2020 saw Audi India flex its muscles with a slew of new launches including the A8, Q8, RS Q8 and RS 7. However, these aren’t exactly what you’d call accessible as all of them carry price tags of more than a crore. Audi did launch the Q2, and despite it being the cheapest offering in its lineup, it is still pricey for what it offers being a CBU and attracting hefty import duties. Models which have driven sales in the past like the Q3, A3, A4 and Q5 were dropped as the country transitioned to BS6 emissions norms. For 2021, these names are set to make a comeback and first to arrive is the new Audi A4.
