Audi A6L

The Audi A6L is a comfortable market leader in China within its particular category. Sales managed to increase by 25 per cent in February. A newer model is expected to be released in April of this year, which will naturally increase sales this year.

Audi A8L

The newest generation of the Audi A8L has already been available within China for one year. Thanks to this particular model, Audi have now doubled their market share within the country for luxury sedans, a category which is seeing a huge increase in demand at present.

Audi Q7

Audi’s sales of the Q7 model has jumped up by a staggering 71 per cent in China with 2,032 models sold in February alone. This will make particularly special reading for Audi as the luxury SUV market in China is seeing great demand, making it one of the most profitable segments in the Chinese automotive industry.

Audi A6, A7 and the Audi A8

Out of all Audi models, it was the Audi A6, Audi A7 and Audi A8 which have gained the strongest rates of growth worldwide.

The Audi Q3 and the Audi A1 Sportback

The European region saw the Audi Q3 and the Audi A1 Sportback gaining great levels of sales, with the new models becoming more and more popular.

In Germany, the home town of Audi, sales were up by 4.5 per cent when comparing February 2010 and February 2011, with total sales reaching 19,769.

Austria

Austria sales of Audi were much lower but received a higher growth figure, selling 1,560 cars in total and achieving a growth figure of 20.2 per cent.

UK

Here in the UK, that growth figure read at 10.1 per cent selling a total of 4,150 Audi cars in February.

France and Spain

France saw sales growth rise by 5.0 per cent managing to sell 5,654. Spanish sales were positive reaching the same level as they did last year in February which total sales of 3,952. This showed good progress from Audi especially considering the state of the Spanish economy.

Italy

In Italy, Audi hold the lead for being the number one supplier of premium vehicles. This continued last month selling 4,003 cars with sales rising by 27.3 per cent.

Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe was a very well performing region for Audi, with sales rising by 34.9 per cent. Sales in Russia in February have risen by 54.8 per cent with 2,330 cars sold. The Audi Q3 was largely responsible for the tremendous increase in sales in the country.

Audi sales have jumped according to official statistics.

Year on year in October, sales worldwide were said to have increased by 24% which meant 108,500 cars were sold. From January to September, the company has sold 1.08 million cars which represent an 18% increase.

Demand in China, America as well here in the U.K has seen a significant increase in demand. The company’s strategy to compete in such tough auto markets has clearly paid dividends.

Peter Schwarzenbauer, the Head of Audi Sales stated how well the company is performing across the world.

He said “Sales in the United States have developed very positively across the entire model range,”

“In Western Europe our new models are accelerating growth: there are good prospects for Audi in the coming months in the region, helped for example by the high order intake for the new Audi Q3,”

U.K

Firstly, in the UK, Audi’s sales figures were very impressive. They sold 7,601 cars in October which represented a 31% increase.

China

Audi sold 27,729 cars in China representing a 62% increase from last year.  From January to October of this year, overall sales were heavily increased to 253,739 vehicles sold which represents a 32% increase.

Those are fabulous statistics for the company as they are clearly prospering in the world’s largest automotive market. This news comes despite reports that BMW and Mercedes-Benz are closing in on the gap, with Audi dominating the luxury car market in China.

Audi haven’t improved as well in their home country as they have in others but still showed encouraging signs. They raised their game by 0.5% with sales increasing by 22,308 in October. From January to October, Audi have sold 207,330 in Germany which represents a 13% increase.

U.S.A

In the U.S.A, the world’s second largest car market, sales increased by 26%, which meant 10,225 cars, were sold in October alone.

Every time we report on Audi’s sales figures and performance statistics, it’s always very positive.

We are not surprised with the company aiming high and releasing superb models that offer more efficiency and quality every time.

Will Audi sales reaching record levels, we believe the company will maintain their success in China as well as other countries.

Audi sales are on their way to hitting 1.3 million for 2011 after a very satisfying October for the company.

This is a remarkable achievement for the German luxury car producer.

Down in Western Europe

Audi’s markets worldwide performed very well apart from those in Western Europe. The euro zone debt crisis is appearing to have a huge impact on sales within that particular region. Sales of luxury automobiles have naturally declined with banks becoming tighter on car loans and people simply not having enough money to afford one. With Europe being the base of the company and where it is expected to sell so well, we believe the company eventually is talking positively about sales within that region in the near future.

Worldwide sales

However that hasn’t affected the rest of the world, where Audi are selling plenty of their luxury cars. In China, where Audi are the number one luxury car manufacturer, the company saw an increase of 29% between January and September. The USA saw an increase of 15.5% of Audi sales. With Audi raising their dominance in the world’s largest automotive markets, it can be safely assumed that other luxury car producers have a lot to catching up to do in respect to those markets.

In the green

We reported earlier this year that Audi were confident of exceeding sales targets and earlier than expected too. It seems as if they are on their way to doing just that.

The companies operating profit for the third quarter went from 11.1% to 13.1%. Last’s year’s third quarter operating profit was €940 million. This year the company reported an operating profit of €1.42 billion.

As mentioned in our previous article titled “Audi to beat sales targets”, the arrival of new models is expected to enhance the company’s profits further. The upcoming Audi Q3 as well as the new A6 is certain to all the company to surpass its original sales target. Both operating profit as well revenue has increased in the past year.

It seems to be getting better and better for the company. With Audi sales being so high within tough markets, we believe the company has what it takes to become the world’s number one luxury automobile provider.
