2025 Audi Q3: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Audi Q3 is a simpler U.S. lineup: Audi drops the lower-output Q3 40 versions, leaving the 228-hp Q3 45 with S line styling as the only setup. Otherwise, this is a light-update year rather than a redesign.
About the 2025 Audi Q3
2nd generation (2019-2025), final year before the all-new 2026 redesign.
Audi positions the Q3 as a city-friendly luxury SUV that still feels useful for everyday life. The core appeal is a premium-looking cabin, standard quattro all-wheel drive, easy-to-live-with size, and a flexible rear seat that helps it handle people or cargo without feeling bulky. Against rivals, the Q3’s identity is less about maximum space and more about delivering Audi style, a polished interior, and confident all-weather traction in a smaller footprint.
The Premium trim is the everyday core of the lineup, pairing AWD with heated leather front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and adaptive cruise assist. Premium Plus keeps the same engine and adds conveniences such as a top-view camera, wireless phone charging, a SONOS sound system, and driver-seat memory.
