Audi Q3 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
The second-generation Audi Q3 is getting ready for release. The model was first introduced to the US market only in 2015 and hasn’t gained any popularity since then. The market for compact crossovers in America is stacked and the popularity of these vehicles is now at its all-time high, so it makes a lot of sense to remodel the car and release and next-gen model now.
Audi Q3
Luxury-oriented five-door high-performance vehicles are in high demand, so it makes sense to redesign it and offer a new version to the fans. The first one is already old, as it was launched in 2011 in the European market, and it took until 2015 to introduce an updated version that was also offered in the Europe. Now the testing of the car is in full swing and we expect the car to come out soon.
The news about the Audi Q3 came with the spy photos that were released recently. The test vehicle was spotted with a camouflage, which also means that the car will be heavily updated as well. The car might get a total update, which means not only the interior and exterior will be changed, but also the engine. Here is a quick look at what’s coming.
When is the release date for the Audi Q3?
Although the testing for the Audi Q3 is currently underway, we will not get the car in . The release date is expected to be in , perhaps mid-year. The car will be released simultaneously in the domestic market as well as in Europe.
How much does the Audi Q3 cost?
The price of the Audi Q3 is set at around €33,700 (Euro). This price is of course for the entry-level, the Premium Plus model, which is the base version of ten cars, while a more advanced Prestige is offered at a base MSRP of $38,600.
Exterior Update
There are some updates that will be introduced for ten Audi Q3 , but in terms of design, the car will be kept similar. Despite the heavy coverings that the car has, a lot of the old model is still visible underneath. This means that the narrow and sharp-edged headlights also remain equipped with xenon lamps and LED daytime running lights. The front end holds a large single-frame grille with aluminum trim with roof rails and a spoiler in the hatch. At the rear end, the exhaust pipe tips are also integrated into the bumper of the car.
The design of the new Q3 will depend heavily on the Audi Quattro model. Since the chief designer is a big fan of the said vehicle, it was announced that the design will be taken from that car and its flared wheel arches and a sharp rear end could be a good choice for the latest Q3.
From what we know, the car will be a coupe aesthetically. For now, it looks like we don’t expect the changes to go in a drastic direction. The car looks fitting and is a great addition to the latest fleet of Audi cars.
Interior changes
The interior of the Audi Q3 is expected to resemble all current Audi models and their appearance. Expect meticulous design combined with high-quality materials that are the cornerstone of every Audi car. Certain updates will be made, such as the redesigned steering wheel as well as a revised button layout for the dashboard. The center stack will also feature a large touchscreen. Audi’s virtual cockpit can also be found in the instrument cluster. Also expect leather upholstery and some newly available colors for customers to choose from.
Drivetrain capability
For the US customers, the Audi Q3 will retain the same powertrain as the previous model. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a six-speed automatic transmission will be available and will be available as both a FWD and AWD option. The car’s current output is 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque, but we expect those numbers to rise as the competing vehicles all put out a lot more compared to those numbers.
0-62 mph. Acceleration capability
With the current setup, the Audi Q3 will do 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds and offer a top speed of 126 mph. These numbers may increase depending on the expected engine upgrade. We could get a much faster car with better acceleration.
Fuel consumption specifications
Since the engine is the same for the Audi Q3, the EPA rates will also remain the same. The model will manage 20 mpg city, 28 highway, 23 combined for the FWD and AWD versions. These specs may be considered if a different engine option is introduced, but that is less likely in the U.S. market.
Dimensions for the Audi Q3
The dimensions of the Audi Q3 will certainly grow. Since we don’t have the available details at the moment, we are pretty sure that this will happen. The mere fact that the Q3 model has to be slotted above the Q2 has also increased in proportions and what size was revealed at the recent Geneva Motor Show. We are sure that the car will be wider and longer and actually positioned lower than before. It will certainly add 2 to 2.75 inches for the overall length and 2 inches in its width. This will add a lot of interior space and presumably affect the current cargo space of 17 cu ft.
Safety rates
The car is said to be very safe and that is why a number of safety gadgets will be offered on the Audi Q3 model. The car will now introduce the latest automation and safety technologies adding pedestrian monitoring, automatic braking, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. All of these will surely give the car a top safety rating that the previous incarnation of the Q3 already possesses.
Competing models
The competition in the compact crossover segment is at its all-time high and the Audi Q3 may have to face adversity to make it. However, we think that the latest Q3 will be pretty well updated to be featured in the given segment. Even if models like the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class vehicles breathe down its neck, it could be possible.
