The 2026 Audi Q3 Sportback will go on sale in Europe in November, starting at 54,300 USD in Germany. The PHEV version starts at 59,800 USD.
The Q3 Sportback inherits the characteristic design lines of the standard Q3. However, the rear contour and glass have been redesigned, creating a curved and sloping rear window. Furthermore, Audi engineers removed the standard version's roof rails for a sportier look.
The new taillights extend across the entire width of the vehicle. Audi has added optional digital OLED lights and a sporty rear bumper with faux air intakes and a large diffuser inherited from the standard Q3. The Q3 Sportback is 29 mm shorter than the standard Q3.
The Q3 Sportback's interior is similar to its sibling, the Q3, featuring a curved dashboard housing an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen. Due to the redesigned, sloping rear window, the Q3 Sportback's cargo volume is 1,298 liters, 97 liters less than the standard Q3.
The Q3 Sportback shares its powertrains with the Q3, including gasoline, diesel, mild hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options. The 1.5 TFSI gasoline engine produces 148 horsepower, while the top-of-the-line version features a 2.0 TFSI engine with 262 horsepower. FWD or quattro all-wheel drive are available.
The e-Hybrid (plug-in hybrid) version produces 268 horsepower and has a 25.7 kWh battery pack with an all-electric range of 118 km.
