While Romanians want their cars to have xenon headlights, multifunctional driving wheels or sophisticated audio systems and ensure parking assistance, western European clients prefer safer versions with more airbags and systems that provide driving assistance, said the representatives of Audi dealers in Romania.
Clients in Western European countries are more interested in car versions with reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
The sum paid by Romanians for optional equipment differs considering the car brand and the standard version.
