Audi India has officially opened bookings for the third-generation Q3 ahead of its launch during the 2026 festive season. The new Audi Q3 can now be reserved for a booking amount of Rs 1 lakh through Audi India’s website, the myAudi Connect app, or authorised dealerships. The company is expected to announce the SUV’s prices next month.
The new Q3 brings a more modern design, a larger footprint and a significantly upgraded cabin. It will continue to target buyers looking for a compact luxury SUV with a strong combination of performance, technology and everyday usability.
Sharper Exterior Design
The third-generation Audi Q3 gets a redesigned front end with a wider grille, slimmer LED lighting elements and a new 2D Audi logo. The SUV also features LED daytime running lights that double as turn indicators. At the rear, the design gets connected lighting elements that give the Q3 a wider visual appearance.
The new model measures 4,531mm in length, 1,859mm in width and 1,623mm in height, making it larger than the outgoing version. It also gets 18-inch alloy wheels and updated exterior detailing.
2.0-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine With Quattro
The India-spec Audi Q3 will be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. It produces around 204 PS and 320 Nm, with power sent through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Audi will offer its quattro all-wheel-drive system with the Q3, giving the SUV better traction and stability across different road conditions. The combination of a four-cylinder petrol engine, automatic gearbox and AWD should make the Q3 an attractive option for buyers who prioritise performance.
More Premium and Tech-Focused Cabin
The cabin receives one of the biggest upgrades. The new Q3 gets a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster. A column-mounted drive selector also frees up space around the centre console.
Other expected highlights include a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, upgraded climate controls and premium interior technology. Higher-end lighting equipment, including Digital Matrix LED headlights, further strengthens the SUV’s premium appeal.
Launch and Expected Price
Audi is expected to launch the new Q3 in India during the festive season, with prices scheduled to be revealed in October. The SUV is expected to sit in the premium compact SUV space and compete with models such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
With bookings now open, the new Audi Q3 brings a stronger design, more technology and a powerful quattro-equipped petrol powertrain. Its final pricing will be crucial in determining how competitive it becomes in India’s luxury SUV segment.
