Audi's Full-Size SUV Was Worth The Wait: Driven

Audi is finally entering the full-size luxury SUV segment in the U.S. with the new Q9, joined by a more enthusiast-tuned SQ9. The article says the brand has approached the segment with a fresh design direction, new Quattro all-wheel drive and new lighting and tech features. Both models were driven in the mountains of Colorado and the update comes with a range of seating options, offering six- or seven-seat configurations when they hit dealer lots next month. The Q9 and SQ9 share a new design language, including split LED daytime running lights and distinctive taillights. The article highlights large vertical-slat and shark-tooth grille designs, up to 23-inch wheels, and big brake setups. Inside, a 14.5-inch multimedia interface powers Audi’s latest software, described as usable but laggy, with automatic doors as standard.
