Audi will make its vehicles expensive from April 1.
German luxury car manufacturer Audi has announced an increase in prices of all its cars in India by up to 2 percent. This price update will be applicable from April 1, 2026. The company clarified that these steps are being taken to partially offset the impact of rising input costs and currency fluctuations. The increase will be applicable on ex-showroom prices and will cover the entire model range.
Audi India Brand Director Balveer Singh Dhillon said in an official statement that due to recent rising input costs and currency fluctuations, we are implementing a price adjustment of up to two percent from April 1, 2026. We are committed to minimizing the impact of this price hike on our customers.
How expensive will Audi cars be?
Depending on the current prices, this increase will have different impacts on different models. Audi’s most affordable model, the Q3, may see a price increase of around Rs 86,000, which currently starts at Rs 43.23 lakh (ex-showroom).
At the same time, the price of the brand’s most expensive offering RS Q8 may increase by about Rs 4.64 lakh. This model starts from Rs 2.32 crore. Thus, the impact of the increase can range from Rs 86,000 to Rs 4.64 lakh depending on the price of the model. However, official details are yet to come.
company portfolio
Audi India is currently selling a total of 10 models in India. These include Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, Q8, RS Q8 Performance, SQ8, A4, A5 and A6. Some of these models are assembled locally while many are being imported and sold. Last year, the company had also increased the price by 3 percent in January 2025. This is the first price hike of 2026.
Why did the price increase?
The luxury car market is growing rapidly in India. Brands like Audi are taking advantage of the demand for premium SUVs and sedans. Rising input costs, such as inflation of steel, batteries and electronic components, as well as rupee-euro fluctuations have forced companies to adjust prices. Many other luxury car manufacturers have also taken similar steps and price hikes may be announced by them in the coming time.
