Audi will have no diesel cars on sale in April 2020

According to media reports, Audi will have no diesel cars on sale from April 2020. Instead, the carmaker will only offer BS-VI compliant petrol engines on all its models.

While diesel powered cars have not been completely ruled out, Audi is also planning to introduce electric and hybrid vehicles as well. The carmaker is looking to take advantage of the government's new rule that allows the import of 2,500 units annually without homologation.

It has been reported that the switch to a petrol-only portfolio was influenced by changing buying behavior of the customers. It is said that this year alone 30-35% of customers chose petrol variants over diesels.
