Audi Q9 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

Audi delivered 1.6 million cars worldwide in 2025, and the Q9 sits above everything else in that range as the brand's first genuine full-size SUV. Audi describes the interior as a sanctuary for family, business, and long journeys, and that ambition shows through in details like individually adjustable electric seats in the second row and the largest panoramic sunroof ever fitted to an Audi. It went on sale in the UK in August 2026, offered in Edition 1 and Vorsprung trims, and suits large families and drivers who want to be driven as much as they want to drive.

The Q9 shares its underlying platform with the smaller Q7, but its size and equipment set it apart. It introduces several genuine firsts for Audi, including curved digital OLED rear lights that wrap around the body's contours, Digital Matrix LED headlights with a micro-LED module for sharper beam control, and automatic doors that open and close themselves. That combination of space and technology gives drivers on an Audi Q9 business lease a genuine flagship for client-facing or chauffeur-driven work, while its seven-seat luxury suits personal customers on an Audi Q9 personal lease who want more than a mid-size SUV can offer.

- Body Type: SUV

- Fuel Type: Diesel

- Fuel Economy: Up to 36.2mpg (WLTP)

Key Specifications

Audi Q9 trims include Edition 1 and Vorsprung:

- Edition 1: Entry point to the range and comes on 22-inch alloy wheels, with adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering fitted as standard. A panoramic sunroof with switchable transparency is included, and the front sport seats plus, trimmed in Fine Nappa leather, add memory, ventilation, and massage functions. All three rows are heated across the standard seven-seat layout.

- Vorsprung: Steps up to 23-inch wheels and swaps Edition 1's matrix LED headlights for digital matrix LED units, alongside curved digital OLED rear lights, a world first for the segment. It adds automatic doors, Park Assist Pro, and surround-view cameras, and upgrades the standard Bang & Olufsen sound system to the full 4D setup with 22 speakers and seat actuators.

A range of factory options are available. These include auxiliary heating and ventilation for pre-conditioning the cabin remotely, a factory-fitted dash cam, an electrically swivelling tow bar, and 5-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning.

Available on Vorsprung from 2027, the Lounge Pack swaps the standard seven-seat layout for a six-seat configuration with second-row executive chairs, separated by a leather-covered, heated centre console. The second-row seats gain ventilation and massage functions, and electric blinds are also included. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Engine & Performance

The Q9 launches in the UK with a single diesel powertrain, a choice that stands out at a time when most rivals are leading with hybrid or electric options. A plug-in hybrid is planned for other European markets, though it isn't confirmed for the UK yet. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel produces 299bhp and 630Nm of torque, paired with Audi's MHEV+ mild-hybrid system, which adds up to 24bhp when pulling away or overtaking and allows short stretches of engine-off electric driving. An electrically powered compressor supplements the twin-turbocharging, building boost pressure in as little as 1.2 seconds to sharpen throttle response.

Power reaches all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and permanent quattro all-wheel drive, standard across both trims. 0-62mph takes 6.5 seconds, and combined economy is up 36.2mpg on the WLTP cycle, with CO2 emissions of 206g/km.

Adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering are also standard. The rear wheels can steer by up to 5 degrees, turning against the front wheels in car parks to tighten the turning circle, and with them at higher speeds for stability, while the car can also lower by up to 62mm for easier entry and exit.

Exterior Features

Audi's Singleframe grille dominates the Q9's front end, integrated into a seamless black mask alongside the headlights. UK cars get a honeycomb grille pattern, matching the recently updated Q7, rather than the vertical-slat design shown on international show cars. Edition 1 comes with S line styling and black detailing as standard, alongside matrix LED headlights, while Vorsprung steps up to digital Matrix LED headlights with a micro-LED module for sharper beam control and a distinctive light signature.

At the rear, Vorsprung adds curved digital OLED rear lights, a world first for the segment. The outer panel follows the contours of the body rather than sitting flat, and is the largest single light panel ever fitted to an Audi. A continuous LED strip connects the two rear lights via an illuminated set of Audi rings, and the number plate sits lower in the bumper rather than between the lights.

Edition 1 rides on 22-inch alloy wheels, rising to 23-inch wheels on Vorsprung. At 5.31 metres long and 2.21 metres wide with mirrors, the Q9 is the largest car Audi has ever built, with a panoramic sunroof fitted as standard across both trims, including switchable transparency to turn the glass opaque at the touch of a button. A factory-fit tow bar is also available as an option.

Interior Features

The cabin is built around Audi's curved MMI panoramic display, combining a 12.3-inch virtual cockpit with a 14.5-inch central touchscreen, alongside a 12.3-inch front passenger display fitted as standard. The passenger screen uses a privacy mode so video content can't be seen from the driver's seat while moving. A continuous LED light strip runs the width of the interior as part of the ambient lighting, syncing with functions like the welcome sequence and turn signals.

Edition 1 comes with front sport seats plus in Fine Nappa leather, adding memory, ventilation, and massage functions, alongside Dinamica microfibre headlining. Vorsprung builds on this with further premium materials across the range, including options that extend to wool and alpaca fibre upholstery, real wood and carbon-weave trim, and new colourways such as tamarind brown and stone beige. All three rows are heated as standard, and the second row is power-adjustable, with an easy-entry function that slides the outer seats forward electrically to reach the third row without removing a fitted child seat.

Storage includes dual wireless phone charging pads in the centre console, alongside wired USB-C fast charging throughout the cabin, and cup holders sized for larger drinks bottles and tumblers. The boot holds 850 litres behind the second row, rising to 2,308 litres with the rear seats folded, and includes a standard aluminium rail system for securing loose items, plus a roof rack for the standard roof rails.

Safety Features

The Q9 is too new to have a Euro NCAP rating yet, and Audi hasn't confirmed a test date.

Automatic emergency braking works front and rear, with pedestrian and cyclist detection, alongside blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree camera system for parking and manoeuvring. Exit warning uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect approaching cyclists or vehicles, preventing a door from opening into a potential collision and displaying a warning through the tail lights, a feature aimed particularly at rear passengers who can't see an approaching hazard themselves.

Lane departure warning offers two modes, alerting the driver with steering wheel vibration in light traffic or applying automatic steering corrections when leaving the lane in busier conditions. Emergency assist can steer the Q9 onto the hard shoulder and bring it to a controlled stop if the driver becomes unresponsive, triggering an emergency call after a few seconds of inactivity. Vorsprung adds Park Assist Pro, with remote parking functionality, and 3D surround-view cameras on top of Edition 1's standard set-up.

Looking for something similar?

Similar models to our Audi Q9 lease deals include:

- BMW X7: The most established name in this segment, offered with mild-hybrid petrol, diesel, and a V8 M60i flagship, starting from £80,890. It suits drivers who want a wider spread of trims and price points, rather than the Q9's more curated two-trim range.

- Range Rover: Arguably one to beat in this segment, with genuine off-road ability and a plug-in hybrid option offering up to around 74 miles of electric range. Long wheelbase versions match the Q9's seven-seat flexibility, and it suits drivers who want the choice of a plug-in hybrid alongside the most recognised name in luxury SUVs.

- Mercedes-Benz GLS: The closest direct rival in both position and price, arriving in the UK from mid-2026 with a similar diesel mild-hybrid engine and a comparable starting price to the Q9. It suits drivers who want Mercedes' more traditional take on luxury, built around a triple-screen MBUX interior.
