Introducing the All-New Audi Q9 - Audi’s Flagship Luxury SUV

Audi is expanding its SUV lineup with the highly anticipated Audi Q9, a full-size, three-row luxury SUV that will redefine space, performance, and innovation in the premium segment. As Audi’s largest SUV ever, the Q9 marks a new era for the brand marrying classic quattro capability with cutting-edge design and technology to rival the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Cadillac Escalade. Visit Audi Marin to reserve your Audi Q9.

Audi Q9 Launch & Timeline

Audi has officially confirmed that the Q9 will make its global debut in 2026, debuting alongside the all-new Q7 as the brand’s flagship SUV offering. Positioned above the Q7 in size and luxury, the Q9 enters the prestigious full-size SUV class, a segment where Audi has historically had limited presence.

Audi Q9 Exterior Look and Spy Pictures

Early spy photography and industry reports indicate the Audi Q9 will feature a bold flagship design, highlighted by a commanding Singleframe® grille, wider stance, and sculpted proportions. Refined LED lighting, clean body lines, and an extended wheelbase are expected to support true three-row capability while maintaining Audi’s signature precision. Modern luxury and architectural simplicity should clearly separate the Q9 from smaller Q-series models like the Q7 and Q8.

Audi Q9 Interior: Three Rows of Flagship Comfort

Positioned to become Audi’s flagship SUV, the Audi Q9 is expected to bring true three-row comfort to the full-size luxury SUV segment. Available six or seven seat configurations should give families and executive travelers more flexibility, while premium details such as Nappa leather, natural wood inlays, and customizable ambient lighting create a refined cabin environment. Advanced features may include Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, intuitive MMI touchscreens, Audi’s first-ever automatic doors, an expansive panoramic sunroof with available switchable transparency and illumination, and a new Bang & Olufsen premium 4D sound system.

Audi Q9 Performance & Powertrains

Official specifications have yet to be released, but early reports suggest the Audi Q9 will offer multiple powertrain options, including turbocharged V6 and potential V8 engines, along with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant. Standard quattro® all-wheel drive is expected, delivering confident traction and composed handling in a variety of driving conditions.

How the Q9 Compares to the Competition

The Audi Q9 will directly challenge flagship competitors such as: BMW X7: known for dynamic performance and premium refinement Mercedes-Benz GLS: valued for space and comfort Cadillac Escalade: synonymous with big-SUV luxury Audi’s entry with the Q9 will appeal to drivers who want European engineering, nuanced design, and sophisticated interior experiences typically associated with the brand.

Q9 Infotainment and Technology

Early expectations for the Q9’s technology include next-generation driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane guidance, and advanced safety monitoring. A cutting-edge infotainment platform with seamless smartphone integration, expansive touch displays, and intuitive voice controls is also anticipated. Connectivity across all three rows, over-the-air software updates, and a fully digital interface should position the Audi Q9 at the forefront of usability and innovation within the full-size luxury SUV segment.
