We're already hearing good news from the sports car sector, as production of Audi's R8 has just been extended until March to meet the high demand for supercars with V10 engines, and at least we're hearing that the Audi RS 6 I really hope the Avant GT comes to America. That is, some of the 660 examples. Audi Sport also promised to continue mass producing high-performance station wagons.
Unfortunately, in North America, we all know that the only way to shake off some BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Cadillac customers is to offer them a proper flagship crossover. SUV. Well, the Ingolstadt-based company recently updated the Q7 for the second time. But that's still not enough when Americans walk around in classic Cadillac Escalade SUVs, Mercedes-Benz GLS models, and even the quirky BMW X7.
Don't worry, times are finally changing for Audi, and the company will finally be arriving (fashionably) late to the big premium crossover party with its upcoming Q9 flagship CUV. Combined with the refreshed Q7 and other platform siblings (VW Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus), the all-new first Q9 has an additional seat for his third row of appropriate adult size. It has an indoor space. The wheelbase is longer, adding several inches to overall length.
If rumors, spied prototypes and the realms of digital car content creators' imaginations are to be believed, Audi is also set to usher in the split headlight era. As for the latter, the good people here Autoya YouTube's information channel has satellite venues. AutoYa interiorand that's where all the (CGI) Q9 action happens in our latest video feature.
The channel's pixel masters spared no digital expense to make this Audi Q9 seem more closely related to the real deal going forward. However, take all of this with a grain of salt until all is revealed in the real world. Until then, organizers believe Audi will make his first Q9 6 inches (15 cm) longer than his Q7 so it can compete with the Mercedes GLS and BMW X7.
Additionally, our resident CGI experts painted a virtual Audi Q9 in different exterior colors as a virtual measure. But that's not all. We also get a glimpse of his unofficial high-tech cockpit. This cockpit features a large panel for the digital instrument cluster and central infotainment system screen, as well as an auxiliary display unit for the passengers. With so many gorgeous interior and exterior color options, you'll be spoiled for choice.
Alas, there is a question that bothers us. Even though there are already great choices between the clunky 2024 BMW Will it cost money? Escalade?
