Mumbai: Audi India just gave its luxury fleet a digital third eye with the launch of the Audi Dash Cam—a sleek, smart, and slightly paranoid gadget that watches the road, the parking lot, and everything in between. Priced at ₹68,000 (or, as Audi puts it, “the cost of peace of mind and a fancy dinner for two in Santorini”), this pocket-sized sentinel is available across all Audi models, whether you’re retrofitting your current ride or checking every box while speccing your new one.

It’s not just a camera—it’s your car’s personal historian. With QHD resolution sharper than your neighbour’s gossip, intelligent battery protection that ensures your vehicle doesn’t wake up drained, and mobile app control slicker than your latest Instagram Reel, the Audi Dash Cam is engineered to be less of a gimmick and more of a guardian.

“This is Audi’s way of saying, ‘We’ve got your back—and your front, and your sides, and possibly your cat’s surprise car jump too,’” quipped Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India. “Whether you’re cruising through chaos or parked next to a shopping cart with a death wish, this cam watches it all.”

What’s in the cam-cordery of features?

  • Park Mode with motion detection: Because parking is now a spectator sport.
  • Event Mode: Catches the drama faster than CCTV in a daily soap.
  • Insurance-friendly footage: Goodbye, he-said-she-said, hello, 2K replay.
  • Fraud fighter: Fake injuries? Staged bumps? This cam testifies better than your nosiest neighbour.
  • App integration: Because if it’s not on your phone, does it even exist?

In an age of rising insurance premiums, crafty claimers, and wandering shopping carts with personal vendettas, the Audi Dash Cam may be the best ₹68K you’ll spend on not yelling “WHY IS THIS ALWAYS HAPPENING TO ME?”

So the next time someone tries a bumper ballet in a parking lot, rest easy. Your Audi is watching—and recording.

Now available across Audi India dealerships. Because the only thing more luxurious than leather seats is digital justice.

Mumbai:
The luxury lanes may be a little bumpy in 2025, but Audi India still managed to keep the four rings spinning smoothly. The German marque clocked retail sales of 2,128 units in the first half (H1) of the year—an achievement not to be scoffed at, especially when you’re navigating a road strewn with currency curves, market mood swings, and geopolitical potholes.

But every quattro cloud has a silver lining, and for Audi, that silver shines brightest in the pre-owned segment. Audi Approved: plus—the official used-car arm that makes “previously pampered” cars sound luxurious—grew by 10% in H1 2025. It’s not just a used car program anymore; it’s a certified comeback story.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, turned the ignition on optimism, stating:

“While H1 2025 presented unique market challenges, we have used this period to strengthen our foundation for sustainable growth. By prioritising a luxury-first approach and delivering exceptional customer experiences, we continue to reinforce brand loyalty.”

And the brand isn’t idling. With new launches, festive season fireworks, and a digital-first pit crew ready in the garage, Audi expects H2 to shift gears and accelerate into a more promising lane.

On the EV front, Audi’s ‘Charge My Audi’ network now boasts over 6,500 charging points nationwide—making range anxiety feel like a thing of the petrol past. It’s a plug-and-play party, and everyone’s invited.

To top it off like a cherry on a German black forest cake, Neeraj Chopra, India’s golden boy and javelin Jedi, was recently welcomed as the newest ‘Friend of Audi’. Because when you’re gunning for excellence, nothing says “on target” like a world champion in your corner.

Current Audi India Lineup Includes:
A blend of business-class charm and sporty charisma: Audi A4, A6, Q3 twins, Q5, Q7, Q8 family (including the RS Q8), electrified Q8 e-trons, the razor-sharp e-tron GT, and the wicked-fast RS e-tron GT.

Mumbai: Audi India has launched the new Q7 Signature Edition, an ultra-premium take on its iconic luxury SUV, and yes—it now comes with its own in-car espresso machine. Starting at ₹99.81 lakh (ex-showroom), the Signature Edition is the automotive equivalent of a finely tailored suit: confident, elegant, and just bold enough to stand out in a room full of excellence.

