Does The New Audi Q3 Base Model Look Posh Enough to Earn Its Badge?
The new Q3 hasn't even been announced yet for the United States, but you can already virtually build the compact luxury crossover in its domestic market. Audi has fired up the online configurator tool in Germany, revealing the base model. As you can see from the screenshots we captured from the website, it looks far less sophisticated than the press images released a few days ago. That makes sense. Automakers always put their best foot forward when launching a new car, typically showcasing the most expensive version available. This 2026 Audi Q3 with zero options is far less desirable once you strip away the S Line goodies and all the other extras. Without ticking any boxes on the options list, German buyers must fork out €44,600 ($52,000). It's a hefty sum for an entry-level configuration, but keep in mind that 19% of that price is due to the value-added tax (VAT). 2026 Audi Q3 base model Photo by: Audi 2026 Audi Q3 S Line Photo by: Audi So, what do you get on a zero-option Q3? Arkona White is the only paint color Audi includes for 'free.' Those basic-looking 17-inch wheels with 235/60 tires will have to suffice unless you're willing to upgrade to alloys up to 20 inches. While even the standard headlights are full-LED, they appear rather plain. The matrix setup, featuring the 23-segment checkered flag motif seen in the official images, is replaced by a simpler design consisting of rectangles. Around back, the base Q3 has simple taillights that skip OLED tech and the wide light bar, and the Four Rings logo doesn't light up either. The honeycomb pattern on the rear bumper of higher trims is also gone, leaving you with a sea of plastic. At least there are no fake exhaust tips, as Audi has pledged to use the real thing forward , acknowledging the widespread disapproval of the faux ones. However, the new Q3 hides the exhaust tip underneath the bumper, though we imagine future SQ3 and RS Q3 hot versions will flaunt theirs. 2026 Audi Q3 base model Photo by: Audi 2026 Audi Q3 S Line Photo by: Audi Unsurprisingly, the interior also looks underwhelming without the silver and metallic accents. The base Q3 loses the ambient lighting and the flat-bottomed steering wheel. Audi wraps the seats in cloth, but at least retains the 40:20:40 split rear bench, even on the most basic configuration. Another plus: the dashboard has a normal look, unlike other new base models from Ingolstadt that skip the passenger display. Cars like the latest A5 and A6 use the same dashboard, regardless of whether the optional screen is selected. When it's not, a piece of blank plastic juts out from the passenger side , constantly reminding you of the missing feature. 2026 Audi Q3 base model Photo by: Audi 2026 Audi Q3 S Line Photo by: Audi Speaking of screens, Audi fits all Q3 versions with the same 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.8-inch infotainment system, so you're not stuck with smaller displays. However, the bezels are much thicker than we'd expect for a 2025 car. Sadly, even the base Q3 gets touch-sensitive keys on the steering wheel. The Q3 ushers in a newly developed unified stalk on the left side that handles both windshield wiper and turn signal controls, positioned above a separate stalk for adaptive cruise control. This reorganized layout clears space on the right for the gear selector, making room on the center console for features like cupholders and the wireless smartphone charging tray. We imagine the US-bound Q3 won't be as decontented as its German counterpart, since luxury brands typically prefer to sell better-equipped versions in America.

