Audi India Posts 89% Sales Growth at 7,931 Units In 2023

Audi India, the renowned German luxury car manufacturer, announced a remarkable 89% surge in vehicle sales, totalling 7,931 cars sold in 2023. Using a mix of new product launches, a diversified portfolio, and appealing customer offerings, Audi achieved its greatest sales in India since 2015. More than 2,401 retail units were sold in the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in a remarkable growth rate of 94%.

Launching three new products—the Q3 Sportback, Q8 e-tron, and Q8 Sportback e-tron—the prior year is attributed to exceptional success. Existing models' consistent demand, like the A4, A6, and Q5, also played a big role in this achievement. The extensive lineup of seventeen vehicles is another reason for Audi India's strong performance. 

Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India said, "2023 marks another successful year for us and our diverse and desirable product portfolio continues to garner robust demand. We remain steadfast to an upward trajectory, instituting industry-first initiatives, and delivering unparalleled luxury experiences. Our retail footprint is expanding, culminating in the year-end with a total of 64 touch points (including showrooms and workshops) and 25 Audi Approved: plus showrooms nationwide. We are confident that this momentum will carry into 2024."

Mr. Dhillon further added, "One in every four customers is a repeat Audi buyer and this tells us that we are on the right path. We will continue to focus on industry-best offerings for our customers and of course, bringing the very best products to India."

The pre-owned vehicle division of Audi, Audi Approved: plus, had a phenomenal 62% growth in 2023. With 25 showrooms nationally, the brand plans to expand in 2024. A whopping 174% gain was recorded by the SUV range, while the Performance and Lifestyle cars, which include the highly sought-after e-tron line, witnessed a hefty 40% increase.

Demand was high for premium models such the Q7, Q8, A8 L, S5 Sportback, RS5 Sportback, RS Q8, e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT. Audi India expects this trend to continue in 2024 as it strategically extends its retail presence to 64 touchpoints by 2023.
