For those considering the purchase of an Audi, time is of the essence. The renowned sports and luxury automaker, Audi India, has revealed a forthcoming price increase spanning its entire model lineup. The ex-showroom prices will see an up to 2% hike, effective from January 1, 2024, in response to escalating input costs.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India said, “Achieving profitability through a sustainable business model remains a critical part of Audi India’s strategy, and we are committed to providing the best to our customers. Due to rising supply-chain-related input and operational costs, we have effected a price correction across our model range, maintaining the brand’s premium price positioning."

He added, "The price correction aims to ensure sustainable growth for Audi India and our dealer partners, and we will ensure that the price hike's impact is as minimal as possible for customers.”
