The Finer Details

The range opens with the TFSI 110kW which is powered by a “newly developed” 1.5-litre mild-hybrid turbo-petrol engine good for an appropriate 110kW/250Nm.

Drive is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Standard equipment highlights include adaptive LED headlights, an electric tailgate, auto-dimming side mirrors with memory, leather-appointed upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory for the driver, tri-zone climate control, an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit, 12.8-inch infotainment screen, smartphone mirroring, cooled wireless phone charging pad, a 10-speaker sound system and ambient lighting.

The swoopy Sportback version adds S Line exterior styling (and badging) and sporty 19-inch alloy wheels – for an extra $3000 in typical Sportback form, see below for a full pricing breakdown.

Both body styles are being offered temporarily as a Launch Edition which adds an S Line exterior treatment to the SUV, 19-inch Audi Sport wheels, metallic paint, red brake callipers, black exterior styling package, adaptive dampers, and a sound actuator.

The punchier TFSI Quattro 150kW S Line (from $70,200) ups the ante with a mild-hybrid 2.0-litre turbo-petrol powertrain (150kW/320Nm), all-wheel drive and more equipment.

Building on the TFSI 110kW’s kit list, the mid-ranger adds S Line exterior as standard, along with 19-inch alloy wheels, sport front seats and hill descent assist.

Again, the Launch Editions add metallic paint, 19-inch Audi Sport alloys, red brakes, black exterior treatment, adaptive dampers and a sound actuator.

At the top of the tree are the TFSI Quattro 195kW twins (from $81,900) – no Launch Editions here.

Under the bonnet is a 195kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mild-hybrid powertrain good for 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds thanks in part to the standard quattro all-wheel drive system.

The flagships can be spotted by their 20-inch Audi Sport wheels, panoramic roof, red brakes and privacy glass, all of which is complemented by adaptive suspension, an S Line interior (aluminium divergence inlays, stainless pedals, heated sport steering wheel, black headliner), extended ambient lighting, a head-up display and Sonos premium sound system – in addition to the features of the lesser grade.

The Road Ahead

The 2026 Audi Q3 portfolio will arrive in the second quarter of the year (April-June) but are available to order now.

Audi Australia hasn’t confirmed how long the Launch Editions will be available, nor when we might be able to expect the 200kW plug-in hybrid might arrive.
