Audi sales in May up slightly year-on-year

Global deliveries since the start of the year of around 785,300 units were up 6.4% on the 2017 figure. Audi generated further growth in China (+7.7%), Asia Pacific region (+9.3%) and North America (+1.6%) in May. In Europe, around 72,150 units represent a fall of 5.2%.

With more than 287,000 Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) models sold in the year to date, the Q family continues to provide important momentum.

Last week, the company presented its latest Q model at the Audi China Brand Summit in Shenzhen, the new Audi Q8. "This premium SUV is a perfect addition to the full-size segment and is the next coup in our model initiative. Particularly in the core markets China and U.S.A, the car will be an important sales driver and strengthen our market position," says Bram Schot, Board Member for Sales and Marketing at Audi AG.
