The SUV also gets segment first Audi Virtual Cockpit and a smart Audi Smartphone Interface.
Addressing the launch, Rahil Ansari, Head, Audi India, said, "This is the year of 'Audi Reloaded' for us. 'Audi Reloaded' just doesn't mean new products or new touch points but it signifies a nimbleness to tweak the strategy as per the market demand. We have taken a strategic decision to increase our petrol mix and started off the process with the launch of the Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI in March this year. We do have some other surprises planned for this year."
The car is already available in India with a 3.0 TDI engine which is no different from the new petrol version in the terms of design and functionality.
