New Audi Q3 launched at Singapore Motor Show

Audi Singapore has launched the new Q3 here at the 2026 Singapore Motor Show.

This third-generation Q3 can be identified by its new slim head light design at the front, which is said to make use of micro-LED lighting technology, adapted from the digital Matrix LED head lights found in Audi's full-size models.

The gear selector, as well as the controls for the wipers and exterior lights of the Audi Q3 are now located on two new steering column levers, freeing up space on the car's centre console for an inductive smartphone charger

The rear of the Q3, meanwhile, also has seen a significant redesign. The taillights of the car are now connected by a continuous LED light strip and adopt a shape not unlike those found in the Audi A6.

But top highlight for the Audi Q3 must be its new cabin. This new car now gets a redesigned control layout, so its steering wheel now comes with two new steering column levers, with the one on the right serving as the gear selector while the one on the left houses the controls for the lights and wipers.

This new setup has freed up space in the car's centre console, which accordingly now houses a 15W cooled inductive charger for your smartphone. This new cabin also sports Audi's 'Digital Stage' - a panoramic display comprising of an 11.9-inch instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch MMI touch display.

The Audi Q3 will be offered here with a 148bhp 1.5-litre engine

Powering the Audi Q3 here in Singapore is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces a total of 148bhp and 205Nm of peak torque. Equipped with mild hybrid technology, Audi claims this Q3 will post a fuel economy of 15.2km/L. The Audi Q3 will be offered here in both SUV and Sportback body styles, with each offered in two variants: 'advanced' and 'edition 1'.

Edition 1 trim cars will sport additional features including 19-inch alloy rims, a flat-top-and-bottom steering wheel, and distinctive S line interior and exterior elements.

The Audi Q3 is priced from $265,999 (inclusive of COE), with the edition 1 variant available at an additional S$10,000. Audi Singapore states that test drives of the Q3 SUV will commence come late January 2026. Test drives of the Audi Q3 Sportback are set to begin by March of 2026.

The Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron, complete with an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display, was also on display at the motor show

But if you're looking for something all-electric and a little larger, the Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron has also made its first appearance here at the Singapore Motor Show.

The Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron is said to combine the versatility of an SUV with the sleek elegance of a coupe. The 'quattro' variant of the Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron offers a system output of 315kW and comes complete with features including adaptive air suspension, 20-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels and an augmented reality head up display. Opt for the 'edition 1' trim car, however, and you'll also get 21-inch Audi Sport allow wheels, the firm's S line exterior and interior, and a Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium sound system.

But arriving here first is the 185kW rear-wheel drive variant. This variant uses an 83kWh battery that can be charged at a maximum power of 225kW and allows the car to post a range of 490km. The 'quattro' variant of the Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron, meanwhile, comes with a 94.9kWh battery, allowing the car to post a range of 625km. This battery can be charged from a 10% to an 80% state-of-charge in just 22 min.

The car also features a fully digital cockpit with MMI panoramic and passenger displays and an AI-powered voice assistant as standard.
