Audi has unveiled the updated version of the Q3 Sportback globally. The 2026 Audi Q3 Sportback shares a platform with its SUV sibling but also receives several major design and feature updates compared to the previous generation. The Germany-based luxury car manufacturer has announced the launch of the 2026 Q3 Sportback, stating that the Europe-spec model will be introduced in October 2025, while the global-spec model is scheduled for launch in November of this year.

The Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 110 kW2 will be available only in Germany at an introductory price of €44,600 (approximately AED 191,400), while the Audi Q3 Sportback TFSI 110 kW6 will be priced at €46,450 (approximately AED 199,350). However, Audi has not specified a timeline for launching the new Q3 Coupe in the UAE.

The new generation Q3 brings design cues from the Q3 SUV, including the split headlamp setup with high-set LED DRLs.

The roofline of this upcoming Audi car slopes downward from the A-pillar and is comparatively 29 millimeters lower compared to the SUV version. The lower roofline gives the Audi Q3 Sportback a sportier appearance and a stand-out silhouette.
