The end of a financial year usually sees quite a few carmakers offer large discounts and benefits in order to clear inventory of older models. Audi dealerships across India have now been authorised to provide potential customers with massive discounts and benefits on a large selection of its India range, including the Q3, Q5 and Q7 SUVs and the A3, A4 and A6 sedans. Here’s how much you’ll be able to save on your brand new Audi, if you buy it before March 31, 2019:
Audi Q7
Save up to Rs 14 lakh
Audi’s current flagship SUV has made quite a name for itself in the upper crest of Indian car buyers thanks to excellent cabin quality and the brilliant 249hp, 3.0-litre diesel engine. There’s also a 251hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol on offer with the seven-seat SUV. Like its rival, the Mercedes GLS, the Q7 also offers seating for seven. Buyers can avail up to Rs 14 lakh worth of discounts and benefits on the diesel Q7 45 TDI and up to Rs 13 lakh on the petrol Audi Q7 40 TFSI.
Audi A6
Save up to Rs 13.5 lakh
The Audi A6 seems dated compared to newer competition like the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class considering it was last updated in 2015, but it still looks classy and premium. It is available with a 1.8-litre turbo-petrol and 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, both of which produce 190hp and are mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The A6 is offered in a single top-spec Technology trim, both of which can now be bought with whopping discounts and benefits of up to Rs 13.5 lakh.
Audi Q5
Save up to Rs 12 lakh
The Q5 shares its interior bits with the larger Q7, which is most definitely a good thing. The rival to the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLE looks neat, sports excellent ride quality and comes with a pair of refined engines – a 252hp, 2.0-litre petrol and a 190hp, 2.0-litre diesel. Audi dealers are now offering up to Rs 12 lakh on the top-spec Q5 35 TFSI Technology, up to Rs 10.5 lakh on the Q5 35 TDI Technology, Rs 10 lakh on the Q5 35 TDI Premium Plus, and Rs 9 lakh on the Audi Q5 35 TFSI Premium Plus.
Audi A4
Save up to Rs 10 lakh
The A4 is Audi’s answer to the Mercedes C-class, BMW 3-series and Volvo’s S60, but its understated looks aren’t to everybody’s liking. Nonetheless, the Audi A4’s highlights include a user-friendly and high quality cabin, overall refinement and a smooth 190hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine. The 150hp, 1.4-litre petrol is good for the city, but feels underwhelming on the highway. Potential customers can get discounts and benefits of up to Rs 10 lakh on the top-spec A4 Technology and up to Rs 9.5 lakh on the lower-spec A4 Premium Plus.
Audi Q3
Save up to Rs 10 lakh
The smallest SUV in Audi India’s current line-up, the Q3 comes a refined and adequate 150hp, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol and 150hp, 2.-litre diesel engines, along with a more powerful 184hp, 2.0-litre diesel motor. While the Audi Q3 may feel a bit older than its competition, which includes the Mercedes GLA, BMW X1, Volvo XC40 and Mini Countryman, the SUV is known for a comfortable and quality cabin. There are discounts and benefits up to Rs 10 lakh on the diesel Q3 35 TDI Technology, Rs 9 lakh on the diesel Premium Plus and Rs 8.5 lakh on the Q3 30 TFSI and Q3 30 TDI.
Audi A3
Save up to Rs 8.5 lakh
The entry-point to the German carmaker’s range, the Audi A3 is known for its fun-to-drive qualities and comfortable ride. While it isn’t ideal for the chauffeur-driven, the A3’s 150hp, 1.4-litre petrol and 143hp, 2.0-litre diesel engines offer good performance and come mated to a quick shifting 7-speed dual clutch automatic. All four variants of the sedan can now be had with benefits up to Rs 8.5 lakh in select locations.
