Commenting on the achievement, managing director of Audi India, Benoit Tiers said, “These accolades are an acknowledgement of the success and acceptance our cars enjoy with discerning customers and reviewers alike. The crowning glory of course is the recognition we have received in the form of the Best Brand awards for Advanced Technology and Quality which is an affirmation of our commitment to technological excellence and a validation of the success of our core philosophy ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’. It is a great honour for Audi to be awarded by such veterans from the Indian automobile industry and this recognition will spur us to set new benchmarks going ahead.”
