An additional technological highlight are the advanced turn signals: when turning or changing lanes at night, they project a stylized turn signal onto the ground in sync with the dynamic turn signals at the front and rear. This is more visible to other road users and significantly increases safety.At launch in Germany, a 220 kW V6 diesel engine will be available in Germany (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 8.0%u20137.4 (29.4%u201331.8 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 209%u2013194 (336.4%u2013312.2 g/mi); CO2 class: G). A 180 kW version will also be offered in selected markets. The 220 kW version delivers 630 Nm of torque, while the 180 kW version delivers 500 Nm. The V6 TDI features an electric-powered compressor (EPC %u2014 7.5 kW peak power, 3.5 kW continuous power). To enhance efficiency and acceleration, both power levels use an MHEV plus system, comprising a powertrain generator refined for the Q92, a belt alternator starter, and a lithium iron phosphate battery.For the U.S. market, the Q92 is equipped with a three-liter V6 turbocharged gasoline engine. All V6 engines come standard with quattro permanent all-wheel drive with a center differential. The SQ91, which Audi will offer in selected markets %u2014 including the U.S. and Canada %u2014 is powered by a revised 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine producing 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates the model from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. Power is transmitted in the SQ91 via a new rear-biased quattro allwheel drive with a controlled rear differential lock, which, in combination with mixed-size tires (maximum sizes: 285 in the front, 315 in the rear), ensures particularly dynamic handling. The Q9* and SQ91 feature adaptive air suspension and rear-axle steering as standard. Both large fullsize SUVs can tow up to 3,500 kg. The Q9 family therefore meets the key requirements of North American customers.The Q9 model family is manufactured at the Volkswagen Group plant in Bratislava. The plant in the capital of Slovakia has more than 20 years of experience producing large SUVs. It has been manufacturing the Audi Q7 since the end of 2005 and the Audi Q8 since 2018. Covering more than two million square meters, the stateof-the-art manufacturing facilities ensure the highest levels of precision and efficiency.Audi%u2019s success story in the U.S. spans more than half a century. In 1969, the company introduced the Audi 100 to the American market, causing a sensation with its efficient drive and advanced aerodynamics. The brand's ultimate breakthrough came in the 1980s with the globally successful quattro all-wheel drive. Among the country%u2019s most successful models are the A5, the Q5, and, more recently, the fully electric Q4 e-tron. Starting in mid-2026, the Q9 model family will continue Audi%u2019s legacy of successful cars in the U.S.
