The Audi Q3 enters the 2027 model year with more equipment as standard, new digital features, and a refreshed package structure.
Standard equipment for the 2027 Q3 now includes - for the first time - a convenience key, heated seats, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and a reversing camera. These features were previously only available on higher trim packages. In addition, a 10.9-inch passenger display is also available for the first time.
At the same time, Audi is restructuring its equipment packages to offer a wider array of individual options. These include suspension upgrades, acoustic glazing, a Sonos sound system, lumbar support, and hold assist to enhance the electromechanical parking brake.
The adaptive cruise assist is also getting an upgrade: For the 2027 model year, it can now use online data to adjust speed and following distances. For the first time, the system uses swarm data to assist with longitudinal and lane guidance, allowing the Q3 to factor in the average speed driven on a given route.
The Q3 also now provides state-of-the-art connectivity. The new infotainment system, based on Android Automotive, brings numerous apps - such as Microsoft Teams - directly to the MMI, operating independently without needing a smartphone.
Production of the 2027 Audi Q3 is set to start in early September 2026.
