Audi has revealed the first official images of the interior of the new Q9, the SUV set to become the brand’s largest and most luxurious model ever, aiming to compete directly with models such as the BMW X7, Range Rover, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.
According to information from Car Magazine, the three-row Q9 will offer configurations for six or seven occupants, including individual power seats in the second row, as well as motorized-opening doors — something unprecedented in a production Audi. With the new feature, the doors can be opened via the MyAudi app, the key fob, or directly through the infotainment system.
The interior follows Audi’s new digital design language, featuring a massive screen setup that includes an 11.9-inch display integrated into the dashboard, a 14.5-inch central infotainment screen, and a 10.9-inch display for the front passenger.
Among the most sophisticated features are an electrochromic panoramic roof with individually adjustable segments, ambient lighting with up to 30 colors, and a 4D Bang & Olufsen sound system with vibrating actuators integrated into the seats. The front seats also offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
Audi has not yet officially confirmed the engine lineup, but specialized outlets indicate that the Q9 will be equipped with the brand’s powerful V8 engine, with possible hybrid and plug-in hybrid V6 variants.
The full debut of the Q9 is scheduled for July. Sales are expected to begin by the end of 2026, initially focused on the United States and United Kingdom markets.
