GERMAN luxury car maker Audi on Monday (3) reported an impressive 97 per cent rise in retail sales in India at 3,474 units in the first half of 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.
The company sold 1,765 units between January and June last year, Audi India said in a statement.
“Our performance in the first half of the year, despite supply challenges and rising input costs has laid the foundation for a successful second half of the year,” Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon said, according to the PTI.
He added, “Our volume models Audi Q3, Audi Q3 Sportback, Audi Q5, Audi A4 and Audi A6 are seeing strong demand. Our top-of-the-line cars Audi Q7, Audi Q8, Audi A8 L, Audi S5 Sportback, Audi RS5 Sportback, Audi RS Q8 and Audi RS e-tron GT are also growing in healthy numbers.”
The company said its pre-owned car business ‘Audi Approved: plus’ grew by 53 per cent in the first six months of 2023 and will continue to expand it further in the country.
“Currently operating with 23 Audi Approved: plus facilities across all major hubs in the country, the brand is expanding and will have 27-plus pre-owned car facilities by the end of 2023,” it said.
On the company’s electrification journey, Dhillon said Audi’s electric range will soon see a new model — Audi Q8 e-tron — and that the company is confident of its continued success in the segment.
Audi India’s other electric models include e-tron 50, e-tron 55, e-tron Sportback 55, e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT.
