As well as managing the news content thatu2019s published on CARu2019s website, Jake also helps to build the news-based content in the Agenda section of CARu2019s monthly print magazine u2013 planning how new cars, big industry stories and exclusive scoops can be crafted into the pages of CAR.nnnnJake has been a car enthusiast even before he could walk, pointing out car models on the street while still in a pushchair. Growing up, Jake has always been around cars, attending motor shows with family, amassing a vast collection of toy cars u2013 even managing to steer some his parentsu2019 cars and drive a Ferrari 355 (on private land!) before he was legally allowed to have a licence.nnnnHe knew from being a teenager that he wanted to write about cars and the automotive industry, so he went to Sunderland University (the same university CAR contributor Chris Chilton went to, among other members of the automotive media) to study journalism through an NCTJ-accredited course from 2011. During his final year in 2014, he even created his own car magazine from scratch u2013 which you can still read right here u2013 and achieved a 2:1 Batcheloru2019s Degree.nnnnJake then cut his teeth working for Dennis Publishingu2019s automotive titles Carbuyer and Auto Express for two years; time at the former taught him how to drive a website content system like he stole it, and the latter refined his news writing skills.nnnnAt CAR, itu2019s his job to know whatu2019s happening at all times in the automotive industry, react to breaking news stories and direct CARu2019s team as to how to approach news content both in print and online. He interviews industry executives to either get the scoop or help flesh out a story happening in the automotive world around us, attends press conferences and events to get the story from on the ground and investigates the latest technologies being developed for and by the car industry.nnnnJake writes mostly about new car reveals, wider industry stories and articles surrounding electric cars. On top of that, heu2019s written countless drive reviews for CAR u2013 both in print and online u2013 as well as on our companion site, Parkers. Heu2019s also the custodian of the CAR newsletter, keeping you up to date with everything thatu2019s happened in the world of CAR.nnnnWhen heu2019s not driving, Jake is a big gamer. As well as hammering racing games, Jake spends a lot of his time on role-playing games and gets his real geek on with simulation games like city builders on the PC. When heu2019s not in the digital universe, heu2019s usually seen building the latest Lego kit or buying a new pair of trainers u2013 even if his house is rapidly running out of space to fit any more of either.nnnnOn social media, Jakeu2019s Instagram profile is filled with all of the cars heu2019s been lucky enough to drive over the years, and you can follow him on X (nu00E9e Twitter).

New Audi Q9 revealed<br \/>\u25ba Three-row SUV is new flagship<br \/>\u25ba Has massive cupholders and powered doors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Audi has officially unveiled its new Q9 in New York City. It\u2019s an enormous new flagship SUV that\u2019s largely designed to cater to the American market, though it will be sold globally.<\/p>\n<p>The new three-row family SUV has seemingly been created with the average American in mind, prioritising external size, space inside and, of course, cupholder size. This thing is B I G; the Q9 is 5.3 metres in length, making it longer than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/range-rover\/suv\/\">Range Rover<\/a>, and 2.2 metres wide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-22.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-269477\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-22.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/720x0\/audi-q9-suv-22.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/1040x0\/audi-q9-suv-22.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Its look is a general evolution of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/first-official-pictures\/audi\/2026-q7\/\">Q7 SUV<\/a> as well as other recent Audis, with a grille so big it will surely be able to inhale smaller hatchbacks. Audi\u2019s lighting technology includes curved OLED lighting at the rear, as well as the same indicators that project onto the road at night to alert pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Audi is clearly listening to customer feedback and has offered a range of trims that aren\u2019t entirely gloss black; satin and wood-like materials can be had on the centre console, for example.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-27.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-269482\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-27.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/720x0\/audi-q9-suv-27.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/1040x0\/audi-q9-suv-27.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<p>The bigger news, though, is the space and flexibility of the interior. The new Q9 is available with seven seats as standard, or six via an option box tick. Go for the latter option and all six seats are partially powered and even come with their own lighting elements in the shoulder area. Audi is also keen to point out that the cupholders in the first and second row are so large they can fit enormous Stanley cups inside.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-25.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-269480\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/480x0\/audi-q9-suv-25.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/720x0\/audi-q9-suv-25.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/269473\/1040x0\/audi-q9-suv-25.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to expend any effort getting in, either, as Audi also offers powered doors on the Q9. As well as being able to operate them via the MyAudi app, a simple touch of the door handle will open them.<\/p>\n<p>A sole V6 diesel engine will initially be offered in Europe, generating 295bhp and utilising Audi\u2019s \u2018MHEV Plus\u2019 technology for engine-off coasting and a few miles of e-power in traffic. Air suspension is standard, and the Q9 can be had with rear-wheel steering too.<\/p>\n<p>While Audi has definitely framed the Q9 to appeal to Americans, though, it will be available in other markets including Europe. Audi says the Q9 will be available to order in Germany by the end of July, and it\u2019ll come to the UK towards the end of 2026 \u2013 likely for a price north of \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<aside class=\"about-author\">\n<h2 class=\"about-author-heading\">About the author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"about-author-inner\">\n<div class=\"main-author-summary-container\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"main-author-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/jake-groves\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/14234\/120x120\/jg5.jpg?quality=90)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-author-name-container\">\n<div class=\"main-author-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/jake-groves\/\">Jake Groves<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"main-author-job-title\">News Editor<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"main-author-byline\">Jake has been an automotive journalist since 2015, joining CAR as Staff Writer in 2017.

When he&#8217;s not out interviewing an executive, driving a new car for review or on a photoshoot for a CAR feature, he&#8217;s usually found geeking out on the latest video game, buying yet another pair of wildly-coloured trainers or figuring out where he can put another car-shaped Lego set in his already-full house.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div
