Overview
- Audi, which on Tuesday set a July 29 world reveal, positioned the Q9 as its new range-topping SUV with Italian deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2026.
- The cabin offers seven seats as standard in a 2+3+2 layout, with an optional six-seat 2+2+2 setup that adds two power, ventilated captain’s chairs in row two.
- Displays include an 11.9-inch driver screen, a 14.5-inch curved center touchscreen, and an optional 10.9-inch passenger screen, paired with Bang & Olufsen 4D audio that adds seat vibrations and headrest speakers.
- Convenience features include power-operated doors that stop for obstacles or cyclists and a large panoramic glass roof with segmented electrochromic dimming to cut glare and UV.
- Audi withheld powertrain data and official EU prices, and reporters estimate a starting price near €110,000–€130,000 as the Q9 targets buyers in the United States and China against BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS.
