2026 Audi Q3 e-Hybrid: Should Audi Bring This Plug-in Hybrid To The U.S.?
The 2026 Audi Q3 has been revealed with a more aggressive design, a revamped interior, and new hybrid options. Highlights include a wider Singleframe grille, sleeker Matrix LED headlights, and optional OLED taillights.
Inside, the subcompact SUV features a horizontal dashboard, recycled materials, and dual displays, a 12.8-inch MMI touchscreen and 11.9-inch digital cluster, running Android Automotive OS with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Q3 45 TFSI e plug-in hybrid combines a 1.5L turbo engine with an 85 kW motor for 268 hp and 295 lb-ft. It offers about 75 miles of electric range (WLTP) from a 19.7 kWh usable battery, with 11 kW AC charging.
Sales start in Germany in October 2025 from €49,300. The U.S. launch of the new Q3 is expected in 2026, but should Audi also bring the new Q3 e-Hybrid here?
