Audi Already Updates the New Q3 for 2027

• 2027 is only the second model year of the new Audi Q3.

• These updates include an optional passenger screen, enhanced driver assistance features, and more standard equipment.

• Production of the updated Q3 is expected to start in September 2026.

Despite having been completely renewed last year, the Audi Q3 enters the 2027 model year with a series of updates.

Indeed, the German automaker has made some changes to its smallest and most affordable crossover (in North America) for its second model year.

Perhaps the most noticeable modification is the addition of a 10,9-inch passenger display to the option list, a feature that was previously reserved for the brand’s more expensive models.

An Android Automotive infotainment system is also included, along with a variety of in-car apps, such as Microsoft Teams.

Touch controls on the steering wheel have also been revised to make accessing vehicle functions easier while driving.

The induction charger in the front center console has been upgraded from 15 watts to 25 watts of charging power, and the rear passengers are treated to three USB-C ports with up to 100 watts of charging capacity.

On-board tech is not the only thing that was modified, as the 2027 Q3 also benefits from enhanced driver assistance technologies, such as an adaptive cruise control system that can now use online data to adapt its speed and following distances to the road, as well as a Park Assist Pro system that can be controlled via a phone app and a valet mode that prevents access to the owner’s private date when the vehicle is driven by someone else.

The automaker has also increased the level of standard equipment; however this seems to apply mostly to Europe, as all of the newly standard features mentioned by Audi, such as heated front seats and an automatic climate control system, are already included in the most affordable Q3 offered on the Canadian market.

Similarly, the Q3 e-Hybrid can now tow up to 2,000 kilograms (4,409 pounds), but this powertrain is not offered in North America, at least for now.

More information specific to the Canadian market, including pricing, is expected this fall, as the 2027 Audi Q3 is expected to begin production in September.
