Audi price hike: Why are Audi cars getting costlier?
According to the luxury carmaker, the price revision is being implemented due to rising input costs and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These factors have been impacting the cost of production and imports, prompting the company to make a marginal price correction across its lineup.
The announcement comes at a time when Audi is preparing to expand its performance lineup in India. The company is set to introduce the new Audi SQ8 in the country on March 17. The upcoming model will slot between the standard Q8 and the range-topping RS Q8 in Audi’s SUV portfolio.Bookings for the SQ8 have already commenced ahead of its launch, with customers required to pay a token amount of Rs 5 lakh to reserve the performance SUV. One of the key highlights of the model is its powerful V8 engine that produces 507 hp and 770 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
