Audi India Announces Price Hike on New Cars Starting January 1

Effective January 1, 2025, Audi India will implement a price increase of up to 3% across its car and SUV lineup. The adjustment comes shortly after rival German automakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz announced similar hikes for the new year.

Audi’s India portfolio features locally assembled models such as the A4 and A6 sedans, along with the Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, and Q7 SUVs. Additionally, the brand imports premium offerings like the A5 Sportback, the Q8, and its electric range, including the e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT.

Audi recently introduced the updated Q7 in India, priced at Rs 88.66 lakh for the Premium Plus variant and Rs 97.81 lakh for the Technology variant (both ex-showroom, introductory prices). The luxury SUV showcases a redesigned front fascia with a bold vertical grille featuring a striking pattern and silver accents, giving it a modern and aggressive appearance. Additionally, the refreshed Q7 offers upgraded interiors and advanced features, solidifying its position as a strong contender in the premium SUV segment.

The new Audi Q7 is powered by a robust 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine with 48V mild-hybrid technology, producing 340hp and 500Nm of torque. This luxury SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h. Its performance is enhanced by an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission for seamless gear shifts and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system, offering superior traction and stability. Additionally, the Q7 comes with adaptive air suspension and seven driving modes via Audi Drive Select, including an off-road mode, delivering a versatile and customized driving experience across various terrains.

Audi Q7 comes equipped with a robust safety package, featuring eight airbags for enhanced occupant protection and a Lane Departure Warning system to help avoid unintended lane changes. It also includes an Electronic Stabilization Program to ensure better vehicle control and stability. Audi provides added assurance with a 2-year standard warranty, 10 years of complimentary Roadside Assistance, and the option to extend the warranty up to 7 years. Furthermore, the Q7 is backed by a 7-year periodic maintenance package, offering a seamless and worry-free ownership experience.
