Chapters
[00:02]
Audi Q9 Introduction
The 2027 Audi Q9 is introduced as Audi's first-ever full-size SUV, described as completely brand new.
[00:16]
Turn Signal Projection
Activating the turn signal projects an arrow pattern onto the ground next to the car, showing the direction of the turn, visible both at the front and rear.
[00:31]
Daytime Visibility and Safety
The projected arrow is most effective at night in crowded urban areas, potentially helping pedestrians and cyclists understand the car's intended direction, which could be life-saving.
[00:46]
Hazard Light Triangle
When hazard lights are activated, the tail lights change shape to form a warning triangle, reverting to normal tail lights when hazards are turned off.
[01:17]
Digital Matrix Headlights
The car features digital matrix headlights that sense oncoming vehicles and darken only the area where the other car is located, while keeping the rest of the road brightly lit in high beams, preventing glare for the other driver.
The Audi Q9 introduces advanced lighting features that enhance safety and visibility, particularly at night, marking a significant step in automotive lighting technology.

Selective High Beam Dimming
This technology solves the classic dilemma of high beams vs. oncoming traffic, improving night driving safety without compromising visibility.
01:17Full Transcript
[00:02] before. It's completely brand new. This is the new 2027 Audi Q9, and it's Audi's first ever full-size SUV. Check this out. When you put on your turn signal,
[00:16] out. When you put on your turn signal, it also projects this arrow pattern onto the ground next to the car. You can see in back right here showing the direction the car is turning, and the arrow image also appears up front. Now, Audi tells
[00:31] going to really be visible in daytime, but at night, in a crowded city with pedestrians or cyclists, that arrow image could be really helpful, potentially even life-saving, projecting onto the ground showing the direction
[00:46] the car intends to turn. That's pretty cool. And how about this? You put on the hazard lights, and you can see they go on, but also the tail lights change on, but also the tail lights change their shape to show a triangle, like a
[00:59] warning triangle that you'd put out when your hazard lights are on. Suddenly, turn off the hazard lights, they go back to being normal tail lights again. But, undoubtedly, the coolest lighting effect in this car is Audi's new digital matrix
[01:17] headlight technology. Basically, the way it works is you're driving on a dark country road, you have your high beams on, and another car comes toward you. Instead of dimming your lights, turning them down, the headlight can sense the
[01:30] position of the car and darken the light only where the car coming towards you is located, but everything else stays brightly lit in high beams. But, you're simultaneously not blinding the driver coming. It's wonderful that it's finally
[01:46] here and in this vehicle. A fantastic feature.
