Q9 has been approved for South Africa and will make local market landfall in 2027. Having been on the cards for more than eight years, Audi officially revealed its long awaited all-new Q9 in the early hours of Wednesday morning (29 July). Similar to its sibling, the Q9 seats seven, but for the first time in any Audi SUV, can be equipped with six seats utilising a pair of captain’s style chairs in the second row. Kept, though, is the illuminated Audi four rings logo and the full-width LED bar that runs underneath the light clusters. Q9 will have seven seats as standard, but with the option of a six-seat configuration for the first time.
