New Delhi: German luxury carmaker Audi is ready with the launch of its new Q5 SUV in India in November. From Tuesday, the company has opened its booking for the new upcoming car. The SUV can be booked with the initial price of Rs 2 lakh online through its website or any of its dealerships.
The exterior of the new Audi Q5 features a strong bonnet with redesigned front and rear bumpers which include a new grille and alloy wheels. It further has narrow air damn and sleek headlights. The sides of the car possess roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, and body-covered ORVMs. On the rear section of the vehicle, an antenna, a roof-mounted spoiler, a window wiper, and new taillights are featured.
The model is powered by a 2-litre petrol engine that produces 249 HP and 7Nm of torque. Besides, it has safety features such as eight airbags which include rear side airbags to enhance driver safety. It also has an Audi part assist, comfort key with sensor-controlled boot lid operation.
“Today, we open bookings for our strong addition to Audi’s successful Q family in India – the Audi Q5. This will be our 9th product launch for 2021,” said Balbir Singh Dhillon, Audi India Head.
Talking about the new features of Audi Q5, he added, “With its new design that captivates at first glance, we are confident that it will continue to retain its leadership position in the segment and woo the existing and prospective customers.”
The return of Q5 will accelerate the growth of sales in India. Last year, Audi stopped the sale of its popular SUVs such as Q3, Q5, and the Q7 when India moved to BS-VI mission norms with the company and decided to stop offering diesel engine options in the country.
In the previous year, Audi India sold 1,639 units. In the first eight months of 2021, the company has witnessed a 115% increase in sales, in terms of growth.
