The new car features standard LED headlight units with all lighting functions and an aluminium body based on the Audi Space Frame (ASF) principle, as a result of which the body weighs nearly 40% lesser than a steel body.

In the months January-June 2011, Audi India has seen a 100% growth in sales to 2,802 cars as compared to 1,400 cars for the same period in the year 2010.
