Audi Q3 third generation features and price in India

Audi Q3 third generation features and price in India

Audi has finally showcased the third generation of its popular luxury SUV in India ahead of its market launch. For buyers currently tracking the luxury compact SUV space, this new reveal brings fresh design elements and updated features to consider against the model already on sale.

What has actually changed on the new Q3

The latest generation brings a revised exterior design language along with a heavily updated cabin layout packed with more tech. While official specifications for this incoming version are still rolling out, the outgoing model on sale since August 2022 runs on a 1984 cc petrol engine pushing 187.74 bhp and 320 nm of torque mated to a 7-speed DCT and AWD system.

On road prices and city differences

When looking at the current market pricing, the ex-showroom range sits between ₹43.67 lakh and ₹53.00 lakh across variants like Premium, Premium Plus, and Technology. On-road costs vary significantly depending on where you register the vehicle, bringing major financial differences for urban buyers.

  • Mumbai on road ranges from ₹51.87 lakh to ₹62.08 lakh
  • Bangalore on road ranges from ₹54.82 lakh to ₹65.60 lakh
  • Hyderabad on road ranges from ₹53.94 lakh to ₹64.56 lakh
  • Chennai on road ranges from ₹54.82 lakh to ₹65.60 lakh

Should you wait or buy the current version

With 393 pooled owner ratings averaging a solid 3.9 out of 5 stars, the current generation has proven reliability in day to day ownership. Buyers also get to pick from distinct paint shades like Nano Grey Metallic, Glacier White Metallic, Mythos Black Metallic, Navarra Blue Metallic, Progressive Red Metallic, Chronos Gray Metallic, and Pulse Orange.

Are you planning to book the newly showcased third generation or grab a deal on the current model available in showrooms right now?

TT Score

7/10

A well-equipped, AWD-only petrol luxury SUV that owners rate solidly, but the ex-showroom-to-on-road jump and thirsty 1984cc engine make it an expensive vehicle to buy and run in India.

Who it suits

  • Premium-segment upgrader wanting AWD as — All three variants (Premium ₹43.67L to Technology ₹52.31L) come with AWD and a 7-speed DCT, unlike many segment rivals that reserve AWD for top trims.
  • Metro buyer who has budgeted for the on- — On-road prices run ₹51.87L-₹65.60L depending on city, roughly 19-24% over ex-showroom, so this suits buyers in Mumbai/Pune/Bangalore/Chennai/Hyderabad who've priced that gap in already.
  • Buyer who weighs owner feedback over sho — 3.9/5 across 393 owner ratings is a large enough sample to be a meaningful signal versus a handful of reviews.

Worth knowing

  • · Claimed mileage figures vary widely across sources (10 kmpl to 14.93 kmpl), so real-world petrol running costs are hard to pin down and likely land toward the l
  • · On-road pricing swings by city — the same car costs about ₹10L more on-road in Bangalore/Chennai than in Mumbai/Pune.
  • · Data confirms only 6 airbags; no ADAS or other active-safety features are listed, so buyers should confirm what's actually fitted at the variant they pick.
