The Premium trim is the ideal introduction to the Q3’s balanced character, delivering hallmark Audi design, robust performance, and modern connectivity in one refined package. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine serves up best-in-class 255 horsepower with 273 lb-ft of torque, harnessed by standard quattro® all-wheel drive for confident acceleration and surefooted poise. A sophisticated cockpit blends an 11.9-inch wraparound virtual display with a standard 12.8-inch MMI® touch screen, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for familiar, fast access to your apps and media. Signature styling cues—standard S line bumpers, the large Singleframe grille, dynamic shoulder lines, and crisp LED headlights with DRL signatures—make a strong first impression day or night. Practicality meets premium feel with 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats that slide, recline, or fold to accommodate luggage, gear, or groceries; behind the seats, the cargo area is roomy, and with the seats folded, space expands to handle weekend projects with ease. The rear taillight bar with illuminated Audi rings delivers a distinctive look as you roll past Wasco and Shafter, while our Audi Bakersfield team is ready to walk you through warranty coverage and Audi Signature Care. If you’ve been considering the 2026 Audi Q3 as your next companion, the Premium trim gives you a confident start.
