We continue with our expansion strategy on the product and network front, undeterred by the current market scenario. We have strengthened our product portfolio with new engines and exciting new features for the festive season which kicks in this month. We will also open three new dealerships in October," said Joe King, Head, Audi India.

We look forward to celebrating the upcoming festival season with the ever increasing Audi family in India," added King.