Designed for those who prefer their morning coffee brewed somewhere between 0 to 100 km/h, the Q7 Signature Edition introduces a carefully curated set of enhancements. From Audi rings projection lamps that light up the tarmac with branded flair, to dynamic wheel hub caps that keep the four-ring logo upright even when in motion, this edition has clearly been designed for the detail-obsessed. Add to that a metallic key cover, stainless steel pedal caps, a dash-mounted universal traffic recorder, and the now-famous Espresso Mobile system—because why should five-star coffee be limited to cafés?

Under the hood, the Q7 remains the power-packed beast we know it to be. It’s propelled by a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine that produces 340 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, further enhanced by a 48V mild hybrid system. This luxury barge accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, which means your coffee might not be the only thing heating up quickly. Quattro all-wheel drive ensures confidence across all terrains, while the eight-speed Tiptronic transmission delivers power as smoothly as a barista pours latte art.

Step inside, and the Signature Edition reveals a sanctuary of comfort and technology. The seven-seater cabin, with electrically foldable third-row seats, adapts to every occasion—from weekend getaways to weekday commutes. The fully digital Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, MMI touch response system, and Bang & Olufsen 3D premium sound system with 19 speakers offer an immersive driving experience that’s more symphony hall than SUV. Meanwhile, conveniences like the Audi phone box with wireless charging, 4-zone climate control with aromatization, and a comfort key with sensor-controlled boot lid underline Audi’s commitment to both indulgence and intelligence.

Available in a palette of five sophisticated exterior colours—Sakhir Gold, Waitomo Blue, Mythos Black, Glacier White, and Samurai Grey—the Q7 Signature Edition adds just the right amount of exclusivity to an already luxurious platform. And with only limited units on offer, this special edition is more curated than mass-produced.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, said, “The Audi Q7 continues to be a benchmark in the luxury SUV segment. With the Signature Edition, we are enhancing that benchmark with thoughtful, luxurious touches that resonate with today’s lifestyle-driven customers. From signature styling to an in-cabin espresso experience, this edition is about more than just travel—it’s about the journey of refinement.”

The Q7 Signature Edition is offered exclusively with the Technology variant, with all exclusive elements sourced from Audi Genuine Accessories. It’s a car for those who like their roads fast, their design tasteful, and their coffee strong.

Ingolstadt — Audi has taken the phrase “small but mighty” to an entirely new level with the launch of the third-generation Audi Q3, a compact SUV that thinks it’s a spaceship and behaves like your most competent co-pilot.

Celebrating over a decade as a premium compact bestseller, the new Q3 struts into the segment like it owns the autobahn, flaunting bolder curves, smarter tech, and a powertrain lineup so electrified it could probably jumpstart your Monday mornings.

📸 Big Style in a Smaller Frame

The Q3’s new muscular design is what happens when German efficiency meets Instagram thirst trap. With a wide Singleframe grille, Matrix LED headlights sharp enough to slice through fog and opinions, and optional illuminated rings that scream “premium,” it’s less “compact SUV” and more “rolling tech sculpture.”

And yes, it now comes in Madeira Brown matte, in case your SUV also wants to be a cappuccino.

🔌 Plugged In and Showing Off

The highlight? A plug-in hybrid version with up to 119 km electric-only range—perfect for sneaking out without waking the neighbours or sneaking into low-emission zones without paying fines. Charging? A 50 kW DC fast-charger does the trick in under 30 minutes. Audi calls it e-hybrid. We call it “your new best friend in traffic.”

For the first time in this segment, Audi brings digital Matrix LED headlights with 25,600 micro-LEDs—because 25,599 just wouldn’t cut it. These lights not only illuminate the road, they talk to it. Construction zone ahead? Your Q3 will guide you like a road trip Sherpa. Ice warning? It’ll project a literal snowflake on the tarmac. Subtle.

🧠 Your New Digital Wingman

Inside, the Q3 goes full nerd—with an Android Automotive OS, a 12.8-inch MMI touchscreen, and an AI-powered Audi Assistant avatar who sounds polite, never complains, and actually understands what “take me somewhere with fewer potholes” means. The buttons? Gone. Space? Reimagined. Gear selector? Moved to the steering column because, well, why not?

