The Q9. Audi's first three-row flagship.

The all-new Audi Q9 redefines what a luxury family SUV can be — and Audi Albany is where New York's Capital Region gets its first look. Reserve your early allocation before the July premiere.

Audi Q9

WHY THE Q9 MATTERS

Built for Capital Region driving, not just the showroom floor.

The Q9 enters a competitive ultra-premium segment. What sets it apart is Audi's focus on the in-car experience — craftsmanship, advanced technology, and genuine three-row practicality working together, not competing for space.

For families around Latham, that means one vehicle that handles the school run through the Capital District, the commute into Albany, and a weekend run to the Adirondacks — with the same composure. The upcoming Platform Premium Combustion (PPC) architecture is also built to support electrified powertrain options as they arrive.

Audi Q9

A cabin engineered as a lounge, not just a seat.

Step inside and the Q9 feels different from anything else in the Audi lineup. The cabin is roomier than ever, with premium materials, quiet textures, and ambient lighting that create a calm, refined atmosphere for both family and business use.

New fabric and wood trims — plus tones like tamarind brown and stone beige — give Albany-area buyers more ways to personalize their flagship.

Audi Q9

Six seats for executive travel. Seven for the whole family.

6-Seat Executive

The executive six-seat layout adds two electrically adjustable captain’s chairs in the middle row — ideal for business travel or extra space on longer drives.

A second-row outer seat slides and tilts forward electrically for third-row access, without folding. Comfort entry is one button away, on the MMI or the rear door.

7-Seat

The seven-seat layout gives families maximum flexibility, and all three second-row positions accept child safety seats — a thoughtful detail for parents in Colonie and Clifton Park.

Details that only reveal themselves in daily use.

Segment-first automatic doors

For the first time on an Audi, all four doors open and close electrically at the push of a button — through the myAudi app, the MMI, or the key fob. Surround sensors watch for obstacles and cyclists, which matters in tight lots around downtown Albany.

Panoramic sunroof, switchable transparency

The standard sunroof spans roughly 16 square feet. An available PDLC system darkens nine glass segments individually for glare control, with 99.5% UV blocking and an 84-LED ambient system for evening drives along the Hudson River.

Bang & Olufsen 4D sound and lighting

Headrest speakers handle calls and navigation, while seat actuators let occupants feel the music. A dynamic interaction light spans the windshield base, syncing with rhythm and matching album art.

Storage, charging, cargo versatility

Two Qi2.2 wireless pads and USB-C ports delivering up to 100 watts sit in the console. In back, an aluminum rail system with sliding hooks secures cargo in three dimensions — roof rails are standard for skis and bikes.

Three trims, scaled from entry luxury to full flagship.

Final trim names and U.S. specifications will be confirmed at the global premiere on July 28, 2026. Based on Audi's current Q-series structure, here's what Albany-area shoppers can expect.

Software that keeps up. quattro® that never doesn't.

The Q9 builds on Audi's latest software platform, with the MMI panoramic display, refined voice control, and over-the-air updates. Connectivity through myAudi keeps the vehicle in sync with your phone for door control, climate preconditioning, and trip planning — with driver assistance features expected to support highway driving across the Capital Region.

The Q9 is built on Audi's new Platform Premium Combustion (PPC) hybrid architecture, ready for the road today while staying aligned with Audi's electrification roadmap. For winter across the Capital Region or summit climbs along the Adirondack foothills, quattro® all-wheel drive remains the cornerstone.

Audi Q9

Built for New York roads and Capital Region lifestyles.

From Latham's tree-lined neighborhoods to Saratoga Springs, Troy, and Schenectady, Capital Region drivers need a vehicle that handles every season. Available all-wheel drive, generous ground clearance, and a refined ride are engineered for highway miles, winter weather, and family weekends alike.
