2027 Audi SQ9 Trims Comparison
Which 2027 SQ9 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The SQ9 could easily be thought of as a range-topping, high-performance trim level of the Audi Q9, but Audi doesn't think that way, so the SQ9 is a separate model. It also offers only one loaded trim level. There's not much to sample from the options list either, although the S sport package and its sport adaptive air suspension could be a smart upgrade if you're looking for the SQ9 to handle as well as it can accelerate. We'd also think twice about getting the second-row captain's chairs if you have small children. Their design makes it difficult to secure the top LATCH strap of child seats.
2027 SQ9 trim level differences
