New Audi Q3 Sportback REVEALED to challenge the BMW X2 and Mercedes GLA | Cars UK

The Audi Q3 Sportback arrives as the ‘Stylish’ take on the new Audi Q3, with the same choice of petrol, diesel and PHEV powertrains. Prices from £39,800.

The new Audi Q3 arrived back in July, with very similar looks to the new Audi Q5 with a single-frame grille up front, slim DLRs, ‘hidden’ headlights, a full-width light bar at the back and a more aggressive look than its predecessor.

There was also a new interior – again, much like the new Q5 – with 11.9″ driver display and 12.8″ infotainment and a new way of selecting gears and indicators with Audi’s new ‘Steering wheel control unit’.

Now, the arrival of the Q3 SUV’s stylish sibling – the Q3 Sportback – adds to the range with the only real difference a sloping roof line which is 29mm lower, with all the aforefmentioned elements of the Q3 SUV present and correct.

Powertrain options follow the SUV too, with an entry-level 148bhp mild-hybrid petrol, a 148bhp diesel, a 201bhp quattro petrol with 201bhp or 261bhp and a range-topping FWD PHEV with 267bhp, promising an EV range of 72 miles.

Price for the Q3 Sportline is £1,500 more than the SUV, which means the entry price for the Sportback TFSI 150PS Sport is £39,800, rising to £53,950 for the Sportline TFSI quattro 265PS Edition 1.

The new Audi Q3 Sportline goes on sale in October with first deliveries due in early 2026.
