Get a first look at the forthcoming 2026 Audi Q9, Audi’s yet-to-be-officially-launched full‑size SUV positioned above the Q7. In this video, we explore what we know so far:
🚘 Launch & Positioning – Expected to debut in 2026 as Audi’s flagship SUV, competing with the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Range Rover L460. Markets include the U.S., China, UAE, and potentially the UK in 2027 🛋️ Seating Configurations – Offers seven seats in a Q7-style layout, with an optional six-seat premium configuration similar to the Bentley Bentayga 🔧 Platform & Powertrains – Built on VW Group’s extended Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), supporting longitudinal engines. Expect options ranging from a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder to a twin‑turbo V8. A plug-in hybrid powertrain will likely power the high-performance SQ9 variant 🎨 Exterior Design – Spy shots and renders feature a bold hexagonal grille, split‑headlight design, full-width LED taillight bar, quad exhaust outlets hinting at sporty SQ9 variants 💰 Estimated Pricing – Expected to begin around $90,000–$100,000 USD, though some reports suggest the starting price may approach $130,000 for fully loaded trims 🌟 Luxury Focus – Larger than the Q7 (wheelbase extended by ~100–150mm) for increased interior space and comfort; upscale materials and advanced infotainment systems are anticipated
Note: Audi has confirmed that new models from 2026 onward will be exclusively electric. However, the Q9 will be the last generation of combustion-engine SUV shipments, expected to be launched before full electrification takes over
