The 2027 Audi Q9 configurator is already live, allowing buyers to customize their full-size luxury SUV. We maxed out the configurator to see how expensive it can get. Mere days after its world premiere, the build tool for the full-size SUV is already live on the official website. There’s a good reason for that, as the belated rival to the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS is perhaps the most US-centric product ever to carry the Four Rings.
North America will be by far its most important market, as Europeans don’t have quite the same appetite for these large SUVs. In the U.S., $41,150 separates the base Q9 from the fully loaded SQ9. That’s about as much as an A3, the cheapest car Audi sells. Pricing starts at $89,095 for the base model, rising to $119,395 for the V8-powered SQ9.
View Price on AmazonSince it didn’t cost us anything to tick all the boxes on the options list, we maxed out the configurator, resulting in an MSRP of $130,245 with destination and handling fees included. Whether you’re buying a Q9 or the SQ9, Audi doesn’t charge extra for the body colors. Carrara White, Mythos Black, Alopias Blue, Glacier White, Agave Green, Waitomo Blue, Midnight Green, and Daytona Gray (pearl effect) are all no-cost options.
The SQ9 gets 22-inch wheels as standard, but our build has the larger 23-inch set available for an extra $2,500. These are available with a two-tone look or in an all-black finish. The dark wheels are part of the $1,000 Black Optic Package, which also comes with black roof rails, dark chrome exhaust tips, and anthracite gray Audi rings. We splurged another $1,200 of our virtual money on the S Sport Package for the red brake calipers and sport adaptive suspension.
The most expensive option is the $4,750 Luxury Package, which encompasses automatic doors, an illuminated grille, eight-way customizable daytime running lights, curved OLED taillights, a black headliner, and an air quality package. For another $450, Audi throws in the captain’s chairs, turning the SQ9 into a six-seater with individual second-row seats and armrests. Rounding off the list of options, a Bang & Olufsen sound system crams 22 speakers and two seat actuators into the cabin for $950.
