Audi Q3

Audi has overhauled the Q3 outside and in for 2026, giving the subcompact SUV new exterior styling, a sleeker interior and more standard output than even the 2025 model’s optional engine had.

Audi’s second-bestselling vehicle, the compact Q3 SUV, is adopting the same look for the 2026 model year as the new Q5 that’s just gone on sale.

More than 29,500 Volkswagen and Audi vehicles are being recalled due to a software error that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying.

Audi’s subcompact Q3 SUV receives only an optional visual upgrade for the 2025 model year, which is the current generation’s seventh year on the market.

This year’s study is based on responses from 99,144 buyers and lessees of new model-year 2024 vehicles, and respondents were surveyed 90 days after acquiring their vehicles.

These cars offer panoramic moonroofs or sunroofs either as standard or optional equipment for 2024.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

Other changes to the 2024 Q3 are limited to an available wireless phone charger and HomeLink functionality and revised paint options.

Full LED lighting, newly styled 18-inch wheels and a wireless charging pad are now standard on all Q3 models for 2023.

The latest major recall to affect Volkswagen and luxury brand Audi involves a faulty tire pressure monitoring system that may not detect loss of air.
