Positioned above both the Q7 and Q8, it established a new flagship within Audi's SUV portfolio while introducing the first production model to carry the number 9.
While Audi has offered high-performance versions of the Q5, Q7 and Q8 for many years, the SQ9 became the company's first S model developed specifically around the requirements of the full-size luxury SUV market.
Positioned above the Q7 and Q8, it introduces three-row seating for up to seven occupants, an available six-seat configuration with second-row captain’s chairs and the largest passenger and cargo dimensions offered in a production Audi at launch.
