Audi unveils upgraded Q3 and refreshed Q4 e-tron SUVs

Audi has introduced the 2027 model year of its Q3 compact SUV with a range of new standard equipment and technologies. The updated Q3 now includes a comfort key, dual‑zone automatic climate control, heated seats, a rear‑view camera, and Matrix LED headlights on higher trim levels. Its infotainment system runs the latest Android Automotive platform, offering apps such as Microsoft Teams without a phone, a 25 W wireless charger and three USB‑C ports. The adaptive cruise system can use live traffic data, and the new Park Assist Pro can be managed via the myAudi app, while a Valet mode protects personal data. Design tweaks add body‑colour bumper trims, acoustic glass and interior refinements, and the e‑hybrid version’s tow capacity has been raised to 2,000 kg. Prices start at €48,530, with deliveries slated for autumn.

The Q4 e‑tron receives a light restyling after four years on the market. It is offered in SUV and Sportback silhouettes, with the Quattro all‑wheel‑drive version costing €2,000 more. Base pricing begins at €45,990, keeping most variants under the €47,000 threshold for the French "coup de pouce" purchase aid, which can grant up to €5,170 in subsidies. Aerodynamic efficiency improves slightly (drag coefficient falls from 0.27 to 0.26) thanks to a revised grille, front and rear bumpers and new rear lights. Interior quality has been upgraded, though higher‑spec packs can push the price into the €60‑80 k range.
