Milton Keynes, 26 August, 2026 – The all-new Audi Q9, the brand’s first full-size SUV flagship, is on sale in the UK priced from £103,900 (OTR). Combining world-first lighting technology, precise driving dynamics and a business-class on-board experience, enabled by exceptional levels of comfort and refinement, the Audi Q9 further strengthens the brand’s positioning in the UK premium market.

The Audi Q9 SUV is the largest model in the brand’s history, measuring 5,310mm long, 2,210mm wide and 1.810mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,140mm. At launch in the UK, a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine delivering 299 PS and 630 Nm of torque is the sole engine option. It also features MHEV plus technology with an electric-powered compressor for direct throttle response. A fast-shifting eight-speed  tiptronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive come as standard.

The Q9 seats seven passengers as standard, all rows featuring electrically adjustable and heated seats. On top spec Vorsprung trim, an optional Lounge Pack (£5,000) introduces a six-seat configuration across three rows, with ventilated and massage seats and a heated leather centre console arm rest in the second row.

“The Audi Q9 is a compelling new proof point of Audi’s leadership in the premium automotive market,” says Audi UK director José Miguel Aparicio. “As our first full-size SUV flagship, it completes the Audi SUV portfolio and introduces a new benchmark for luxury, innovation and comfort. Its suite of cutting-edge technologies elevates the in-car experience for our customers, transforming every journey into a truly special occasion.”

UK trim structure: Edition 1 and Vorsprung
As the opening specification in the Audi Q9 range, Edition 1 combines striking design, advanced technology and exceptional comfort as standard. Its visual presence is defined by 22-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels, S line styling, a black styling package and Matrix LED headlights with customisable light signatures. Adaptive air suspension, all-wheel steering and quattro all-wheel drive deliver assured performance and refinement, while the spacious interior features Fine Nappa leather Sport seats plus with ventilation and massage functions in the front row, and heated seating across all three rows. An opening panoramic roof with switchable transparency, Bang & Olufsen 3D premium audio system and comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems further reinforce the Q9's flagship credentials.

Vorsprung models build on that by bringing together Audi’s most advanced technologies and luxury appointments. Distinctive 23-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels are complemented by Digital Matrix LED headlights, world first curved Digital OLED rear lights and illuminated exterior design elements. Inside, the Bang & Olufsen 4D Premium sound system delivers a truly immersive audio experience, while advanced driver assistance features including Park Assist Pro, Adaptive Cruise Assist Plus, 3D surround-view cameras and automatic doors ensure Vorsprung models sets the benchmark for sophistication and comfort in its segment.
