The all-new Audi Q3 is set to redefine the standard in the premium compact SUV market

The third-generation Audi Q3 introduces a refreshed design, a fully digitalised interior, and new mild-hybrid technology, all set to redefine what it means to be a player in the premium compact SUV segment.

First seen at the 2026 Singapore Motorshow, the highly-anticipated, all-new Audi Q3 SUV is now available for order, while the new Q3 Sportback will be available from March 2026. Both bodystyles of the Q3 are offered in two trim levels, the Advanced and the higher-spec Edition 1.

The public got its first look at the motorshow of the third-generation of one of Audi’s best-selling models, and first impressions were strong, as many members of the public wandered around the Audi booth, craning their necks to get a good look at the latest Q3.

The new Q3 adopts a more defined and muscular exterior, with a wider grille, sleeker headlights, and more sculpted body lines, giving it a stronger and sportier visual presence, making this refreshed Q3 extra refreshing on the eyes.

New digital light signatures and advanced lighting systems further shape the Q3's identity, with the standard LED headlights coming with three distinctive light signatures. Customers can also look forward to the optional digital Matrix LED headlights, which introduce micro-LED technology to the Q3 for the first time, with light guidance functions that are more closely linked to the driver assistance systems. The digital daytime running lights also help to create distinctive light signatures to set the Q3 apart from others. 

At the Audi booth, curious parties took to the Q3's cabin like an auntie takes to the last available seat on the MRT, and for good reason. The Q3's interior has been reworked around Audi’s latest digital interface concept for an ultra-modern, upmarket look. 

A curved panoramic display takes centre stage, integrating an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster with a 12.8-inch central touchscreen, forming a clean, driver-oriented layout. The redesigned interior architecture focuses on a simplified centre console with extended use of sustainable materials throughout, creating a passenger experience that's both comfortable and purposeful.

One key functional update is the new steering wheel control unit, which relocates the gear selector from the centre console to the steering column. This change frees up additional storage in the centre console and improves cabin usability without altering the look and feel of the overall layout. The signal stalk has also been reengineered to neatly combine the signals, high beams, and wiper controls all in one. 

The new Q3 is powered by a 1.5-litre, mild-hybrid engine, balancing efficiency with everyday performance. The engine puts out 147hp and 250Nm of torque, driving the front wheels through a 7-speed S tronic gearbox. Prospective owners can rest assured that the new Q3 will provide adequate oomph, whether it be in congested city driving or cruising on the open highway.

As a bonus for the Singapore market, the Q3 comes standard with a suspension system featuring two-valve damper control, allowing the car to adapt to varying road conditions while maintaining ride comfort and stability, ensuring that all passengers experience the kind of refined, quiet, and dynamic driving characteristics they've come to know and love from Audi.

A full suite of driver assistance systems, digitalised operating controls, and intelligent parking functions complete the update, positioning the new Audi Q3 as a more connected and technically advanced evolution of Audi’s compact SUV offering and keeping you and your loved ones safe while on the move.

The all-new Audi Q3 SUV is now available at audi.com.sg from S$265,999, while the Q3 Sportback variant will be available to order from March.
