The 2026 New York auto show included product reveals, model updates and talk of the impact of the ongoing war in Iran.

Audi of America coordinated with dealerships to host one-night events at stores where the 2026 Q3 was the star of the show and consumers were the VIPs.

Volkswagen's No. 2 seller in the U.S. has undergone its first redesign, with the interior experience a focus point.

New York debuts will range from a sports car with a manual transmission to a three-row EV.

Despite the camouflage, the vehicles retain styling and engineering cues from previous generations.

Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lamborghini and Tesla cut or delayed EV programs as tariffs and weak demand drive automakers to book nearly $70 billion in write-downs.

Audi has simplified the Q3 lineup in the U.S., which translates to one powertrain.

An Ineos executive called the move another step forward for the brand in North America.

Launching the Q9 in the U.S. first reflects the brand’s U.S. ambitions, Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said.

The new generation’s design and proportions give the Q3 a look more like an SUV and less like a lifted hatchback.
