Unless you’ve been living under a rock, completely isolated from new car news, then you know that Honda has a in its lineup. The model debuted last year, previewed by a concept shown in Japan in 2023, and entered production in August 2025. Despite the sportier-looking skin, it is not that sporty, because it shares its nuts and bolts with the eleventh-generation Honda Civic.

The Lyriq may have entered the 2027 model year in the first half of June, but Cadillac took its time before launching the online configurator in our market. But the tool is now ready and online on the company’s official website, allowing interested parties to specify theirs with only a few mouse clicks (or screen taps).

It’s not only the regular Q9 that Audi just unveiled but also its sporty version, the SQ9, which sits at the very top of the lineup, battling the high-end versions of the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS. We will start with one of the most important features of the full-size SUV with sporty credentials, and that would be the engine. The company says that a revised 4-liter V8 twin-turbo unit rests under the hood, and it is good for 591 horsepower (600 ps/441 kW) and 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) of torque.
