Audi India To Launch At Least Three More Cars This Year

German luxury carmaker Audi is likely to launch at least three more cars in India this year. The company launched the new Audi RS 5 Sportback in India, its fifth model after the A4 facelift, S5 Sportback, the all-electric e-tron and e-tron Sportback. During a post-launch interaction, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India hinted that the Ingolstadt-based carmaker has a strong product strategy in place for India, and as many as three more launches can be expected before the end of 2021.

When asked about upcoming product launches Dhillon said, “Last month we did three cars launches, and (RS 5 Sportback) this month, and very soon we’ll again be facing each other with another launch, then another launch, and then another. So, successively you’re going to see many more cars coming.” In July Audi launched two variants of the all-electric e-tron – e-tron 50 and e-tron 55, along with its coupe version, the e-tron Sportback 55. And this month, the company has launched the Audi RS 5 Sportback.

While Balbir did not mention which models are coming to our shores, we can expect at least one of them to be an electric car. In July, post the launch of the e-tron range, Dhillon told carandbike that the company will bring at least one more electric car to India this year. While details regarding the upcoming EV model were not shared, globally the e-tron GT and the RS e-tron GT four-door coupe sedans are the only electric models on sale, apart from the e-tron SUVs. So, chances of one of them, or both coming to India are very much plausible.