And with SONOS surround sound, recycled upholstery that’s posher than your last house party, and customizable ambient lighting, the cabin mood goes from “daily commute” to “Nordic spa” in under five seconds.

🛡 It Watches, Warns, and Even Winks

With adaptive cruise assist plus, lane keeping, driver monitoring, and even a trained parking memory that remembers your trickiest maneuvers, the Q3 is basically a robotic butler with wheels. If you’re feeling sleepy, it notices. If you’re bad at parking, it doesn’t judge—it just does it for you.

Also: if you’re heading into a cul-de-sac, it remembers how you got in… and reverses you out. Like a spatially aware breadcrumb trail.

💶 Price of Genius

The entry-level Q3 TFSI starts at €44,600 (INR 44.35 lakh), while the plug-in hybrid version demands €49,300. But can you really put a price on a car that steers itself, flashes light shows, and looks this smug doing it?

With the third-gen Q3, Audi has taken a compact SUV, crammed it with flagship tech, sprinkled in AI and LED wizardry, then made it charming enough to valet itself. It’s not just a Q3—it’s an IQ3.

Audi A4 Signature Edition Arrives: Because Your Drive Deserves a Signature Too, Starts at INR 57.11 lakh https://namastecar.com/2025/06/09/audi-a4-signature-edition-arrives-because-your-drive-deserves-a-signature-too-starts-at-inr-57-11-lakh/ https://namastecar.com/2025/06/09/audi-a4-signature-edition-arrives-because-your-drive-deserves-a-signature-too-starts-at-inr-57-11-lakh/#respond Mon, 09 Jun 2025 07:23:27 +0000 https://namastecar.com/?p=20666 Now with rings that shine brighter than your wedding band, a fragrance dispenser fancier than your perfume shelf,…

Now with rings that shine brighter than your wedding band, a fragrance dispenser fancier than your perfume shelf, and hub caps that know their angles better than your influencer friend.


Mumbai – Audi India just dropped the mic (and a few jaws) with the launch of the Audi A4 Signature Edition, a special take on its best-selling luxury sedan that now comes with enough flair to out-dress your neighbor’s destination wedding invite.

Draped in five head-turning shades—Glacier White, Mythos Black, Navarra Blue, Progressive Red, and Manhattan Grey—the Signature Edition is more than just a paint job. It’s a subtle flex for those who like their sedans with a side of exclusivity and an extra splash of personality.

So, what’s new in this luxury cocktail?
The A4 Signature Edition is sprinkled with enough new features to make your regular A4 look like it’s still wearing factory shoes. You get park assist with a 360° camera (no more guessing games in tight parking spots), a fragrance dispenser to cancel out yesterday’s takeout, and dynamic wheel hub caps that keep the Audi rings upright even when you’re pulling a sharp U-turn at brunch.

Inside, there’s a natural oak wood trim (because fake wood is so last season), stainless steel pedals for that stealth racer touch, and a key cover in customizable colors—because nothing says ‘premium’ like color-coordinated keys.

Exclusive? Absolutely.
Audi India has clarified these Signature Edition units are limited—so yes, it’s a classic case of “if you blink, you’ll miss it.” The Signature Edition is built on the Technology variant, and all added styling magic is bundled from Audi Genuine Accessories.

Still a beast underneath.
This isn’t just a visual glow-up. The A4 still roars to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds thanks to a 2.0L TFSI engine delivering 204 hp and 320 Nm of torque. Pair that with the 12V mild hybrid system and brake recuperation, and you’ve got efficiency wrapped in elegance.

Soundtrack your drive with the B&O Premium 3D Sound System (755 watts of musical perfection), light up your interior in one of 30 ambient hues, and navigate your life with the Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus—because getting lost should be a lifestyle choice, not a tech failure.


Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, summed it up:
“The Audi A4 Signature Edition is for those who don’t just drive—they arrive. It’s our answer to the age-old question: what if a business-class lounge became a car?”

So if you’re in the market for a sedan that’s got both brains and brows, the Audi A4 Signature Edition is your ticket to make the driveway your runway.

Price: ₹57.11 lakh (ex-showroom)
Exclusivity level: Somewhere between limited-edition watch and VIP concert pass.

