In this video I take you along for a full POV test drive and walkaround of the all-new 2026 Audi Q3 S line. The one I’m in is Arcona White with the Black Optics package, 19-inch wheels, driver assistance, and that really nice Tamard Brown interior, and it stickers just over $49,000. I break down the specs too: the upgraded 2.0L turbo inline-four now makes 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft, paired to a 7-speed automatic and AWD, with a claimed 0–60 in about 5.5 seconds and 22/29 mpg city/highway. I go through the exterior design updates (split lighting, hex grille, active grille shutters) and then the practicality that makes the Q3 a legit daily—hands-free power liftgate, spare tire, usable cargo space, and a rear seat that slides forward/back and reclines. Inside, I show you the Virtual Cockpit, the 360 camera, drive modes (including off-road plus), wireless charging, and the new single curved screen setup. On the drive, the big takeaway is how quiet, smooth, and refined it feels, plus how easy it is to maneuver in tight city parking—exactly what you want from a compact luxury SUV under $50K.
