Audi has started production of Q3, a compact class sports utility vehicle (SUV), from Aurangabad plant, making it the fifth model to be produced in India.
The German luxury car manufacturer already produces sedans A4 and A6, and SUVs Q5 and Audi Q7 here.
“This will reduce waiting times for our customers and will enable us to offer a wider range of versions in the market,” said Joe King, Head of Audi India, adding this also means that Audi India is now building all its Q models locally.
Capacity
The Q3 will be produced at the group company Škoda Auto’s plant in Aurangabad.
The whole-year capacity at the plant for all Audi models is more than 13,000 units in a one-shift operation.
“Local production of the Q3 is part of our long-term growth strategy in India, one of the most promising auto markets in the world,” said Frank Dreves, Audi Board Member for Production.
