2023 Audi Q9 is coming soon

After last month’s presentation of the Audi Q6, the Ingolstadt-based company announced the arrival of a new SUV model, the Audi Q9, as well as a new version of the existing models. The new model should be a competitor to the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS.

The Audi Q9 will hit the market in the next three years, and could be the last with an internal combustion engine before Audi becomes an all-electric brand. When it comes to other SUV models, the Audi Q8 could get a hybrid version next year, while refreshes are also expected for the Q3, Q5 and Q7 models.

Fulfilling the goal of complete electrification, for the next few years Audi has announced the arrival of several new fully electric models such as the Q4 E-tron, A6 E-tron, Artemis project EV.

As for the rest of Audi’s range, the A3, A4, A5 and A7 could get new design solutions, A6 driver assistance technology and a mild hybrid engine, while the A8 will remain the same. The destiny of the Audi TT is questionable, since the company has not announced a new generation, nor electrification. Also, the Audi R8 will soon become electric, which means that the V10 engine will become a thing of the past.