Pro tip: Get one before your neighbour does—and tells everyone they thought of it first.

New Delhi — Where horsepower meets javelin power.

In a collaboration that’s set to go the distance—possibly over 88.07 meters—Olympic javelin sensation Neeraj Chopra has partnered with Audi India in a high-octane alliance that’s as sharp as his throw and as sleek as an RS5 on the autobahn.

JSW Sports, the team behind India’s golden boy, announced the partnership today, revealing that the double Olympic medalist and reigning sultan of steel-tipped spears will now add a four-ringed emblem to his growing legacy of global excellence. While one is known for crafting aerodynamic javelins through the air, the other engineers aerodynamic icons on wheels—talk about precision alignment!

Speaking on the association, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, revved up the compliments:
“At Audi, we champion those who push boundaries. Neeraj doesn’t just push them—he launches them into orbit. His trajectory, both literal and metaphorical, aligns perfectly with our brand values of progress, performance, and the thrill of doing the extraordinary.”

It’s not just about throwing javelins and gripping steering wheels. It’s about a shared mindset. Both Chopra and Audi are obsessed with fractions—be it milliseconds shaved off lap times or centimetres added to a javelin throw. Both hate mediocrity. And both, let’s face it, look damn good in motion.

Neeraj Chopra, who followed up his Tokyo Olympic gold with world-dominating performances, including a Paris 2024 silver, spoke with characteristic humility (and unmistakable horsepower):
“I’ve always admired Audi—not just for the cars, but the spirit. There’s something very athletic about an Audi. You don’t just drive it, you feel it pushing you to be better. I relate to that.”

Neeraj joins the Audi family not just as an ambassador, but as a living metaphor for the brand: clean technique, explosive power, and the kind of focus that makes wind nervous. Whether on the podium or behind the wheel, he carries the weight of a nation’s dreams—and does it with the style of a luxury coupé on cruise control.

Karan Yadav, Chief Commercial Officer of JSW Sports, summed it up like a pro:
“This isn’t just a brand collaboration—it’s a collision of excellence. Neeraj admires Audi. Audi respects Neeraj. The rest of us just sit back and watch greatness accelerate.”

With this partnership, expect a lot more than just a celebrity photo-op next to an RS Q8. This is the beginning of something faster, stronger, and infinitely cooler. Just don’t ask Neeraj to javelin a Q7—yet.

Mumbai – In a bold fusion of horsepower and humility, Audi India has fired up the ignition on a brand-new initiative—‘Audi Drive Sure’, a responsible driver education program with a singular mission: teaching drivers that performance isn’t just about going fast, it’s about knowing when not to.

With India’s roads becoming more congested than a group chat during IPL finals, Audi’s latest initiative takes a sharp turn toward responsible luxury. Designed for both owners and chauffeurs of Audi’s performance beasts, ‘Drive Sure’ aims to close the knowledge gap between modern-day German engineering and good old-fashioned driver sensibility.

“At Audi, ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ doesn’t mean ‘launch control on every speed bump,’” said Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India. “It’s a promise of progress—for roads, for drivers, and yes, even for that one uncle who thinks the brake pedal is optional.”

The curriculum comes in two finely tuned versions:

  • For young Audi owners: A workshop teaching them that the ‘S’ in S-line doesn’t stand for ‘Speed demon’. Topics include handling high-performance vehicles across varied terrains, decoding that blinking light on the dash (no, it’s not applause), and mastering driving scenarios that don’t involve racing school fantasies.
  • For chauffeurs: Because if you’re being driven in an Audi, your chauffeur shouldn’t treat it like a rickshaw. This elite program includes Audi technology immersion, grooming etiquette, and lessons in luxury conduct, ensuring every passenger feels like a VIP—even during rush hour.

And here’s the kicker: the program is absolutely free for Audi customers—because safety shouldn’t come with a surcharge.

The move comes at a time when Audi India has already crossed the milestone of 100,000 cars sold in the country, with one in every four cars going to repeat customers. Clearly, people love their Audis—now Audi wants to make sure people also respect what’s under the hood.

