Audi India has announced a price hike of up to two per cent across its entire lineup, effective May 15. The German luxury carmaker cited increasing input costs and currency fluctuations as key reasons behind the decision, according to a report byHT Auto.
Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, commented on the development: “We are implementing a price adjustment of up to 2 per cent due to increase in the exchange rate and input cost. This correction is essential for Audi India and our dealer partners to ensure sustainable growth. We remain committed to minimising the impact of the price hike on our valued customers.”
The brand’s current lineup in India includes popular models such as the A4, A6, Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, Q8, S5 Sportback, RS Q8, as well as electric offerings like the Q8 e-tron, Q8 Sportback e-tron, e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT.
