One Surprising Backwards Step (Audi Q3 2026 Review)

The new-generation Audi Q3 has finally arrived in Australia with a trio of petrol engines producing 110, 150 and 195 kilowatts, to suit a wide range of tastes. Prices kick off at just over $60,000 and climb all the way up to nearly $85,000, with a selection of heavily specified ‘Launch Edition’ variants offered with the arrival of the new generation, boasting extras such as an S Line styling pack and adaptive dampers to make the Q3 more enticing. A direct rival to the Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1, the Q3 will need to stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. Senior contributor Iain Curry investigates its merits in today’s video.
