The brand also recently increased the prices of the Audi Q8 Celebration, Audi RS5 and Audi S5 by up to 2.4 per cent. Commenting on the price hike, Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, said, "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.

In fact, the Audi Q3 is the brand’s latest offering on our shores. It is based on the Audi Q3, but gets a coupe-ish roofline, making it look bold.
