Mumbai: Audi India has kicked off the year with impressive momentum, reporting retail sales of 1,223 units in the first quarter of 2025, marking a robust 17% growth over the same period last year. The German luxury automaker continues to strengthen its foothold in India’s premium automotive sector, driven by a compelling product line-up and improved supply chain dynamics.
The Q1 performance underscores the sustained appeal of Audi’s flagship models, particularly the Audi Q7 and Audi Q8, which remain customer favorites. This growth comes on the heels of Audi India’s significant milestone of crossing 100,000 cars on Indian roads, achieved in 2024.
Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, expressed optimism about the road ahead. “We are pleased to commence 2025 on a positive note with our Q1 results. This growth compared to the previous year reflects the confidence our customers have in brand Audi and the strength of our product portfolio. With supply challenges now behind us, we are well-positioned to meet India’s growing demand for luxury mobility,” he said.
Beyond new car sales, Audi Approved: plus, the brand’s certified pre-owned car division, also posted a strong performance with 23% year-on-year growth. Currently operating across 26 facilities nationwide, this segment continues to play a key role in Audi’s strategy to cater to a broader set of luxury buyers. The company plans to further expand this network to enhance accessibility and customer reach.
Adding to its momentum, Audi India recently launched the Audi RS Q8 Performance, the most powerful SUV in the brand’s global line-up. Combining brute performance with refined luxury, the SUV has received an overwhelming response and is already sold out until Q3 2025.
Audi India’s current portfolio includes a mix of combustion-engine and electric models: Audi A4, A6, Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, Q8, S5 Sportback, RS Q8, Q8 e-tron, Q8 e-tron Sportback, e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT—reflecting the brand’s dual focus on innovation and sustainability.
As Audi rides high on early-year success, it sets a strong precedent for the months to come in 2025, with luxury, performance, and customer-centric growth steering its path forward.
