The Audi Q9 is coming. It will be a (up to) seven-seat SUV with electrically powered doors and a panoramic roof and 4D sound and likely a hotline to the International Space Station. It will also take over from the outgoing A8 as Audi’s new flagship automobile. It will also be absolutely flippin\u2019 huge.<\/p>\n

Audi itself calls the incoming Q9 its \u201cfirst large full-size SUV\u201d, forgetting it already makes something large and full sized called \u2018Q7\u2019. This is bigger of course, because it\u2019s not really aimed at this sceptred, pot-holed island, but rather the many States that make up America, and a place called \u2018China\u2019. Big places, those.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Big places that need a big car. You can spec it as a seven-seater, but if you opt for a six-seater the middle row gets a pair of heated\/cooled individual chairs that offer \u201cbusiness-class comfort\u201d. Every chair is electrically adjustable, with the fronts getting all the goodies.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the front, you\u2019ll notice the Q9 gets a large, wide digital display and infotainment system angled towards the driver, while the passenger gets their own separate screen display. Screens, huh, wonder if they\u2019ll ever catch on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mercifully there are buttons too, on the steering wheel, on the centre console, and on the doors. Speaking of doors, they\u2019re electrically powered \u201cfor the first time in an Audi\u201d, and operated \u201cwith a key, the myAudi app, the MMI, the brake pedal, or the seatbelt buckle\u201d. They won\u2019t open if one of the gazillion sensors can sense danger, or if there\u2019s not enough room.<\/p>\n

Plenty of room inside of course, no doubt aided by that standard-fit panoramic sunroof that can change to block out the sun. Naturally there\u2019s ambient lighting courtesy of many LEDs, a 4D sound system from Bang & Olufsen, many options and lots of storage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Engines? There will be some. Likely big (V8), likely helped by electricity. There’ll also be a bit of a hurdle to overcome, likely depending on whether new<\/em> US tariffs for EU cars actually come into play, which will likely affect a car like the Q9.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see the finished car at the end of July, but in the meantime, why not share your thoughts on this absolutely flippin\u2019 huge Audi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
