Audi has unveiled the third-generation Q3, introducing a more refined interpretation of one of the brand’s most successful SUVs. Having surpassed two million units sold globally since its debut, the new Q3 builds on that success with a sharper design, advanced digital technologies, enhanced practicality, and an efficient hybrid powertrain.
Combining progressive design, everyday versatility, and electrified performance, the Audi Q3 Hybrid marks the next evolution of Audi’s compact luxury SUV.
Efficient Hybrid performance
The Audi Q3 Hybrid combines a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver responsive performance together with enhanced efficiency for everyday driving.
For the Philippine market, the Audi Q3 Premium is equipped with a hybrid powertrain that produces 150 hp and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed S tronic transmission driving the front wheels. The powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and refined performance while achieving a top speed of 209 km/h.
A more progressive Audi design
The latest Audi Q3 introduces a cleaner, more athletic design with improved aerodynamic efficiency. A wider Singleframe grille, slimmer proportions, and sculpted body surfaces give the SUV a stronger and more confident road presence, while a pronounced shoulder line adds depth and visual character.
The Philippine-spec Audi Q3 Premium comes equipped with LED headlights plus, LED rear lights, illuminated Audi rings, body-colored bumpers, aluminum roof rails, and 18-inch cast aluminum wheels in a multi-spoke design, creating a sophisticated appearance that remains unmistakably Audi.
Premium comfort with everyday practicality
The cabin brings features previously reserved for Audi’s larger luxury models into the compact SUV segment. A redesigned steering column integrates key vehicle functions into multifunction control stalks, creating a cleaner interior while freeing up additional storage space in the center console.
The Audi Q3 Premium features the Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, MMI Experience Plus, Audi Smartphone Interface, wireless phone charging, Bluetooth connectivity, rear USB charging ports, and the Audi Sound System. A flat-top and flat-bottom multifunction leather steering wheel with shift paddles, leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats with four-way lumbar support, ambient LED interior lighting, and three-zone deluxe automatic climate control further enhance comfort and convenience.
Practicality remains one of the Q3’s greatest strengths. The rear seats slide and recline as standard, allowing owners to prioritize passenger comfort or luggage space depending on their needs. With the rear seats folded, cargo capacity expands to 1,386 liters, while the SUV also offers a towing capacity of up to 2,100 kg where applicable.
Confidence behind the wheel
The Audi Q3 Premium is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance and safety technologies designed to make every drive more convenient and reassuring. Standard equipment includes Parking System Plus with distance display, a reversing camera, cruise control, hill hold assist, Electronic Stability Control, tire pressure monitoring, six airbags, electromechanical power steering, and an electronic parking brake.
Together, these technologies provide greater confidence whether navigating city streets or embarking on longer journeys.
The next chapter for Audi’s compact SUV
The third-generation Audi Q3 represents a significant step forward for Audi’s compact luxury SUV. Combining an advanced hybrid powertrain, progressive design, a premium digital cabin, and everyday versatility, the Audi Q3 Hybrid continues to build on the strengths that have made the Q3 one of Audi’s best-selling models worldwide.
Designed for modern lifestyles, the new Audi Q3 Hybrid delivers the efficiency, technology, comfort, and unmistakable Audi character expected from the brand’s next generation of premium compact SUVs.
