we are at Audi with the all new Audi SQ9. And of course, we have to sing this in as we are at Audi. I needed a minute, but I really think this is a beautiful SQ9. It competes against the GLS and I think it is also worth it to look at the market trend. Where is the market going? And I really have this nostalgia feeling by looking at the side mirror caps. It reminds me to the SQ5 and the SQ7 from back in the days. We have amazing illumination in the front. And you did notice that we have orange lights at the sides because this is a US market vehicle. The SQ9 will only be available in the United States. And let’s hope it will also come to Europe. It has this huge front with the S line. There it says S in red. Impressive. Very bold statement. So, if you press and hold the unlock button, all the doors will open. Another gimmick I have to mention is the Audi logo right here, the rim. You can just move it and this will stay upright all the time. Also when driving. Design-wise, we have a forward-moving front. The opposite of the shark nose. Talking about the market trends, at Audi now for a longer time, you can change the patterns in the headlights. Right there in the display. So, right here we have these two areas with a line. You can change it. I will show you that a little later on. This is the SQ9. Based on the Q9 family. Right here we have the Q9, not the SQ9. And it is total different. In the front, we have no vertical slats with the black panel around the grill, making it more elegant. This will be available in Europe. The SQ9 is only for US. Maybe it will change later on. Let’s have a closer look at the front in more detail. It has similar design language as all the
manufacturers. Let me know in the comments section below of which manufacturer are you thinking. It has vertical lines design-wise, also more vertical headlights. And you have the black panel around the grill. Let me know in the comments section below which one would you choose when it comes purely to aesthetics, the SQ9 or the Q9. The length is enormous, 5 m and 32 cm. The wheelbase is already 3 cm 3 m and something. We have the S exhaust pipes. You can also get them in black in a different package. and we have the new tail lights. So, they have beautiful patterns once you unlock the vehicle. There it is. So, let’s have a look at what is in the trunk. I will just push the button over here. And there are the whole trunk opens and we notice it has a third row. These seats are the executive seats, so you have an area in between so you can walk all the way to the third row. And of course you have your electric buttons on the side to fold down the seats. Amazing. And like this there is just enormous amount of trunk space. Also amazing is you see now new illumination on the ground. So, it basically tells me to put my foot on the So, let’s do that. And there are the trunk will close. Also for the indicators, the blinkers, it will show on the ground that you want to take a left turn or right. Amazing. Also what is new in the market at the Audi is that if you long press the unlock button for around 5 seconds that all the doors will open. Let me do that again. I have to be a little bit closer. There they open. Also on the other side. And of course you can program that only one door opens or all of them. And that gives us the opportunity to have a look at the interior with also here at Audi a passenger screen. The driver screen however is more towards the driver focused. And we do not have any more the gearbox down here. Now it is behind the steering wheel. Which makes more sense if you think about the free space it allows. So, I will push the brake, then the door automatically closes. And let’s press the button for the electronics to work where we notice very horizontal line design. I will just start the engine. We have a V8 with 591 horsepower. Amazing. I will just turn off the engine since it starts making sound because this is the US version. It tells me to buckle up. We have to close all the doors and then press the button so that there is no more beeping sound. It should go away soon. And now we can check out the interior in more detail. We have the Audi signs also illumination on the front window. There we have Audi illumination in the front. And I just press the button for all the electronics to work. And then we can have a closer look here at the steering wheel with horizontal lines design. You also notice these horizontal lines in the seats. There is a two-layer design as I was told with the screens, a lower layer, and the air vents which is separate. Also on that side. So, we have screens over here. You can just go to the home vehicle button. Change the drive select. Have a look at the vehicle from a distance. Then there is the parking camera. So, if you press the parking camera down here, you have 360° bird view. Then you can have a look at the top with the panoramic roof and the front, of course. Amazing. So, let’s try the hazard lights. You see them also on the screen. And the passenger screen, it will be blacked out for the driver, so the passenger can still operate it, but the driver can’t see it. Then we have these navigation cameras over here. It’s an interesting location. This all connected here with the gear selector. So, let’s press the button to start the V8. And if you steer, the black panel behind the steering wheel stays in location. So, this is the selector for the gears. To exit the vehicle, you just press this button, and it opens all the way. To close it, you slightly pull it or press the brake. And there it comes. So, there is no more normal door handle, as you can see, only this button that is mechanical. So, very new now is that when you indicate, it will show on the ground. Let me close the door. It will show on the front left and the rear left. I can use the right indicators and the left indicators. So, let’s have a look at the second row. The door is huge because the wheelbase is more than 3 m. I will just open the door like this. It goes automatically
forward and then we notice enough legroom for the second row passengers. Also, the same design for the seats with a horizontal line. Especially amazing with the ambient lighting inside and check out the ceiling. This is the largest ceiling that Audi has ever offered. It does open fully and also it tilts. Great view for the passengers in any sitting position. So, you can move the second row forward by just pressing these buttons on the side. The second row will move forward very fast in position. So, now it is easy to enter third row. It looks like this. We have storage area, cup holders, four-zone climate control right here in the back. The focus is really on the driver even though it has a passenger screen next to it. So, driver-orientated seating position. Soft-closing doors, of course. And these are the tail lights with Audi illumination. So, let me know, guys, in the comment section below, what do you think about the Audi SQ9? In the back we have the same, so you can just press the button and it will automatically close. I notice we have Alcantara at the pillars. Nice materials. The ceiling is also in Alcantara and the panoramic roof with small Audi-like monograms. You can tilt the roof and also open it just like the panoramic roof opens. Then we have USB-C connectivity slots. A nice area over here with a higher center tunnel that you have your cup holders and storage space. Let’s have a look at what is under the bonnet of this SQ9. And I’m curious why it is not yet available here in Europe. Have to find the release. There it is. Well, this might be the reason. The V8. Interesting. But let me close it again. It has 591 horsepower, 441 kilowatts. From 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in only 4 seconds. That’s impressive. Says here Audi and SQ9. Soft closing doors, of course. So guys, thanks for 2027 Byd Shark 7
