Audi Q9: everything we know about the new top-of-the-range SUV

Audi Q9: tudo o que sabemos sobre novo SUV topo de gama

Audi has lost ground to Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the large SUV segment. Mercedes-Benz was the first to enter this class in the mid-2000s with the original GL. The second generation followed in 2012, with a rebranding as the GLS for the mid-cycle update, and it is now in its third generation. BMW also offers a rival to the GLS in the form of the X7, but Audi did not yet have a car in this category, a gap that will be filled with the launch of the Q9.

As a long-awaited model, the Audi Q9 is currently in the development testing phase. The model, positioned in the range of the four rings above the Q7 and assuming the role of flagship, will use common platforms and drivetrains, wrapped in an instantly recognizable package and equipped with the latest technological equipment, comfort features, and safety systems from the manufacturer.

Split headlights dominate the style

More and more manufacturers, especially premium ones, have opted for split headlights in certain models. The upcoming Audi Q9 also follows this route, and while we don’t necessarily think it’s a good idea, at least this high-riding vehicle looks somewhat elegant with the slim DRLs positioned above the main light clusters. It also features a large grille, although not as large as some of the company’s past and present models, and a wide air intake on the bumper with a honeycomb pattern.

Space for the whole family

The Audi Q7 has always been slightly larger than its rivals, the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE, thus stepping into the upper segment line. As a result, it is safe to assume that the Q9 will significantly improve this aspect. It will have a spacious second row and a third row of seats behind it, although the latter may be more suitable for children.

Although it won’t be long until Audi introduces the Q9, exact details about the construction and engine lineup are still to be revealed. However, several media outlets mention an updated variant of the MLB platform, the same one that will underpin the next Audi A5 (successor to the current A4). It is expected that the engineers from Ingolstadt will pay extra attention to chassis tuning, as we believe this model will be one of the most comfortable in the segment.

Release date

The Audi Q9 does not yet have a confirmed release date. Some say it will be in the beginning of next year; others believe it may debut a little earlier or maybe later. Our guess points to late 2025, first in Europe, followed by the United States.
