2026 Audi Q3 teaser - What to expect?

The Q3 is one of the top-selling cars for the German carmaker internationally. Even in the UAE, its demand has been all-time high, even in the used car market.

However, the Q3 has been long overdue for a thorough update, which the company will soon provide. The new-generation Q3 will be revealed on June 16.

As seen in the teaser images, it will get a new set of split LED DRLs with Pixel LEDs and new headlamps. In fact, the whole front design appears to be changed, as the headlights are bumper-mounted.

The front bumper also looks sculpted from the side angle in the second teaser image. This hints at a big design update, which is incoming soon.

Apart from the design update, we suspect that its interiors will also undergo major updates. As per our expectation, it will get a new dashboard, a new connected screen panel, a new steering wheel, and advanced wireless voice-assisted features.

Internationally, and even in the UAE, Audi sells the Q3 with its popular and bulletproof 2.0-litre TFSI petrol motor. This engine, mated to a standard Quattro AWD system, makes 187 bhp and 320 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively.

According to our expectations, Audi will offer a new range of engines on the Q3. This will likely include a new hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, and more powerful turbo-petrol options.

2026 Audi Q3 - UAE launch and price

The global debut of the new Q3 will take place on June 16, 2025. Details such as the launch timelines for various regions, including the UAE, will be revealed only then.

However, we expect the new Audi Q3 to arrive in the UAE in the second half of this year.

Speaking of its price, we suspect a little increase from its current pricing due to the addition of new features, a new design, and better engines. Mind you, the current Audi Q3 is priced between AED 143,600 and goes up to AED 239,000 for the Q3 Sportback.

Our conclusion

The Q3 SUV is a pivot product for Audi in its SUV lineup. It is the entry point in the German carmaker's SUV models, and customers love it for its superb quality and performance worldwide. The new 2026 Audi Q3 will not only offer better features but also more power and efficiency.
