Audi Confirms New Q3 and Several PHEV Models in 2025
Audi has been testing the next-generation Q3 for over a year now. Now, the German automaker has confirmed the small SUV’S next generation will launch in 2025.
But that's not all Audi had to announce. It confirmed several plans for the year, including the presentation of the new A7 sedan later this year; we’ll also see several plug-in hybrid models introduced before 2025 is out.

Details of the Q3 SUV are scarce. The vehicles seen on test drive suggest that the dimensions will be more or less the same. We do know the new model will once again be based on the same platform (Volkswagen's MQB), albeit reworked and named MQB Evo.
That means the new Q3 will be gasoline-powered, in fact it will be one of the last of its kind from Audi, which has already announced that, from 2026, it will only be launching electric models. Of course, developments in the electric vehicle market could compel the automaker to revise its plans; we'll have to see.
The announcement of several plug-in hybrid models is perhaps a clue in this direction.
