Next-generation Audi TT arrives in India; launch imminent

Several units of the next-generation Audi TT have been imported into India, indicating that the launch of the car might be nearing.

Based on Volkswagen's MQB platform, the new TT is about 50 kg lighter than the outgoing model. It is powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine that puts out 227 bhp and 370 Nm of torque. The car has a 6-speed S-Tronic gearbox and all-wheel drive. Audi claims that the TT can achieve a top speed of 250 kph.

The Audi TT has a broader and flatter hexagonal singleframe grille compared to the older car. It gets Xenon headlights as standard with Audi providing LED units or Matrix LED headlights as options. The car rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with 19 and 20-inchers available as options.

On the inside, the TT gets a multifunction steering wheel, climate control, MMI Navigation Plus and a 680W Bang & Olufsen audio system.

The Audi TT will be imported and sold in India as a CBU. Hence, it is expected to attract maximum import duty and can be expected to sport a high price tag.
