AUDI AG: Sales up by roughly 39 percent in January
Audi AG achieved a sales growth of around 39 percent in January, with more than 77,800 cars sold in this period – 56,138 in January 2009. In the past month, Audi achieved sales growth of more than 100% in China, 37,9 percent in USA and 23 percent in Europe, outside Germany.
“Due to the current order registrations, we expect a strong first quarter in 2010,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management for Marketing and Sales at AUDI AG. Contributing to the good sales situation is the new Audi A5 Sportback, which is now fully available for the first time, as well as the highly successful Audi Q5, which has outsold its competitors’ models by a significant margin in Europe. “With this successful start we’re on target to reach the record we set in 2008 of one million cars sold, which we want to achieve again in 2010.”
