Best new Audis coming soon

Audi is set to launch new model after new model over the coming years, and here’s what we know about them so far

Audi had an incredibly busy 2025, launching about half a dozen new models in rapid succession. And it doesn’t look like things are slowing down anytime soon for the German giant, not least because the company will be on the F1 grid for the first time this year. 

More exciting new cars are just on the horizon too, from the return of the A2 hatchback to a drop-dead gorgeous drop-top sports car. Here’s everything we know so far about all the new Audi models coming soon to a showroom near you.

Audi A2 e-tron

The original Audi A2 was one of the most outlandish cars of the noughties, and considered by many to have been way ahead of its time – but it was also a commercial flop. Hopefully second time’s the charm, because the brand’s long-awaited, entry-level electric car is not just going to be inspired by the oddball hatchback, it will also be called the A2 e-tron.

Despite Audi’s best efforts with the camouflage on the prototype we spotted, there’s no disguising the cab-forward silhouette and a roofline that arcs aggressively near the rear, just as it did on the original A2.

Underneath, the new car will sit on an updated version of the MEB architecture that already underpins about a dozen EVs, including the Volkswagen ID.3, Skoda Elroq and Ford Capri. Thanks to its aerodynamic design, we suspect the A2 e-tron could offer up to around 400 miles of range.

Audi Concept C - front

The stunning Audi Concept C not only previewed the look and feel of the brand’s forthcoming creations from new chief design officer Massimo Frascella, it announced to the world that Audi will be making an all-electric sports car. The clean-sheet design draws inspiration from the firm’s illustrious history – specifically the Type C racer from the 1930s, and the iconic Audi TT

Best of all, the Concept C wasn’t some pie-in-the-sky’ concept. A production version is coming and it will hit the road in 2027, potentially based on the same architecture as the next Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster. We have our fingers and toes crossed that Audi’s designers don't have to make any changes to turn the Concept C into reality. 

Audi Q3

The new Audi Q3 is here, and the BMW X1, Mercedes GLA and MINI Countryman rival is a marked improvement over the already-impressive outgoing car. The plug-in hybrid model is particularly impressive, because it brings good efficiency and range.

There are petrol and diesel versions as well as the PHEV, and all are good to drive: the ride is smooth enough, and the interior is comfy and well equipped. It’s a bit expensive, but if you can afford it, the new Q3 looks like a great family car choice.

Audi Q7

The third-generation Audi Q7 will finally arrive in 2026, and about time too, because it’s already been more than a decade since the current version of the firm’s BMW X5 rival was launched. As well as borrowing some styling cues from the latest Audi Q5, the Audi Q7 is almost certainly going to use the same Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, and should be offered with a choice of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid power.

Audi Q9

New Audi Q9 - front 3/4

The all-new Audi Q9 is a jumbo-sized luxury seven-seat SUV to rival the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS. The flagship SUV will adopt Audi’s latest design language as seen on the Q3, applying the same look to a larger body with an extended wheelbase that will ape the BMW and Mercedes in both proportions and presence. A range of petrol and plug-in hybrid V6 options will be available in the standard Q9, plus there will be a high-performance SQ9 version, although we don’t yet know what will power it.
