The 2024 Audi Q3 is about to receive a nice mid-cycle upgrade. It will remain a compact crossover SUV and its starting price should remain intact. For a start, Q3 model will gain a nice facelift, which includes new exterior elements, new colors, and perhaps new appearance packages.
On the inside, this model will gain updated infotainment system, more safety features and probably new upholstery. Redesign is still not happening, but this mid-cycle refresh will do the job. Under the hood, we expect three powertrain options, where one of them is a hybrid. The sales will begin later in 2023, and here’s everything you need to know.
Exterior Design
Audi is known for its captivating design, and this extends to their compact crossover vehicles. The upcoming 2024 Audi Q3 will feature bold and modern styling inspired by their latest SUV launches. Although smaller in size, the Q3 will resemble its larger siblings.
Recently taken spy photos of the Q2 and Q8 have given us a glimpse of what to expect, although much of the vehicle is still camouflaged. The grille, in particular, is hidden from view. The Q3 will share the same platform as the current model, so we can expect a similar size overall. Despite the limited details available, we can expect Audi’s signature style to make the Q3 a head-turner on the road.
Audi Q3 Packages
The current Audi Q3 is available in the Premium trim level with several optional packages, and it’s likely that the company will carry over or rename this package for the 2024 model. Regardless, the new 2024 Audi Q3 will feature upgrades to both technology and cabin design.
One of the available options will be the S Line package, which will enhance both style and comfort at an affordable price point. For those seeking more advanced features, the Premium Plus package will offer even more options, including the ability to add S-Line upgrades.
Engine Specs
The forthcoming 2024 Audi Q3 model will continue to offer a standard 2.0-liter gas engine. This naturally-aspirated unit generates 185 horsepower, which is enough for this small crossover SUV. Of course, mileage is good, as Audi Q3 achieves around 26 mpg combined. If you want more power, there is optional turbo-four engine with almost 230 horsepower.
While it is significantly more power, fuel economy is slightly lower, 24 miles per gallon combined. The hybrid Q3 is also on the way, and this model will sit on the Audi’s well-known E-Tron architecture. This version will reportedly produce 245 horsepower and it will provide 31 miles of all-electric range.
2024 Audi Q3 Price and Release Date
The price of the all-new 2024 Audi Q3 will start at $37,000. If you want a fully-loaded Q3 crossover SUV, you’ll end up paying over $50k. As before, Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1 are perhaps the biggest rivals. The sales will begin in the third quarter of 2023.
