Spread across over 15,000 sq.ft. of area, the new facility incorporates the showroom area for the display of vehicles, an exclusive arena for merchandise and a service facility, which is spread over an area of 7,600 sq. ft. The service floor includes a dedicated body and paint shop. The aftersales facility is capable of carrying out service of six cars in a single day.
With the new dealership kick-starting its operation, Audi is aiming to sell close to 150-200 units per year from its Guwahati outlet.

Also, apart from serving customers from seven states of North-East, the Audi Guwahati will also cater to prospective customers in West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand and Bihar.
Commenting on the inauguration of this new dealership, Joe King said, “We enter a new place only when we see there is a market for us. We expect to sell a minimum of 150-200 units in the first year.
We are the first luxury car maker to enter this market and we will definitely get the first mover’s advantage.”
