2026 Audi Q3 Reviews SummaryThe entry-level model in Audi’s SUV lineup, the Q3, has been redesigned for the 2026 model year. While it rides on the same Volkswagen Group MQB platform as before, the new Q3 boasts more interior space, more power, and more tech features. That combination keeps its competitors honest, which include the Acura ADX, BMW X1, Lexus UX, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Volvo XC40. Verdict: While not a thrill to drive or to look at, the redesigned 2026 Audi Q3 delivers impressive utility, technology, and convenience features for its price. | |