So the next time you hear an Audi engine roar in your neighborhood, rest easy knowing the driver has likely been taught not just how to unleash the beast, but how to tame it with class.

Drive safe. Drive smart. Drive sure—with Audi.

Mumbai: In a move that’s bound to make both wallets and speedometers twitch, Audi India has announced a price hike of up to 2% across its entire model lineup, effective May 15, 2025. Citing the one-two punch of increasing input costs and an uncooperative exchange rate, the German marque is rolling out what it calls a “necessary adjustment” to maintain smooth financial cruising.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, commented with characteristic German precision: “This correction is essential for Audi India and our dealer partners to ensure sustainable growth. We remain committed to minimising the impact on our valued customers.” (Translation: Yes, it’s more expensive—but we promise it’s still worth it.)

From the suave Audi A4 to the shockingly quick RS e-tron GT, no quattro will be left untouched. Whether you’re a fan of petrol-powered elegance like the Q5 or chasing volts in the Q8 e-tron, the price of premium motoring is shifting up a notch.

Audi’s current India lineup includes the A4, A6, Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, Q8, S5 Sportback, RS Q8, Q8 e-tron, Q8 Sportback e-tron, e-tron GT and the high-voltage RS e-tron GT. While the features stay top-shelf, the ex-showroom price tags will need just a little more horsepower—from your bank account.

So if you’re looking to drive off in German luxury before prices rise—tick tock, the 15th looms. After that, even “Vorsprung durch Technik” will cost just a little more ‘technisch’.

With a design sleeker than your CEO’s LinkedIn profile and tech smarter than your office’s intern, the 2025 Audi A6 Sedan rolls in with record aerodynamics, plush comforts, and a hybrid heart that whispers efficiency.


Ingolstadt — If James Bond had a board meeting at 9 and a car chase at 10, this is the car he’d pick. Audi has just pulled the silk off its latest weapon of mass sophistication — the all-new Audi A6 Sedan, and it’s not just a car. It’s a very well-mannered beast in a Hugo Boss suit.

Waltzing into the executive lounge of premium sedans, the new A6 is not here to compete — it’s here to disrupt while looking like it was designed during a black-tie gala. With a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.23, this car slices through the air smoother than your favorite barista’s flat white. It’s the slipperiest thing in Germany since Oktoberfest got rained out.


Aerodynamics so good, even the wind asks for directions

The A6’s exterior looks like it was sculpted by wind tunnels in therapy — with every crease, curve, and contour meticulously plotted to reduce drag and increase envy in adjacent lanes. The front is a low-slung affair of elegance, featuring Audi’s hallmark Singleframe grille, now sharper than your accountant during tax season. Optimized air curtains and a new front spoiler? Check. Vertical brake lights and a diffuser that doubles as art? You bet.

And yes, it’s still a sedan — but not the kind that waits in valet lines. This one owns them.


Inside: Where PowerPoint decks fear to tread

Slide inside, and the A6 turns into a minimalist business lounge curated by a Scandinavian interior designer with a flair for drama. Audi calls it a “digital stage” — and honestly, it makes your office cubicle look like a supply closet.

There’s a panoramic glass roof that moonlights as a digital curtain. An OLED touchscreen setup so futuristic, it might start doing your emails. Softwrap materials and sustainable seat fabrics remind you that it’s possible to save the planet while still enjoying surround sound from a 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen system (with headrest speakers so you can literally whisper sweet nothings to yourself in stereo).

Also, the ambient lighting? It doesn’t illuminate, it vibes.


Partly Electric, Fully Brilliant: MHEV Plus is the new MBA

The A6 doesn’t just look smart — it is smart. With its Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle Plus (MHEV+) tech, the car can creep silently through city streets like a ninja in patent leather shoes. Whether it’s gliding on battery in traffic or using regenerative braking to turn red lights into green karma, the A6 makes efficiency seem… sexy.

From the 204 PS 2.0L variants to the beefy 367 PS 3.0L V6 (because sometimes spreadsheets need a supercharger), the powertrain options offer something for every executive — whether your corner office is on the 30th floor or at 30,000 RPM.


