feelings that impact which vehicle drivers choose to purchase.

The all-new 2026 Audi Q3 arrives on the market in March or spring. As the first redesign of this model in seven years, Audi is introducing a bolder style, a more confident stance, an elevated panoramic interior, an advanced digital cockpit and a smoother, more intuitive drive.

The redesigned Q3 is already setting a new standard for what driving an SUV should feel like, especially for drivers navigating both urban streets and mountain roads in British Columbia.

Bold, yet refined new look

The all-new Q3 embodies the precision craftsmanship that sets Audi apart.

“The all-new 2026 Audi Q3 sets a new benchmark in its segment,” says Felix Enciso Valido, director of product strategy at Audi Canada. A bolder, more athletic exterior and an interior crafted to true Audi standards bring elevated design to every touchpoint. The all-new 2026 Q3 commands attention with a wider, more powerful stance, along with a panoramic interior design. Features such as available Matrix LED headlights and OLED taillights showcase the thoughtful engineering and design discipline that Audi is known for.

“Driving the all-new 2026 Audi Q3 feels progressive and intuitive from the moment you start,” says Enciso Valido. “Thoughtful innovation ensures seamless interaction and enhances driver comfort, making every journey feel connected and distinctly premium.”

Innovative technology you can feel

Performance is a priority. This refined look is paired with powerful technology that effortlessly empowers drivers.

“The redesigned model delivers a confident, responsive drive thanks to its 255-horsepower engine (up from 228 horsepower in the previous Q3 generation), legendary quattro all-wheel drive and 7-speed S tronic transmission,” says Enciso Valido. “Every element, from the smoother handling to the advanced driver assistance systems create a sense of effortless control.”

These features include adaptive cruise assist, lane change assist, trained parking and a newly designed accessible shifter integrated with the steering wheel. The next-generation interior anchored by a 12.8-inch MMI panoramic touchscreen display creates a driving experience that feels intuitive, seamless and smart. The all-new Q3 delivers stronger standard power and innovative features that don’t just raise the bar: they level up your entire drive.

Enter new luxury

The all-new Q3 delivers an exceptional entry point into the world of Audi luxury. “The all-new Q3 redefines what a compact luxury SUV can be: progressive, powerful and unmistakably Audi,” says Enciso Valido. Improved standard features across the lineup make true luxury and performance more accessible without sacrificing quality.

The new model is also engineered for B.C.’s unique mix of terrain and climate. “Its elevated stance and refined suspension deliver stability on mountain routes, while the compact size remains perfect for city driving,” says Enciso Valido.

The all-new Audi Q3 turns innovation into something tangible—and delivers excellent value: power that feels confident, design that feels truly innovative and technology that quietly anticipates what you need next.

The all-new 2026 Audi Q3 arrives in Canada at your nearest Audi dealer in March or spring. The all-new Q3 will also be showcased at Audi Haus during the Vancouver Auto Show (from March 25 to 29), giving visitors an exclusive chance to experience it firsthand with a test drive.
