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 competitors—including the Acura ADX, the BMW X1, the Lexus UX, the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, and the Volvo XC40—honest. Verdict: While not a thrill to drive or to look at, the redesigned Q3 delivers impressive utility, technology, and convenience features for its price. | |
