Audi is entering an entirely new segment with the arrival of the 2027 Audi Q9, an all-new full-size luxury SUV designed to combine impressive space, sophisticated technology, confident performance and the unmistakable character of Audi.

Positioned above the Q7 in the Audi SUV lineup, the Q9 becomes the brand's new flagship SUV and Audi's first full-size SUV. And fittingly, Audi chose New York City for the world premiere of the Q9.

For drivers and families looking for more space, more technology and a more elevated luxury experience, the Q9 represents an important new chapter for Audi.

The 2027 Audi Q9 is coming soon to Audi Nyack.

What Is the 2027 Audi Q9?

The Audi Q9 is an all-new, three-row luxury SUV designed to sit above the Audi Q7.

With seating for up to seven passengers, generous cargo capacity and a substantially larger footprint than the Q7, the Q9 is designed for customers who want the space and presence of a full-size luxury SUV without giving up Audi's emphasis on technology, design and driving dynamics.

Audi says the Q9 can provide up to 87.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the second and third rows folded. Buyers can choose between six- and seven-seat configurations, depending on configuration.

The Q9 is also approximately 209 inches long, giving it a substantial presence on the road and creating additional room for passengers throughout the cabin.

A New Flagship for Audi

The Q9 isn't simply another addition to Audi's SUV lineup.

Audi describes the Q9 as its new portfolio flagship, placing it at the top of the brand's SUV range.

That positioning is evident in the Q9's proportions, technology and interior design. Audi developed the vehicle with the needs of the U.S. market specifically in mind, recognizing the demand for large luxury SUVs that combine three-row practicality with premium comfort.

The result is an SUV designed for families, executives and anyone who wants substantial space without compromising on luxury.

A Bold New Audi Design

The 2027 Q9 introduces a distinctive new interpretation of Audi SUV design.

Its broad stance and substantial proportions give it an immediate road presence, while carefully sculpted surfaces create a sophisticated appearance rather than simply emphasizing size.

Available 22-inch Audi Sport wheels further reinforce the Q9's presence.

At the rear, available curved digital OLED taillights introduce another distinctive element. The OLED technology can display different light signatures and warning symbols, while the curved design allows the lighting to remain visible across a wider viewing angle.

The Q9 also incorporates advanced lighting technology into its identity, making lighting an important part of both its design and safety technology.

An Interior Designed Like a Luxury Lounge

The Q9's interior may be its most important feature.

Audi designed the cabin to provide an atmosphere that feels more like a luxury lounge than a traditional three-row SUV.

A standard panoramic sunroof brings additional natural light into the cabin, while available ambient lighting can change the character of the interior.

Depending on configuration, the Q9 can offer:

• Available massage and ventilation for the seats
• Easy access to the third row
• Six- or seven-passenger seating
• Available five-zone deluxe automatic climate control
• Premium interior materials
• Ambient lighting
• Heated and ventilated seating
• Advanced infotainment technology
• Available automatic doors

The available five-zone climate system is particularly notable for families, allowing passengers—even those in the third row—to have their own climate settings.

Space for Seven—and Everything That Comes With Them

The Q9 is designed to make three-row luxury more practical.

With seating for up to seven passengers and flexible second- and third-row configurations, the Q9 can adapt between carrying passengers and carrying cargo.

Fold the second and third rows and the Q9 provides up to 87.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

That makes the Q9 particularly appealing to families who need room for passengers, luggage, sports equipment, shopping and everything else that comes with everyday life.

Audi's goal is clear: provide full-size SUV capability without making owners choose between passenger comfort and practicality.

Audi's Digital Interior Experience

Technology takes center stage in the Q9.

The vehicle features a highly digital cockpit with high-resolution displays, including the Audi virtual cockpit and a large MMI® infotainment display.

A standard 12.3-inch MMI front passenger display gives the front passenger access to entertainment and apps without interfering with the driver's primary display.

The Q9 can also be equipped with a head-up display, wireless charging and multiple USB ports.

The result is an interior designed around the idea that every passenger should have access to technology and entertainment.

Intelligent Lighting Technology

Audi has made lighting a major part of the Q9 experience.

Available digital OLED rear lights can display different light signatures and warning symbols. The system can also provide additional visual information to surrounding drivers.

Up front, Audi's advanced lighting technology is designed to improve visibility while contributing to the Q9's distinctive appearance.

Inside the cabin, architectural lighting and available ambient lighting help create a personalized atmosphere.

In other words, lighting isn't simply about seeing and being seen—it is part of the Q9's overall design experience.

Powerful Performance

The Q9 combines its substantial size with impressive performance.

The standard Q9 is powered by a 429-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6, while the performance-oriented SQ9 raises output to 591 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged V8.

The Q9 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.9 seconds, according to Audi.

That combination of size and acceleration illustrates what makes the Q9 different from a conventional family SUV.

It's designed to carry the family comfortably while still providing the performance expected from a premium Audi.

Adaptive Air Suspension

Comfort is a major priority for the Q9.

Adaptive air suspension is standard, helping the Q9 deliver a controlled and comfortable ride while adapting to different driving conditions.

For a full-size SUV, suspension technology becomes particularly important. The Q9 is designed to provide the elevated seating position and commanding presence of a large SUV without sacrificing the refined driving experience expected from Audi.

Advanced Driver Assistance

The Q9 also brings an extensive collection of driver-assistance technologies designed to make everyday driving easier.

Available systems can assist with:

• Highway driving
• Lane positioning
• Adaptive cruise control
• Parking
• Surrounding traffic awareness
• Emergency situations

One of the most notable available technologies is adaptive driving assistant plus, which provides hands-free partial automated driving on specified highways and approved routes.

In the United States, Audi says the system can operate at speeds up to 85 mph on approved highways, while the driver must remain attentive and responsible for the vehicle.

A New Kind of Audi Luxury

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Q9 is that Audi isn't simply trying to make its biggest SUV.

The Q9 is intended to create a new level of luxury within the Audi lineup.

That means combining:

Space — Three rows and up to 87.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

Comfort — Available massage seating, five-zone climate control and adaptive air suspension.

Technology — Digital displays, passenger-screen entertainment and advanced driver assistance.

Performance — Up to 429 horsepower in the Q9 and 591 horsepower in the SQ9.

Design — A bold new exterior, curved OLED lighting and a sophisticated interior.

The Q9 brings all five together in one vehicle.

The Audi Q9 vs. the Audi Q7

For shoppers already considering the Audi Q7, the arrival of the Q9 creates a new choice.

The Q7 remains a versatile three-row luxury SUV, while the Q9 is designed for customers who want more space, more presence and a more elevated flagship experience.

The Q9 sits at the top of the Audi SUV lineup, with a larger cabin, greater cargo capacity and a more substantial overall footprint than the Q7.

For buyers who regularly carry passengers, travel long distances or simply want the largest and most luxurious Audi SUV available, the Q9 is designed specifically for them.
