2028 Audi Q9 - Everything We Know So Far About Audi's New Flagship Luxury SUV

I've been reading some leaks about potential pricing starting around $85-90k for the base model. That seems reasonable given the segment and feature set. The top trim could easily push past $120k though.

See, that's another problem. At that price point, you're competing directly with established models that have proven track records. It's a risky move for Audi, and I'm not sure they can justify the Q9's existence at those numbers.

The LED lighting technology sounds amazing. I love how German luxury brands are pushing boundaries with lighting design. Hopefully the Q9 has something special that sets it apart visually.

I'm genuinely interested in the real-world fuel economy numbers and charging times if there's a plug-in hybrid. EPA ratings are one thing, but actual user data will be critical for deciding if this is worth it.

The modular platform architecture is the real winner here. Audi's engineering on the MQB platform has been solid, so I'm confident this will handle well despite the size. That's actually what I'm most excited about - the driving dynamics.

I'm skeptical about the design direction honestly. The Q8 already looks so aggressive and modern. I'm worried the Q9 might look bloated or overdone. Audi needs to be careful about balancing size with elegance.

Has anyone heard about availability timelines? I'm curious if we're looking at 2028 as a model year release or if there might be delays. German luxury brands can be unpredictable with launches.

Looking at the expected specs, the cargo capacity should be competitive. I'm hoping for at least 90+ cubic feet with all seats folded. That's essential for this segment. Who else uses their SUV for hauling regularly?
