Audi South Africa has taken the covers off the 1st generation Q9. This will now be their flagship SUV, offering three rows of luxury seating. Great news is diesel and petrol powertrains will be offered with some hybridization in the mix. It will compete with the likes of the BMW X7 and the Mercedes Benz GLS.
