Audi Q5 and Q7, both the SUVs were launched in India in 2009, and this year they complete ten years in the country. To celebrate the milestone, Audi has announced a ‘limited-period celebratory pricing’ for its Q5 and Q7 SUVs on the event of the tenth anniversary of these models. Under this offer, buyers can benefit from as much as INR 6.1 lakh lower price.
The Audi Q5 45 TFSI petrol and Audi Q5 40 TDI diesel are now priced at INR 49.99 lakh*, which is a direct reduction of INR 5.9 lakh. Moreover, the Audi Q7 45 TFSI petrol is now offered from INR 68.9 lakh*, after a price reduction of INR 4.92 lakh. The Audi 45 TDI diesel is now priced from INR 71.99 lakh*, which is INR 6.1 lakh less than the previous pricing.
