Audi bets on the US market with flagship Q9 and SQ9 three-row SUVs

Audi unveiled the full-size Q9 and its SQ9 variant as its U.S.-centric flagship lineup, with prices from $89,095 for the Q9 and $119,395 for the SQ9. The three-row SUVs pair American-tuned powertrains—a 2.9L V6 (429 hp) and a 4.0L V8 (591 hp)—with tech like matrix adaptive headlights and a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant, underscoring Audi’s bid to win back U.S. luxury SUV buyers on performance, space, and technology. The launch comes as Audi seeks to offset tariff-related headwinds and a lack of U.S. manufacturing, a factor analysts say could limit margin despite the potential market uplift amid competition from BMW and Mercedes.
