Overview
- Audi opened orders in late July 2026 for the Q9 and says first deliveries will begin in the fourth quarter with some markets receiving cars in November.
- The Germany launch model is a 3.0‑litre V6 TDI rated at 220 kW (299 PS) with a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system that can add roughly 18 kW and about 630 Nm of torque to improve efficiency and low‑end response.
- Priced from about €108,400 in Germany, the Q9 is built in Bratislava and ships as a standard seven‑seater with an optional six‑seat captain‑chair layout and electrically opening doors.
- Audi equips the Q9 with high‑end tech including curved 3D OLED rear lights, advanced Matrix‑LED front lighting, a large panoramic glass roof, and Android Automotive OS with an AI voice assistant integration.
- Audi plans performance variants — an SQ9 with a V8 and a developing RS Q5 using RS5 hybrid tech — but published power figures differ across outlets and the RS Q5 details are based on spy photos and remain unconfirmed.
