Powered doors, pano roof, and up to seven seats for Audi’s largest ever car
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’ huge.
Audi itself calls the incoming Q9 its “first large full-size SUV”, forgetting it already makes something large and full sized called ‘Q7’. This is bigger of course, because it’s not really aimed at this sceptred, pot-holed island, but rather the many States that make up America, and a place called ‘China’. Big places, those.
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 “business-class comfort”. Every chair is electrically adjustable, with the fronts getting all the goodies.
Speaking of the front, you’ll 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’ll ever catch on.
