Audi is the latest German luxury carmaker to announce a price hike on its models for the Indian market. The brand has decided to increase prices of all its models by up to 3 percent. The price hike will come into effect from January 01, 2025 onwards. Like its competitors, the official reason stated by Audi for the latest price adjustment is the rise in input cost.

On this latest development, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, said, “We are implementing a price adjustment of up to 3% effective from 1st January 2025 due to rising input costs. This correction is essential for Audi India and our dealer partners to ensure sustainable growth. We remain committed to minimising the impact of the price hike on our valued customers.”
