Audi India is poised to expand its portfolio in 2024, following a triumphant 2023 where it witnessed an impressive 88% growth in the first nine months, with sales surpassing 5,500 units. Last year, Audi enhanced its lineup with the introduction of the Q3 Sportback, the Q8 e-tron, and the Q8 e-tron Sportback.