Accenture's Stock Tanks On Weak Q3 Bookings; Banks On Gen AI Growth
Accenture's stock dips more than 7% on lower bookings in Q3 2025, despite revenue and earnings beat. ... More (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP) (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/AFP via Getty Images) Accenture's stock dipped almost 7.5% to $285 per share last week after the company reported a decline of 6% in its new bookings at $19.7 billion in Q3 2025. The managed services new bookings dropped 10% y-o-y to $10.6 billion while the consulting new bookings came in slightly lower at $9.1 billion. However, the silver lining was the sharp rise in Generative AI new bookings of $1.5 billion, 67% up y-o-y, taking the total Gen AI bookings volume to $5.1 billion for the last twelve months. While Accenture saw weakness in its new bookings for the second consecutive quarter, the top-line continued to grow to $17.7 billion, 8% higher during the quarter, ahead of the market expectations. Consulting revenue came in at $ 9.08 billion (7% higher y-o-y), while the managed services revenue was $8.72 billion (up 9% y-o-y). Americas revenue, which now includes Latin America, grew 8% to $8.97 billion, despite the challenges from the slow U.S. federal contracting landscape. Financial services (13% y-o-y) and Health & Public services (7% y-o-y) continued to drive the revenue growth during the period. Gross margin was slightly lower at 32.9%, down from 33.4% y-o-y, mainly due to higher labor costs during the quarter. However, the operating margins (GAAP) expanded to 16.8%, up from 16.0% y-o-y, owing to effective cost control at the operating level. As a result, GAAP EPS came in at $3.49 per share, 15% higher y-o-y. At the end of Q3 2025, Accenture held cash and cash equivalents (including short-term investments) of over $9.6 billion against debt and lease obligations of $8.2 billion. The company generated free cash flow of $3.52 billion, up nearly $500 million y-o-y, owing to a strong cash conversion mechanism. It also announced a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share, which was 15% higher compared to the same quarter of last year. Of late, Accenture has prioritized share buybacks over acquisitions, reflecting the management's solid confidence in its stock vs. investing in startups or paying dividends. During Q3 2025, the company repurchased 6 million shares for a sum of $1.8 billion, leaving $3.3 billion in its share buyback authorization. Going forward, the management expects macro headwinds and project cancellations to continue, with a 2% headwind anticipated in Q4 2025 revenue that is expected to be within $17.0 to $17.6 billion. However, the company raised its full-year FY 2025 revenue guidance to 6% to 7% from 5% to 7%. It also increased the diluted EPS guidance to $12.77 to $12.89 per share from the previous expectations of $12.55 to $12.79 per share. Free cash flow is estimated to be in the range of $9.0 to $9.7 billion, higher from the prior guidance of $8.8 to $9.5 billion. Over the last few quarters, Accenture has been focused at growing its Gen AI business, relying on an acquisition-led strategy to gain quick access to the Gen AI space to offset the global slowdown in its core businesses (consulting and managed services). The company has invested over $297 million across 4 strategic acquisitions and investments in Q3 2025, and around $789 million on 15 acquisitions during 9M 2025. As a result, the company's Gen AI business generated $700 million in Q3 2025 and $1.8 billion in 9M 2025, with bookings at $1.5 billion and $4.1 billion for the respective periods. Further, the company has increased its data and AI workforce to ~75,000, on track to achieve its goal of reaching 80,000 people by the end FY 2026. Meanwhile, the company's CEO Julie Sweet recently highlighted its plans to continue to expand its Gen AI leadership with the launch of 'Reinvention Services'. The Reinvention Services unit will be a consolidation of five service lines – Strategy, Consulting, Technology, Operations and Song – into a single segment. This will be launched on September 1, 2025, and will be led by Manish Sharma as Chief Services Officer. The current COO John Walsh will become the CEO for the Americas operations. Though Accenture's strategy to hedge the macro risks with a Gen AI-centric pivot sounds reasonable, a decline in new bookings for two consecutive quarters warrants cautiousness. Further, a debt-backed acquisition strategy, coupled with weakness in its core businesses, could negatively impact its margins and in turn its stock price in the near term. Thus, execution and delivering of Gen AI expansion plans would play a crucial role in determining Accenture's future growth.

2025 Audi A1, Q2 and Q3 get limited edition S line treatment
Audi Australia has launched limited edition versions of the A1 hatchback and Q2 andQ3crossover SUVs, which the automaker says offer as much as $7000 of value for a lower cost. Named as 'Edition' models – although Audi hasn't disclosed how many of each will be available for customers – the three limited-run models are in Australian showrooms now. While not touted as end of financial year (EOFY) specials, a release from the automaker said, "With EOFY fast approaching, the timing is perfect for customers to take advantage of the significant added value these upgrades represent for only modest increases in price over the models on which they are based." Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Audi A1 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $41,800 before on-road costs – a $2600 premium over the standard S line but, according to Audi, boasting $7000 worth of additional equipment. The additional gear includes a black-themed exterior with black 17-inch 'polygon' alloy wheels, black grille surround and front badging – while there's an S line exterior front and rear bumpers, side sills and a more aggressive roof-mounted rear spoiler. It features adaptive LED headlights and LED tail lights, while the rear hatch badges have been removed. All examples get a Mythos Black roof and mirror caps, but there are no changes inside, where 'Derby' fabric upholstery is standard. Leather upholstery is an additional $1500 option, while a $1000 Comfort package adds heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and colour-adjustable ambient lighting. MORE: Everything Audi Q1 The Audi Q2 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $50,990 before on-road costs, which Audi says includes $7000 of value for an additional $1500. The Edition also sees an S line exterior offered on a Q2 SUV for the first time and brings 19-inch 'Y-spoke' alloy wheels with a gloss black finish, along with S line front and rear bumpers, side skirts and rear spoiler. Among the five colour choices, Daytona Grey has been made available – another first for the Q2 in Australia. The grille surround, Audi rings, mirror caps and window trim are finished in black, as is the Q2's C-pillar 'blade', while there's an S line badge now on the front guards. A $2150 Comfort package available on the S line edition brings heated front seats, heated and power-folding exterior mirrors, rear privacy glass, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, semi-autonomous parking assist, and a 180W Audi Sound System.

The S line package is already standard on the Sportback, but the Edition sees it fitted to a Q3 SUV for the first time – adding unique bumpers, side sills and a rear spoiler. The SUV rides on 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels – the Sportback gets 20-inch 'V-Design' alloys – with both getting black treatment for the grille surrounds, front Audi badge, mirror caps and window surrounds.
