The third-generation Audi Q3 introduces a dual-screen cockpit akin to the new Q5L, featuring an 11.9-inch infotainment display paired with a 12.8-inch digital instrument cluster.
While smaller in size and screen quality compared to premium models like the Q5L and A5L, the setup delivers robust smart functionality via an Android-based OS and expandable Audi App Store. Paired with optional Sonos premium audio, the system offers immersive entertainment, balancing cost with performance for the compact luxury segment.
On the ADAS front, the Q3 comes equipped with an Adaptive Driving Assistant, enabling features like paddle-shift lane changes and memory parking. These functions, while less advanced than China’s leading autonomous driving systems, enhance daily driving convenience.
Notably, Audi plans to integrate a Huawei-co developed combined driving assistance system for the Chinese market, a strategic move to compete with new-energy rivals. This partnership aims to bridge the tech gap by adding advanced features such as high-precision navigation and complex scenario handling, aligning the Q3 with local consumers’ demands for cutting-edge ADAS.
The interior tech upgrades reflect Audi’s strategy to blend familiar luxury elements with accessible innovation, positioning the Q3 as a tech-savvy choice for young buyers without compromising on premium brand appeal. The potential Huawei collaboration underscores the automaker’s commitment to localization, ensuring the Q3 remains competitive in China’s fast-evolving smart mobility landscape.
