Audi India has officially announced a 2 per cent price hike across its entire model range, effective from 15 May, 2025. The company has cited rising input costs and adverse currency exchange rates as the main reasons behind the upward revision. With this move, buyers planning to get an Audi will need to factor in a slightly higher budget from mid-May onwards.
Reason
The brand has pointed to a combination of increasing production costs and fluctuating currency rates as the trigger for the hike. These are common challenges faced by luxury carmakers operating in India, particularly when sourcing components or importing fully built units. To maintain profitability and operational efficiency, Audi has decided to pass on a portion of this cost to customers.
This price adjustment is not exclusive to a few models—it applies across the entire product portfolio, making it one of the more comprehensive hikes from the brand in recent months.
Models Affected
Every vehicle in Audi India’s current line-up will be affected. This includes sedans, SUVs, and electric vehicles. Here’s a look at the complete list of models that will see revised pricing:
| Audi Models | Body Style |
|---|---|
| A4 | Sedan |
| A6 | Sedan |
| Q3 | SUV |
| Q3 Sportback | Coupe-SUV |
| Q5 | SUV |
| Q7 | SUV |
| Q8 | SUV |
| S5 Sportback | Performance Sedan |
| RS Q8 | Performance SUV |
| Q8 e-tron | Electric SUV |
| Q8 Sportback e-tron | Electric Coupe-SUV |
| e-tron GT | Electric Sedan |
| RS e-tron GT | Performance EV |
From entry-level luxury sedans like the A4 to high-end electric performance models like the RS e-tron GT, no variant will be left untouched by the upcoming revision.
Price Impact
Audi India has stated that the actual increase in cost will depend on the specific model and variant. While the average hike is pegged at 2 per cent, higher trims or CBU models may see a more noticeable jump. The updated variant-wise pricing will be shared with dealers over the next week, helping customers get clarity before the new pricing takes effect.
Customers looking to book their car before 15 May may still be able to lock in current prices, depending on dealership inventory and delivery timelines.
Timing
With the hike scheduled to come into effect from 15 May 2025, customers have a short window to make purchases at current prices. If you’ve been planning to bring home an Audi, it might make sense to act before the increase kicks in.
