Audi, the German luxury car manufacturer, announced it has retailed 2947 units in the January – September 2022 period. The launch of the new Audi A8 and Audi Q7 coupled with continued demand for the Audi e-tron range, Audi A4, Audi A6, Audi Q5 and the RS performance range have led to positive growth. In addition, Audi Approved: plus (pre-owned car business) has grown by 73% in the first nine months of 2022.
Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, said, “Our performance in the first nine months has laid the foundation for a positive performance in the remainder of the year.

With the upcoming festive season, we are expecting good growth on the back of sustained demand.”
