The new Celebration model now retails at a whopping 34.02 lakh less than the standard Q8 ‘Technology' model, which is also powered by the same engine option. Bookings for the new launched SUV are open at dealerships across the country and on the brand's online retails platform.

Mr Dhillon further added, "The Audi Q8 is an SUV that showcases Audi's powerful design, cutting-edge technology and depth of engineering. It's an SUV that's as pleasurable to sit in as it is to drive and also packs in the versatility of an Audi Q-model. As a brand, we are focused on exceeding customer expectations and the Audi Q8 Celebration model is another step in that journey."
