Audi Enters Full-Size SUV Segment

Designed for the US Market
The Q9 was developed with the US market in mind, addressing the demand for larger vehicles with more spacious third-row seating. Its dimensions, including a length of 209 inches (5,309 mm) and a 123.5-inch (3,137 mm) wheelbase, provide increased interior room compared to the Q7.
Platform and Engine Options
The Q9 utilizes Volkswagen Group’s new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, shared with other Audi models. At launch, it will feature a 2.9 L V6 engine. A performance-oriented SQ9 variant will also be available, equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system.
