Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said the Q9 represents the brand's new flagship, with premium materials, individual electric seats in the second row and automatic doors underscoring the company's focus on interior quality, combined with driver assist systems and an overall in-car experience.
Dimensions and design
The Q9 measures 5.31 metres in length, 2.21 metres in width and 1.81 metres in height, with a wheelbase of 3.14 metres, making it the largest Audi built to date.
It is offered in two exterior lines: the standard advanced line, which features vertical slats in the Singleframe grille, and the sportier S line, which has an open Singleframe design without slats, a more pronounced lower front section and a larger rear spoiler.
Alloy wheel sizes range from 20 to 23 inches, and 22- and 23-inch tyres come with acoustic foam inserts to cut road noise.
Seating and interior
The Q9 seats seven as standard, with a six-seat configuration offered as an option. All seats are electrically adjustable, and the two individual seats in the second row are power-adjustable with an optional heating function. In the seven-seat layout, the second row uses a 35/30/35 split with Isofix child-seat mounting points on all three positions.
Sports seats come as standard, with ventilation available as an option and heating, ventilation and massage functions offered on the sports seats plus.
