Audi India to launch new third-generation Q3 SUV

Audi India is scheduled to officially launch the third-generation Audi Q3 nationwide on August 25, 2026. The launch marks a significant update to the brand’s compact luxury SUV lineup, positioning the model to compete directly with rivals such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.

The new model features substantial design changes, including a redesigned front end with a larger grille and slimmer lighting elements, as well as a revised rear section with connected tail-lamps. Inside, the cabin has been updated with a new dashboard layout, a cleaner center console, and enhanced digital technology. While global versions feature an 11.9-inch digital instrument display and a 12.8-inch touchscreen, the specific equipment and connectivity features for the India-spec model are yet to be confirmed.

In addition to the national launch, Audi will host a grand opening for its new Audi Bengaluru Central dealership on August 26, 2026, where the vehicle will be exclusively unveiled to the media. The India-spec Q3 is expected to retain a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine.
