The Q3 is the Audi for those who crave style without the bulk.
The 2026 Audi Q3 strikes a balance between luxury and accessibility, embodying the essence of Audi's larger SUVs in a more compact form. The cabin is a visual treat with its Virtual Cockpit display and large, crisp digital screens, making it a tech enthusiast's dream. While the steering felt a bit too light for our liking, especially on winding roads, the all-wheel-drive system held its ground with confidence. The rear seats offer surprising space, perfect for those weekend getaways with friends. However, the cargo area leaves something to be desired if you're planning to haul more than a few grocery bags.
We were pleasantly surprised by how much the Q3 offers in terms of in-cabin tech and design, but we couldn't help but notice that some materials felt a touch below the premium promise. If you're someone who values style and tech over raw power, the Q3 is calling your name. It's perfect for urban dwellers who want a taste of luxury without stepping into a larger, more cumbersome vehicle.