Suspension: The AirBnB of Ride Quality

The optional adaptive air suspension can raise, lower, or simply vibe at your request. It’s a suspension so intuitive, it’ll probably give you a neck massage if you whisper “raise” politely enough.

Add all-wheel steering and quattro ultra into the mix and you’ve got a boardroom athlete — stable at high speeds, nimble in tight corners, and always dressed for success.


Lighting Tech: Subtle as a Power Move

Lights aren’t just lights anymore. The digital OLED tail lamps feature 396 segments that dance, wink, and communicate. They flash warning triangles if there’s danger ahead. They twinkle when you arrive. If Audi could teach these lights to clap, the A6 would get a standing ovation every morning.


Infotainment: Featuring ChatGPT (Hello, that’s me!)

That’s right — the A6 now has me, ChatGPT, built-in. Need the weather? I’ve got it. Trivia about Mozart on a long drive? Absolutely. Existential questions at 2 a.m. while parked under the stars? Let’s talk.

Oh, and with Android Automotive OS, onboard WiFi, over-the-air updates, and third-party apps built into the infotainment, the A6 has more software than your IT department. Except this one doesn’t lag when you open too many tabs.


Driver Assists So Good, They Should Have a LinkedIn

The A6 comes packed with 21st-century driving aides like Adaptive Driving Assistant Plus, lane guidance, traffic sign recognition, cross-traffic assist, and even emergency braking that doesn’t panic under pressure.

There’s even door-closing assist, because let’s be honest — you’re too classy to slam doors.


Conclusion: Boardroom Brawn, Autobahn Brain

The new Audi A6 Sedan doesn’t just whisper luxury — it murmurs brilliance with a German accent. It’s a masterclass in balancing elegance with innovation, comfort with dynamics, and performance with poise. If cars were employees, the A6 would be the one promoted three times before your morning coffee.

So here’s to the sedan that doesn’t follow trends — it files them, presents them in a quarterly review, and then outpaces them on the autobahn.

Mumbai: Audi India just flipped the switch on Phase II of its ‘Charge My Audi’ initiative, and the numbers are as electrifying as their EVs. With more than 6,500 charging points now buzzing across the country, the German luxury carmaker is making sure range anxiety is something we leave in the rearview mirror—right next to cassette players and road maps.

Phase II isn’t just an update—it’s an overcharge. Audi has added 5,500+ new charging points and teamed up with 16 fresh partners, creating an EV ecosystem that could give Google Maps a complex. From highways to hipster cafés, and from office parks to obscure weekend getaways, Audi’s charging network now stretches across 850+ cities, 28 states and union territories, and 4,700+ locations—which, frankly, is more connected than most friend circles post-college.

And the best part? Complimentary charging for all e-tron owners has been extended until December 31, 2025. So yes, if you’re driving an Audi e-tron, your car’s electricity bill might still be cheaper than your smartphone’s.

“We’re not just installing chargers—we’re installing confidence,” said Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, while clearly resisting the urge to shout “Watt a time to be alive!” “Phase II is a giant leap for Audi-kind. It’s all about making electric mobility practical, premium, and panic-free.”

The ‘Charge My Audi’ app, which sounds like something Iron Man might use for his garage, allows users to plan routes, check real-time charger availability, and control charging sessions with the finesse of tapping a screen. The backend of this system is powered by Numocity Technology, making it a bit like having a travel agent, pit crew, and weatherman in your pocket—but only more responsive.

Audi’s partner list for this mega charging grid reads like a who’s who of EV infrastructure: Shell India, Adani Total Energies, Statiq, Gentari India, Relux Electric, Lion Charge, and others—basically, if you’ve ever seen a charging station and thought, “What even is that company?”, it’s probably in the lineup.

This move isn’t just a flex. It follows a stellar 2024 where Audi India celebrated its 100,000th car on the road and launched the ‘100 Days of Celebration’ campaign. With electric vehicles becoming less of a trend and more of a transition, Audi seems determined to make sure its customers never find themselves stuck somewhere scenic with 2% battery and a confused Uber driver on the way.

So if you’re an Audi e-tron driver, congrats—you’ve got 6,500+ reasons to hit the road. Just don’t forget your playlist. The car’s already got the charge.
