Elegance and space: a first look inside the new Audi Q9

There are cars whose inner qualities say more than impressive performance data. Audi's first large full-size SUV is one of them. At the heart of the new Audi Q9 is a spacious, exclusive interior – conceived as a sanctuary for family, business, and long journeys. Behind its doors – which are electrically powered for the first time – Audi’s new flagship model offers up to seven seats, easy access to the third row, and a large, illuminated panoramic sunroof with switchable transparency. The new 4D sound system turns music into an immersive experience. The Q9 will be launched in around two months, but one thing is already clear: the journey begins the moment you step inside.

First quarter of 2026: Audi figures shaped by challenging market conditions – growth in Germany and Europe

The Audi Group performed solidly in the first quarter of 2026, a period marked by geopolitical and economic turbulence. Despite the global decline in the automotive market, the company increased its deliveries in Germany and Europe. While deliveries of battery-electric vehicles declined slightly overall, partly due to changes in subsidy policies, Audi-brand plug-in hybrids saw year-on-year growth of approximately 160 percent. In the first three months of the year, revenue reached 14.2 billion euros, operating profit rose to 588 million euros, and net cash flow stood at 883 million euros.
