Among troubled automakers, the mainstream brands tend to get most of the attention, but some smaller brands have been struggling, too. Audi is one of them: Sales were down 16% last year, and loads of models contributed to the drop. One of them was the brand’s second-bestseller, the Q3, which had dropped 27%. The model had reached the end of a pretty long lifespan of six years, so with any luck, Audi’s fully redesigned 2026 Q3 will help right the German luxury ship.
