Audi Q3 2.0 TDi prices hiked

Audi has announced a hike in prices of its entry-level offering, the Q3. Due to the fluctuating value of the rupee and the economic uncertainties, Audi apparently had to increase the price of the Q3 2.0 TDi High-grade and Base-grade by one to two percent. The price hike will be effective from October 1, 2012 across the 21 showrooms that mark Audi’s presence in India. The Q3 currently sells at Rs 26.21 lakh and Rs 31.49 lakh for the Base-grade and High-grade respectively. These prices will hit the Rs 26.47 lakh and Rs 31.8 lakh marks in the first week of October 2012.

“Due to economic upheavals and rupee devaluation, we have increased the price by 1 to 2 percent on both the high grade and base grade version of Audi Q3 2.0 TDI. However, we are still confident of achieving our sales target of 8000 cars at the end of 2012 and Audi Q3 will contribute significantly towards achieving this target”, said Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
