What's new
Audi has launched a full-size luxury SUV called the Q9 in the USA, and India is expected to get it in 2027. Autocar India drove the car in Utah. Road & Track also tested it. The Q9 sits above the Q7 in Audi's lineup and rivals the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7.
Why it matters
For Indian buyers, the Q9 signals that Audi plans a larger three-row option in a segment that is growing. Buyers who want a big family SUV with a luxury badge will have another choice. Its price in India has not been reported yet.
What others say

The reviewer also says the car misses some technology that rivals offer and that the third row could be roomier. Road & Track calls the Q9 quite good to drive and says it fills a gap in Audi's SUV range.
What we don't know yet
The sources do not give an Indian price. They also do not confirm the exact launch date or the engine lineup beyond saying there will be no diesel option for India.
