Introducing The New Audi Q3
If you want an SUV that feels easy to live with every day, the new Audi Q3 fits the brief. For family use, commuting, or weekend trips, the Q3 stays practical without feeling bulky. You get a generous boot for the weekly shop, plenty of useful driver assistance tech for busy roads, and a wide choice of trims and engines, so you can match the car to how you actually drive.
The latest model blends the higher seating position many drivers want with a cabin that's laid out clearly, so key controls don't feel buried in menus. The new Q3 also gives you more flexibility inside than older versions, thanks to features like the sliding rear bench, which lets you swap rear legroom for extra boot space when you need it.
When you're ready to try it for yourself, you can book a test drive with Vertu and see how the Q3 fits into your routine.

New Audi Q3 FAQs
Are the tech features of the new Audi Q3 easy to use?
The Q3 keeps key controls close to hand, and the screen menus stay clear once you set up your shortcuts. If you use smartphone mirroring, you can run familiar apps for calls, music, and mapping on the central display (availability varies).
Is the new Audi Q3 easy to park in tight spaces?
For an SUV, the Q3 is straightforward to park on the road, and parking tech can make a big difference in tight spots. Depending on the version you choose, you can get helpful features like parking sensors, reversing cameras, and higher-spec camera systems that make it easier to judge kerbs and narrow bays.
Which new Audi Q3 trim suits different drivers?
Sport focuses on value while keeping the cabin feeling premium. S line adds sportier styling details, while Edition 1 leans into darker exterior design cues.
What insurance group is the new Audi Q3 in?
Insurance groups vary by engine, trim, and optional equipment, so it's best to check the exact car. As a guide, many 35 TFSI versions sit in the mid-to-high 20s, while higher-output diesel and plug-in hybrid versions can sit in the low-to-mid 30s. Your postcode and driving history also influence the final price.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Audi Q3?
A fixed plan suits predictable mileage and can help you budget, while a flexible plan can fit better if your annual mileage changes. The Q3 often suits a plan that lines up with your typical driving mix - short trips, longer motorway miles, or a blend - so you avoid paying for cover you don't use. You can also talk it through with our team and view Audi servicing options through Vertu.
What warranty cover comes with a new Audi Q3?
In the UK, new Audi cars come with warranty cover for up to three years or 60,000 miles, with the mileage limit applying in the third year. Plug-in hybrid versions also include separate high-voltage battery cover with its own terms. Exact warranty terms can vary, so it's always worth confirming the cover on the specific Q3 you choose.
