Audi and Porsche are preparing an even larger SUV.

Although the seven-seat Audi Q7 may be impressive, its interior does not rival that of the BMW X7 or the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Rumors are circulating about a three-row SUV from Porsche and Audi, adding spice to the competition.

Strong Trends

Three-row SUVs, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, are not the best-selling, but they are crucial for certain brands that focus on profit margins. Audi, aware of the competition, has been working on the Q9 for several years. Rumors and spy images suggest that the official announcement is imminent. A robust electric model could compete with the G-Class and the Defender. Porsche, a member of the VW group, is preparing a family electric SUV. Although little information is available, it seems to be an interesting challenge for the sports brand, already known for its Cayenne.

The Quest for the Holy Grail: Space and Elegance

While some fear that the Q9 will be nothing more than a fancy VW Atlas, indications point to an elegant six or seven-seat SUV, taking notes from the success of the Bentley Bentayga. Dealers are already informed, hinting at an imminent presentation. Porsche, after shocking purists with an SUV, could take on a new challenge with a large electric SUV. The details about this model are still secret, but Porsche enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting further developments.
