Audi is preparing to add a new range-topping SUV to its lineup with the 2027 Audi Q9. Positioned as the brand’s full-size flagship and developed with the US market in mind, the model signals Audi’s push deeper into the large luxury SUV segment.

Pricing for the new Q9 is set to begin at $87,700. That starting figure places it firmly in premium territory, underscoring its role as Audi’s top SUV offering rather than an entry point into the brand.

The company plans to put the 2027 Audi Q9 on sale in the fourth quarter. While only limited details are available so far, the timing and pricing give a clear early picture of how Audi intends to launch the vehicle.

With its focus on US buyers and its status as a flagship model, the Q9 looks set to become an important addition to Audi’s SUV strategy. More complete specifications and market details will likely shape how it compares with other full-size luxury SUVs once the launch gets closer.
