Audi offering its Q Range on pre-budget prices till March 15

Audi India has announced via a newspaper advertisement and a picture on its official site that it is offering the Q3, Q5 and Q7 SUVs at pre-budget prices till March 15 or till stock lasts.

During the 2013 Union Budget, Finance Minister P Chidambaram announced an increase of 25 per cent in the customs duty on imported cars and raised the excise duty on SUVs by three per cent.  Since all of Audi’s Q-range vehicles are classified as SUVs, it is almost certain that the German automaker will raise their prices by the end of the month. In fact the Q3 is a CBU, so the prices hike for the same is expected to be even higher. Find out more about the impact of 2013-14 budget on Indian automobile industry here.

Audi is following in the footsteps of BMW who yesterday announced that they were selling their X-range of vehicles (3, 5, 6) for pre-budget prices till March 31 or till stocks lasted.
