Audi SQ9 Hits the Nürburgring for Testing

Audi’s upcoming SQ9 was recently spotted cruising around the Nürburgring track facility, as Audi continues testing their largest vehicle yet.

Designed to rival the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS, the SQ9 is expected to feature a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, delivering between 500 and 600 horsepower. Combined with Audi’s adaptive air suspension and Quattro all-wheel drive, the SQ9 aims to provide a balance of performance and comfort that the S models are known for. Exterior design shows a longer wheelbase and increased rear overhang compared to the Q7, offering more interior space and a commanding road presence.

The front end design is expected to include a large hexagonal grille, split headlights, and a full-width LED light bar at the rear. The official debut of the Audi SQ9 is anticipated in 2025, with sales commencing shortly thereafter.​ Check out the full spy shot gallery below!
