Nowadays, an inauguration of a
luxury car dealership is all glitz and glamour. True to its style, Audi, the
German luxury car manufacturer, inaugurated its second world-class showroom in Bengaluru
which saw the presence of Bollywood actress Gul Panag and race driver Aditya
Patel at the event.
This is the third Audi
showroom in Karnataka.
Based on a unique Central
Business District concept, this showroom is the second of its kind in the country
after Audi Delhi Central. The showroom was inaugurated by Joe King, Head, Audi
India and K. Subramaniam, CEO Audi Bengaluru Central. The entire Audi model
range in India will be available at Audi Bengaluru Central showroom.
“Audi Bengaluru Central, based
on a unique lounge concept, is yet another endeavour designed to give our
customers a truly personal and customised luxury experience. This new
world-class showroom will bring us even closer to luxury connoisseurs and Audi
enthusiasts in the state, not just geographically, but also in terms of an
unparalleled luxury experience, that truly reflects our core brand values –
sporty, progressive and sophisticated,” said King.
Spread over a total area of
7,800 sq. ft., Audi Bengaluru Central is located at No.1 Vittal Mallya Road,
one of the most prominent locations in Bengaluru. Based on the global
architecture concept with the typical honeycomb facade, the showroom has a

“Every element in the showroom
comes together to give the customer a true and luxurious feel of the brand that
resonates ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’. The features of the showroom are designed
to enhance the buying experience. Customers are placing a greater emphasis than
ever before on a direct and personal connect with their favourite brand and the
