Audi India will raise the prices of select models in the country. The price hike will be applicable from May 1, 2023. In our market, the luxury carmaker will increase the price of the Audi Q3 and Q3 Sportback by up to 1.6%. Recently, the carmaker raised the prices of the Audi Q8 Celebration, RS5, and S5 by up to 2.4%. According to market reports, India is one of the countries to experience consistent price hikes. Almost every carmaker goes through supply chain disruptions, rising input costs, and similar issues. Hence, to overcome these challenges, carmakers raise the prices of vehicles. Audi India has cited the rise in customs duty and input cost as the reason for the price hike in India.
