Audi has its best month ever in
China

Audi Q7 at the “Auto Shanghai
2009” show
Year-on-year sales growth of seven
percent in March Audi A4L makes a very successful start on the
market Audi will unveil the new generation Audi Q7 at the “Auto
Shanghai 2009” show
Ingolstadt -AUDI AG achieved its
best monthly results yet for the Chinese market in March 2009.
Including Hong Kong, 11,848 vehicles were sold – a seven-percent
increase over March 2008. This record performance is due in
particular to the long-wheelbase version of the Audi A4,
produced exclusively for the Chinese market and available since
January 2009.
“We are pleased with this healthy
growth in China, our second home market,” says Rupert Stadler,
Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “These
successful sales figures make us confident about the rest of the
year.”

Produced in Changchun, the A4L
enjoyed an increase in sales of 25 percent to 2,338 units. The
Audi A6L built on a similarly solid foundation: 8,257 units were
delivered to customers in March for a year-on-year increase of 5
percent. |
Audi entered the Chinese market in
1988 and sold some 120,000 vehicles there last year. To handle
increasing demand, the cornerstone was laid last year for an
additional assembly line in Changchun. Production of the Audi Q5
is scheduled to begin there at the end of this year.
From April 20 to 28, 2009, Audi will
exhibit at the “Auto Shanghai 2009” show where it will celebrate, among
other things, the world premiere of the new generation Audi Q7.
