Spy Shots – Audi Q7 Facelift & Audi S3 Facelift

Audi Q7 Facelift

Our spies caught a prototype of the Audi Q7 facelift which is to keep the current generation up to date until an all-new model will arrive in 2026. Changes will be made to the car’s front and rear bumpers and all-new headlights. On top, the facelifted Q7 will receive revised inner graphics of the taillamps. With likely no changes under the bonnet, interior and connectivity should receive updates, too.

Audi S3 Facelift

It hasn’t even been three years since Audi revealed the latest iteration of its A3 family hatch and sedan, but a facelifted version appears to already be in the works. Our spy photographers have captured what’s understood to be a prototype mid-life updated Audi S3 hatch with camouflage wrap covering portions of the car.

Although this spied A3 in S3 guise looks very similar to the current model, keen-eyed viewers will be able to see there are a couple of minor exterior design changes. At the front the corner air vents seem to be reworked, and the only other notable change is the slightly different rear bumper that’s covered in a lot of camouflage. There could be other minor changes at the back too that are hidden by this camouflage.

It’s unclear if Audi is planning to make any changes to the A3’s powertrains as part of the update. The all-new A3, which will come in 2027, will be offering electric power only and riding on the new Scalable Systems Platform electric vehicle architecture.

It’s certain to say that the minor changes we spied on this S3 hatch will as well make it onto the lesser standard model and, of course, the range-topper RS3.
