Audi Q3 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Audi Q3 is a compact luxury SUV, and the price you see depends on the source. One listing gives a starting MSRP, another adds destination, and a third reports what buyers have paid on average. Those three numbers answer different questions, so this page keeps them apart.

Our data for the 2027 Q3 covers the S line quattro only. We do not have prices for other Q3 trims, so we will not guess at them.

The starting MSRP for the 2027 Q3 S line quattro is $44,400, according to autoevolution's list of 2027 Audi pricing. TrueCar lists the same trim at $45,795 including destination.

These two numbers are not meant to match. The first is a starting MSRP, and the second adds the destination charge. We do not have the exact destination fee, so we cannot say how much of the difference it explains. Treat any total with destination as the closer estimate of the sticker you will see at the dealership.

TrueCar also reports a national market average price for the 2027 S line:

The national average is $45,312. That figure reflects market transactions, not the sticker. It can be above or below the MSRP depending on options, incentives, and negotiation. Your local market may differ, so use it as a reality check on the sticker.

The 2026 Q3 S line quattro started at $45,095 according to TrueCar:

Compared with the 2027 listing at $45,795 including destination, the 2027 model is priced higher. The sources and the basis for destination in the 2026 figure are not stated, so read the gap as a general direction. Check the model year on any listing you compare.

• Trim and package. Packages add to the total. Use Audi's build tool for the exact price of the car you want.
• Options. Wheels, interior choices, and technology packages can raise the final price.
• Color. Premium paint colors may carry an extra charge.
• Destination. A fixed charge on every new vehicle, shown on the window sticker.
• Dealer add-ons. Accessories installed at the dealership should be itemized separately.

A luxury compact can sell at, above, or below the MSRP depending on local inventory and incentives. The starting MSRP shows none of that. Dealers can add a markup when supply is tight, and you can negotiate it.

Ask several dealers for an itemized out-the-door quote with the vehicle price, destination, documentation fees, taxes, and add-ons broken out.

• Fuel. Check the official fuel economy for the configuration you want and weigh it against your annual mileage.
• Insurance. Luxury brands can cost more to insure. Get quotes before you buy.
• Maintenance and repairs. Parts and labor at a brand dealer are often priced differently from an independent shop. Compare estimates and ask what the warranty covers.
• Tires and brakes. Replace them on schedule, since both matter for safety.
• Registration and taxes. These vary by state.

Monthly payments depend on credit, term, down payment, and rate. Luxury brands often advertise lease offers, and they change regularly. Compare them with a quote from your bank or credit union. For advice on your own finances, consult a licensed financial professional.
