Audi India Sales and Market Performance
Audi India sold around 4,510 vehicles in 2025 as the luxury automobile market continued to experience changing market conditions. The company said the implementation of GST 2.0 helped improve customer confidence in the luxury car segment during the year.
The locally assembled Q3 is expected to strengthen Audi India’s product portfolio as the company prepares for its October 16 launch.
Audi Cars Get Price Hike in 2026
Audi India increased vehicle prices by up to 2 per cent from April 1, 2026. The price revision was applied across the company’s entire model range in India.
According to Audi, the increase was driven by higher input costs and currency fluctuations, which have contributed to an increase in the automaker’s overall expenses.
