"In recent months, we have introduced several models with very different characters. But Audi's journey this year has not stopped there. At GIIAS 2026, we will introduce a model that is an important part of Audi's journey in Indonesia and further completes the Audi Q family," Chandra said in a written statement on Thursday (July 23, 2026). While the specific identity of the model remains under wraps, Audi is confident it will broaden the choices for premium SUV consumers in Indonesia.
Audi emphasizes that all models in the Q Series are developed under the "Vorsprung durch Technik" (Advancement Through Technology) philosophy, offering distinct characters while upholding Audi's signature progressive design, technology, performance, and comfort. This year, Audi Indonesia has already launched models such as the Audi S3, the Audi S3 Verve Edition, and the new Audi Q5 Sportback, with the GIIAS 2026 debutant poised to further enhance its SUV range.
For now, we choose to keep the details first. However, we believe this latest arrival will be part of completing the Audi Q family in Indonesia.
