Audi e-Tron Revealed In India For The First Time; Launch In Late 2019
- The Audi e-tron is the company's first fully electric model
- We expect the price to be around Rs. 1.5 crore
- It will be the first fully electric SUV from a luxury carmaker in India
Audi India had organised a preview of the e-Tron in India last month and now, it has finally been showcased to the public at the inauguration of the company's new dealership in Gurugram. The Audi e-Tron was first showcased in September 2018 at the company's annual Summit in USA and it will be launched in India towards the end of 2019. It is the first fully electric model from Audi and an SUV at that. We expect the e-Tron to be priced somewhere in the region of Rs. 1.5 crore. Audi India will also be launching the new-gen A8L and the Q8 SUV in India by the end of 2019 along with the new A6, which will be launched September 2019.
