Commenting on the launch, Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon said, “traditionally, the festive season has been a strong sales period for the auto industry and we are extremely happy to introduce an addition to the Q-family the Audi Q8 Celebration.”
Since its very successful launch in January this year, the Audi Q8 has received an overwhelming response, he said adding that the company is confident that with the Audi Q8 Celebration it will now be able to widen the appeal of the Q model.
The Audi Q8 Celebration has a host of features, including HD Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic lighting, button-less multi-media interface navigation system with touch response, wireless phone charging, 8 airbags and park assist, among others, the company said.
