Audi will raise its prices by an average of 2 per cent, with the brand blaming unfavourable exchange rates for the move.
The new prices will come into effect on 25 May and will apply to most models on sale in the UK.
Exchange rate
“Prices will increase as a result of prevailing currency exchange rates. Their impact has necessitated an average rise of around two per cent, which in some cases will be partially offset by specification improvements,” said an Audi spokesman.
New customer orders placed up to, and including, 24 May will be fixed at currently advertised 2010 Model Year prices.
