GST 2.0 Cuts Audi Prices Big Just In Time For Festive Deals
Newzdaddy Business Updates
With benefits ranging from ₹2.6 lakh to over ₹7.8 lakh depending on the model, the updated prices make Audi’s range of luxury cars and SUVs more accessible, adding momentum to customer demand ahead of the festive season. Customers can visit the nearest Audi India dealership or the official website to check the exact price of their preferred model.
Audi India’s price changes are all because of something called GST 2.0, a big new tax rule. GST used to be tricky with many levels, but GST 2.0 simplifies it. That means taxes are lower for cars, so Audi can lower prices, too. Large companies like Audi often pass on tax benefits to help shoppers, not just keep the savings
The savings go from ₹2.6 lakh to over ₹7.8 lakh, depending on the model. That’s a big discount! It makes Audi cars more accessible to more people. Ari A4 gets the smallest cut, while the fancy Q8 SUV gets the largest
For example, the A4’s price has dropped by ₹2.64 lakh, now starting around ₹46.25 lakh. The Q3 is cheaper by ₹3.07 lakh. The bigger Q7’s price is down by ₹6.15 lakh, and the top-of-the-line Q8 saw a cut of ₹7.8 lakh.
These new prices start from 22 September 2025, just in time for the festive season when many families are planning new purchases. It’s smart timing, people looking for a luxury car now find them more affordable than before
Audi isn’t the only brand doing this. Other luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz are also cutting prices because of the same GST changes. Many other car makers, even budget ones like Maruti and Tata, are reducing prices too. That shows the tax rule has wide effects
Why did this change happen? The GST system used to have many tax slabs, like 12% and 28%, which made things confusing. With GST 2.0, now it’s simpler: most things get taxed at just 5% or 18%, and luxury goods like big cars fall under a 40% tax slab. That’s how prices came down
But simpler rules can create some challenges. In states like Gujarat, businesses worry that some tax credits they had may now get lost. Dealers are asking the government to let them transfer or refund old taxes. So while customers get benefits, businesses are still navigating changes.
This tax change isn’t just for cars. It covers everyday items too, things like biscuits, soaps, and snacks. Those are now taxed less and will cost less. GST 2.0 aims to help families cut costs on daily essentials while taxing luxury items more.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says these reforms are PM Modi’s way of helping people, especially the middle class and small business owners. She calls GST 2.0 “pro-farmer, pro-MSME,” and wants businesses to pass on the savings, not keep them
Economists believe cutting GST rates can make people buy more, which helps the economy. Lower taxes on things people need and use can help bring back growth and boost sales.
