Given the electric vehicle launches Audi India has presented over the last few months, you’d be mistaken to think that the company was changing its focus from ICE-vehicles to EVs. That, however, is not the case. Audi is gearing up to introduce new versions of once-available cars and all-new vehicles to add to their fleet, and it begins with the new Q5, a facelifted and updated version of one of their highest selling SUV models. The Q5 is built on the MLB platform and this underpins several other vehicles in the Audi range, including sedans and compact SUVs. So over the course of the year you will see more revisions to existing models coming up rather than completely new models.
