Audi Q3: Next-Gen Best-Seller Spotted with Major Upgrades

## Audi Q3: Next-Gen Best-Seller Spotted with Major Upgrades

The **Audi Q3** is gearing up for its third generation, and recent spy photos reveal that this popular SUV is getting a stunning exterior makeover.

The current Q3 is Audi’s top-selling vehicle in Australia, dominating its segment in sales. Let’s dive into what the new model has in store!

### Fresh Look and Modern Touches

Spotted testing in Europe, this is our best glimpse yet at the new Q3, following earlier sightings of heavily camouflaged prototypes. The front end flaunts a design that echoes recent Audi trends, featuring sleek daytime running lights perched above a vertical stack of driving lights, all surrounding a streamlined grille.

The integrated number plate mount sits at the bottom of the grille, just above a larger lower air intake. Move towards the rear, and you’ll notice the tail light signature and full-width rear light bar, reminiscent of the e-tron GT electric sedan.

### Sporty Details and Speculations

The prototype spotted appears to be the regular Q3, not the coupe-inspired Sportback variant. Intriguingly, this model features red brake calipers, which were previously exclusive to the RSQ3, hinting that the S line appearance package might adopt this sporty flair.

### Platform and Powertrains

Reports suggest that the new Q3 will adopt the Volkswagen Group’s MQB Evo platform, likely expanding its dimensions. Expect a range of petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains, but if you’re after an all-electric experience, the Q4 e-tron is your go-to.

### Sales and Popularity

In Australia, the Q3 has been a runaway success, accounting for over a third of Audi’s local deliveries this year, with 3109 new units registered between January and July. It’s also the top-selling small SUV in the $45,000-plus category, outpacing the BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.

Despite its higher price tag, the Q3 is nearly outselling the Chery Omoda 5 and has already surpassed the Honda HR-V. Audi’s latest updates are set to keep this trend rolling.
