Audi is increasing 2011 model year range prices by an average 2% due to currency exchange rates, although the company says that in a number of cases the rise is offset by enhanced equipment levels.
With effect from Tuesday, May 25, prices for most models within the UK Audi range will, although recently announced prices for A1, RS 5, A8 and R8 Spyder will remain unchanged.
Customer orders placed up to, and including, May 24 will be fixed at currently advertised 2010 model year prices.
Among the core models in the Audi range, the three-door A3 and five-door A3 Sportback hatchbacks are subject to an increase of 1.9%, the A4 saloon and Avant rise by 2.4% (in SE form) and the A6 Saloon and Avant by 2%.
A5 Sportback, Coupe and Cabriolet models increase by 2.5%, 2.4% and 2.2%, Q5 and Q7 by 2% and 0.6%, TT Coupe and Roadster by 0.9% and R8 V8 and V10 by 3%.
In a number of cases the increases go hand-in-hand with improvements. The TT range, for example, features a newly introduced and more efficient Turbo FSI petrol engine and recuperation technology that boosts economy virtually across the board.
The Q5 adds an engine start-stop system for four-cylinder models that also works in favour of improved fuel economy, and the Q7 is revitalised by more frugal new petrol and TDI engines and a new eight-speed tiptronic transmission.
