A few days ago, we obtained a set of new Audi Q9 renderings from overseas media. The new car is positioned as a full-size SUV model, and will adopt the Audi family design language, the front face of the large size black grille with the sharp shape of the split headlight group on both sides, the overall is very imposing. It is reported that the car is expected to be officially unveiled within the year, and will compete with mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 after the future listing.
According to the rendering of this exposure and combined with the previous spy photos, the new Audi Q9 will adopt a family design language, with a large black intake grille on the front face and a split headlight group with sharp shapes on both sides, which is very imposing. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a newly designed front bracketing component, and the blackened air vent design on both sides with a central blackened grille is full of sporty atmosphere.
The side shape of the new car is relatively straight and full, which can provide ample space in the car. In addition, the wide wheel arches with five-spoke rims are dynamic. It is worth mentioning that the car also blackened the window frame and roof luggage rack, and added chrome trim strips to embellish it to further enhance its fashion sense.
In the rear part, the new Audi Q9 adopts a penetrating LED light group design, which is more recognizable after lighting. In addition, the roof spoiler with shark fin antenna and the wide rear surround at the bottom make the visual feeling extremely imposing. In the interior part, the new car is expected to adopt the Audi family design, equipped with a triple screen virtual cockpit system full of technology.
At the moment, information about the new car is limited. However, from the perspective of the positioning of the suspected Audi flagship SUV, its power system is likely to be equipped with the EA839 3.0T V6 engine used by the Audi Q8, and even the EA825 4.0T V8 engine, matching the 8AT gearbox, and some models will be adapted to the 48-volt mix system. In addition, considering the demand for energy saving and emission reduction and power, hybrid models will naturally not be absent.
In terms of the current Audi product lineup, no model of more than one million yuan can form a head-on competition with Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7, that is, in the large SUV market, Audi is still blank.
Even with the introduction of the digitally larger Q8 after Q7, the positioning of the coupe SUV does not seem to be able to hold up the banner of the Audi family's flagship SUV, just like the X6 after the X5. Nowadays, the new model is rushing to this market, and as a latecomer, it can also avoid the "small problems" of competitors in the design and development process and gain a competitive advantage.
