Description
Audi finally has a true full-size flagship SUV to take on the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS. 🚙🇩🇪
Graeme Fletcher gives us a walkaround tour of the all-new 2027 Audi Q9 and its high-performance sibling, the SQ9.
Quiet Opulence Inside:
Step inside the cabin and you're greeted by a triple-screen glass dash, available Bang & Olufsen 4D haptic sound, a panoramic electrochromic glass roof, and three full rows of adult-friendly seating. It blends whisper-quiet refinement with cutting-edge tech.
Sporting Architecture & Twin-Turbo Power:
Don't let its massive 209-inch length fool you—this full-size SUV is engineered to dance.
⚙️ Audi Q9: Powered by a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 pushing out 429 horsepower.
🏎️ Audi SQ9: Drops in a heavy-hitting 4.0L twin-turbo V8 making a whopping 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
Paired with adaptive air suspension that automatically adjusts ride height, available rear-wheel steering, and standard quattro all-wheel drive, the SQ9 packs a level of agility that completely belies its imposing scale.
