The side profile shows the long <strong>wheelbase<\/strong>, large wheels, <strong>panoramic sunroof<\/strong>, and what looks like <strong>retractable door handles<\/strong>. At the rear end we see <strong>four exhaust tailpipes<\/strong> or tips, suggesting that this is a more <strong>performance-focused<\/strong> model, possibly to be labelled <strong>S Q9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of performance, the Q9 seems to be using an engine for <strong>propulsion<\/strong>. It would not be completely run by that <strong>powertrain<\/strong>, as some kind of <strong>hybrid<\/strong> system will be attached. Nevertheless, we expect a <strong>V-shaped<\/strong> engine under the <strong>bonnet<\/strong>. The Q9 seems far ahead in terms of its development, as these <strong>spy pictures<\/strong> were taken at Germany\u2019s <strong>Nurburgring Nordschleife<\/strong>. As such, we believe it will launch in the European market in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turns out Audi is working on a bigger car than the Q7.
