Reason for the price hike

“At Audi India, we strive to give our customers the best, but the rise in custom duty and input costs have compelled us to amend our prices upwards. While we have tried to absorb the impact at various levels, the current situation necessitates an increase in price.” – Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India.

This is the second time that Audi has hiked its prices in 2023; the first hike was back in January.

All prices are ex-showroom, pan-India.
