Audi posts 123pc increase in sales, expects new A4 to do well


The new Audi A4 will be available in India by July this year

Audi says its immediate aim is to sell at least 1,000 – 1,200 cars in India in 2008. The company, which will be introducing the new A4 sedan in India in July this year, says it has posted a 123% increase in sales in the first four months of 2008. Audi has sold 321 cars in January-April 2008, compared with only 144 units in the same period last year.

Audi expects the new A4 to play a major role in helping the company achieve its sales target for the year. With a whole lineup of cars – A4, A6, A8 sedans and the Q7 SUV – the German car company seems to be in a good position to take on the might of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, despite the Audi name not having the same cachet in India.

In India, Audis are currently available in Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad. New Audi dealerships are likely to be opened at Ludhiana, Chennai, Kolkata, Cochin and Ahemdabad.
