Over the last year we’ve driven a lot of Audis because the brand has been updating its entire line-up. Now, it’s the turn of the Q3 to get a refresh – which is about all we know so far. Audi has only revealed is a teaser image of the upcoming family SUV’s headlight cluster, promising to tell us more information soon. So, we will have to wait to see what the BMW X2 rival has up its sleeve.
This new Q3 will be the third generation of the car and Audi promises “The new Audi Q3 sets standards in several respects. Its exterior exudes confidence and evokes emotion, while numerous innovative features make it the ideal digital companion.” Based on the above and our recent experience of Audi, we have a fair idea of what we can expect. External changes such as a new front grille and taillights are likely, plus there’ll probably be more tech on offer inside. Underneath, the Q3 will share its foundations with the new A3 and the latest Volkswagen Tiguan. As a result, we predict there could be a new plug-in hybrid with a larger all-electric range than before, along with petrol and diesel engine options. Due to the unrelenting trend for coupe-like crossovers we reckon Audi will keep both the traditional SUV and the swoopy Sportback body shapes we’ve seen with the current generation, keeping with the status quo of the larger Q5 and its electric equivalent, the Q6 e-tron. With this latest round of updates Audi will be hoping the Q3 stands out against competition from the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Volvo XC40 and Peugeot 3008.
