Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

2026 Audi Q3 review
Audi Q3: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.9/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Audi Q3 sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $40,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.7 of 5 from 3 owners
Replaced an older Audi with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
