New Delhi, September 25, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
German luxury carmaker Audi on Friday announced the commencement of local assembly of the all-new Audi Q3 at the SAVWIPL plant in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, strengthening its local manufacturing footprint in India.
The new-generation compact luxury SUV is scheduled to be launched in India on October 16, 2026. It is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine and comes with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system, according to Audi India.
The company said the new Q3 combines dynamic performance with the everyday practicality of a compact luxury SUV and features several segment-first technologies and features aimed at modern luxury car buyers.
Customers can book the all-new Audi Q3 through the Audi India website, the myAudi Connect application or at Audi India dealerships.
“The start of production of the All-New Audi Q3 is an important milestone for our Group in India. It reflects the strong capabilities of our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar facility and our commitment to supporting the growth of our brands in the country,” said Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India.
“We are proud to produce the latest Audi Q3 in India, with the same high standards of quality, precision and engineering excellence that define Audi globally,” he added.
Audi India sold around 4,510 units in 2025 amid what the company described as evolving market conditions in the luxury automobile segment. The company said the implementation of GST 2.0 helped boost customer confidence in the luxury car market during the year.
Audi India increased prices of its cars by up to 2 per cent from April 1, 2026. The company attributed the price revision across its model range to rising input costs and currency fluctuations, which it said had increased overall expenses.
