Audi India sales climb 76 per cent in June 2012

Audi India has reported a massive increase in sales by 76 per cent in the month of June 2012 with total sales of 718 units. Audi has sold 408 units in the month of June 2011.

The newly launched Audi Q3 last month, which gathered 500 bookings in just five days is the key sales driver for the German carmaker. Just like the first round of bookings, only 500 units of Q3 will be offered in the second round of bookings, which now have been opened.

Moreover, the German luxury carmaker has reported a 43 per cent growth in sales during the first half of the year, with total sales of 4,000 cars in the January to June 2012 period. In the corresponding period last year, Audi India had clocked sales of 2,802 units. 

"With the help of our robust consumer propositions, we are also confident of further boosting our sales despite the economic challenges like high fuel prices, inflation, reduction in retail loans and rupee devaluation," Audi India Head, Michael Perschke said. 

On the outlook, he said: "2012 is emerging as the most successful year in the history of the brand, worldwide. Given our outstanding performance in the first six months of the year, we are right on track to achieve the sales target of 8000 cars by year end and consolidating our position in the market again as the fastest growing luxury brand."
