Audi India has announced a price increase of up to 2 percent across its model range, effective April 1, 2026. The company said the revision is due to rising input costs and currency fluctuations and will apply to ex-showroom prices of models sold in India.

  1. Price revision to take effect from April 1, 2026
  2. Prices expected to rise by around Rs 86,000 to Rs 4.64 lakh, depending on model

Commenting on the move, Balbir Singh Dhillon, brand director, Audi India, said, “Due to recent rising input costs and currency fluctuations, we are implementing a price adjustment of up to 2 percent effective from April 1, 2026. We remain committed to minimising the impact of the price hike on our customers.”

Based on current pricing, the increase could translate to about Rs 86,000 on the Audi Q3, Audi’s most affordable model, which starts at Rs 43.23 lakh, and around Rs 4.64 lakh on the RS Q8, the brand’s most expensive offering, priced at Rs 2.32 crore (both ex-showroom).

Audi’s locally assembled range in India includes the A4 and A6 sedans, along with the Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5 and Q7 SUVs. The brand also sells imports such as the A5 Sportback, Q8, Q8 e-tron and e-tron GT.

The company had previously announced a price increase of up to 3 percent from January 2025.
