Quick Answer: What a 2027 Audi Q9 Costs in Queens
Audi has published a starting MSRP of $87,700 for the 2027 Q9 Premium, and with Audi's $1,395 destination charge that comes to $89,095. For the Premium Plus and Prestige, Audi has not released prices; industry listings place them near $93,300 and $102,400 before destination, or about $94,695 and $103,795 with destination included, and those two figures should be confirmed with Audi Queens before you rely on them. New York adds a combined 8.875% sales tax for New York City residents, plus DMV registration and title fees and the annual state inspection. Current lease and finance programs live on the Audi Queens specials page, and this guide explains how the pieces fit together without printing any payment figures.
Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: $89,270 all in for the 2027 Q9 Premium. That total includes the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee) on top of a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $87,700; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment.
The anchors, and where each number comes from
With a brand-new model, it helps to separate what Audi has said from what others are reporting. The Premium's $87,700 starting MSRP comes straight from Audi, and it excludes destination, taxes, title, options, and dealer charges. The Premium Plus near $93,300 and the Prestige near $102,400 come from industry listings and have not been confirmed by Audi; if they hold, the three trims would sit about $5,600 and $9,100 apart. Audi's destination charge is $1,395 on every 2027 model. Adding it, the Premium reaches $89,095 ($87,700 plus $1,395), the Premium Plus lands near $94,695 ($93,300 plus $1,395), and the Prestige near $103,795 ($102,400 plus $1,395).
Because the numbers differ by exactly the destination charge depending on who prints them, the first question to ask about any quote is whether destination is already inside it. Third-party sites sometimes list the "starting at" price with destination folded in, while Audi's own figure leaves it out. Neither is wrong; they just are not comparable until you line them up.
What options will do to the sticker
Audi has not published option pricing for the Q9. The options it has described include a six-seat layout with power-adjustable second-row captain's chairs, sport seats plus with ventilation and massage, a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 4D sound, switchable-transparency panoramic glass, an illuminated Singleframe grille, digital Matrix LED headlights, USB-C Power Delivery ports in all three rows, 23-inch wheels, and an S line exterior on launch edition cars. Which of these attach to which trim, and for how much, is something the sales team can confirm against a build sheet as soon as the details are available.
The six-seat captain's chair layout is an option on the Q9.
What New York adds to the sticker
Sales tax comes first. In the five boroughs it is a combined 8.875%: 4% for the state, 4.5% for the city, and 0.375% for the metropolitan commuter transportation district. The rate follows your registration address, and a simple way to picture it is that every $10,000 of taxable price carries $887.50 of sales tax. Registration, title, and plate fees are paid to the DMV, and New York vehicles take an annual state inspection. New York does not charge an annual property tax on vehicles, so after the first year, recurring costs are insurance, registration renewal, fuel, and whatever falls outside Audi Signature Care's three-year, 30,000-mile coverage of scheduled maintenance. The dealer's documentation fee is itemized on the buyer's order, and a good habit is to ask for the full out-the-door sheet in writing.
Lease or buy: how to think about a flagship
A lease suits drivers who like to move into the newest equipment every few years and prefer a predictable monthly arrangement. A purchase suits those who plan to keep a seven-passenger SUV through a family's busiest years. Because the Q9 is all-new, there is no resale history for it yet, which is one reason some buyers lean toward a lease on a first-year model. New York collects sales tax on leases, and how it is collected depends on the structure of the lease, so ask the finance team to itemize it. No payment amounts are shown here, because lease and finance terms depend on credit approval, term length, mileage, money down, and the specific program in effect.

Trade-ins and the way the deal moves

Many Q9 shoppers will be trading in a three-row SUV or a smaller Audi, and the trade value is a large part of the monthly picture. Customer reviews describe a process that moves quickly. One buyer wrote: "I inquired about trading in my old Honda on Tuesday and was able to drive out with a new Audi on Thursday" (Shevonne Z.). Another described the tone of the whole transaction: "they were so honest and transparent. Made the whole experience very straightforward and stress free" (Mohamed S.). Both quotes describe other Audi purchases; no one has reviewed a Q9 yet, because the model has only begun to reach dealerships.
