Q9 Progressiv or Technik: What Are the Differences?

The 2027 Audi Q9 is offered in Progressiv and Technik trims, which share the same powertrain but differ mainly in their level of equipment. The Progressiv carries a MSRP of $123,300, while the Technik starts at $133,500, a difference of $10,200.

The Q9 Progressiv is already generously equipped, with ventilated front sport seats, four-zone climate control, heated front and second-row seats, and a Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D sound system. It also gets LED taillights with dynamic turn signals.

The Q9 Technik adds several comfort- and technology-focused features. It adds all-wheel steering, curved digital OLED taillights, five-zone automatic comfort climate control and an air quality package. The front seats add massage functionality in addition to ventilation, while heating extends to the third row.

The Technik also enhances the multimedia experience with a 1,360-watt, 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen 4D sound system, which includes speakers built into the headrests and seatbelts. It also adds 3D and 360-degree surround-view camera systems.

2027 Q9 Engine, Power and Performance

The 2027 Q9 is powered by a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 producing 429 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and standard quattro all-wheel drive. Despite measuring more than 5.3 metres long, the Q9 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds.

6 or 7 Seats: Interior Space, Cargo and Family Comfort

2027 Audi SQ9: The 591-hp V8 at the Top of the Lineup

The SQ9 raises the bar with a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, bringing the 0-100 km/h time down to 4.0 seconds despite a curb weight of over 2,500 kg. Two key features distinguish the SQ9 from the Q9: adaptive air suspension with S-specific tuning, and the four exhaust outlets unique to the performance version.

The Q9 comes standard with seven seats. A six-seat configuration, with two power-adjustable second-row captain’s chairs, is available for an extra $800. Compared to the redesigned Q7, the Q9 has a 5-inch-longer wheelbase, an overall length that’s 10 inches greater, and 4 cu. ft. of additional cargo space behind the raised third row.

Up to 2,483 L of Cargo Space and 7,700 lb of Towing Capacity

• Up to 2,483 L (87.7 cu. ft.) of cargo space with the second and third rows folded down, enough cargo room for a small move or a full set of camping gear.
• Maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lb for the Q9 and SQ9, when fitted with the optional tow hitch, enough to pull a boat or a mid-size horse trailer.

Design and Technology: What Sets Audi’s New Flagship Apart

The Q9 introduces several firsts for the brand:

• Power doors that can be operated from a mobile app.
• The largest panoramic roof ever offered by Audi, at 1.5 m².
• Digital OLED taillights with a curved signature.
• A 12.3-inch MMI screen dedicated to the front passenger, standard equipment, another first for the brand.

Audi Q9 vs. Q7: Who Is This New Full-Size SUV For?

The redesigned Q7 remains the most compact and most affordable three-row SUV in the Audi lineup, while the Q9 is aimed at families who need more space: a 5-inch longer wheelbase, 10 inches of added overall length and 4 cu. ft. of extra cargo room behind the third row. Current Q7 or Audi Q8 owners who find themselves short on space for long family trips will find a solid reason to move up to the Q9.

When Will the 2027 Audi Q9 Arrive in Canada?

The configurator for the 2027 Q9 and SQ9 is now live on the Audi Canada website, which means orders can now be placed. Since no specific delivery date has been publicly confirmed by Audi Canada at the time of writing, an Audi Lauzon advisor can confirm the latest delivery timeline for your chosen trim and configuration.
