After the introduction of the 2022 Audi A8 L luxury sedan last month, Audi is set to launch its next big product, the 2022 Audi Q3 premium compact SUV in India, and Audi India has announced that it has opened the bookings for the Q3 for a sum of Rs. 2 lakh. The 2022 Audi Q3 has been on sale in European markets since 2019 but comes to India only now due to the delay caused by the global pandemic. Audi is expected to launch the new Q3 around September 2022, with deliveries beginning towards the end of the year. Audi is also giving benefits to its first 500 customers, which include a 2+3 year extended warranty, 3 year/50,000 km comprehensive service value package, and further special loyalty benefits to existing Audi India customers.
