2026 Audi Q3 review

The Audi Q3 has been a consistent, quiet performer among small premium SUVs. But is the latest generation a worthy successor?

Audi has sold over two million Q3s globally across the first two generations – and this is our first try of the all-new Mk3 with PHEV tech.

The Audi Q3 is a bit of a quiet achiever, and the Sportback version is a bit cheaper than a BMW X2 – but is the 40 TFSI S line the pick?

The Q3 is Audi Australia's top-seller, and in base 35 TFSI guise offers a tempting entry into prestige motoring.

The entry-level Q3 Sportback puts style as top priority, with enough technology and practicality to make it an appealing alternative to the wagon.

The 40 TFSI quattro trim brings decent performance to match the Audi Q3 Sportback’s smartly-dressed sportiness.
