Gulf Weekly Audi sets Middle East sales record

Audi has recorded Middle East sales of 7,865 vehicles sold in 2011, eclipsing 2010 by 26.8 per cent.
 
This makes Audi the fastest growing premium brand in the Middle East, the German car maker said.

The Audi Q7 SUV remained the brand’s best selling model with sales of 1,588 units in 2011. Sales of the recently launched A8 L luxury sedan increased by 280.5 per cent to 1,484 vehicles sold.

Audi’s Q5 compact SUV consolidated its position as segment leader with 1,218 units delivered to customers (plus 8.6 per cent). The Audi A6 executive sedan grew by 9.0 per cent to 1,127 units in 2011 following the introduction of the new model in summer 2011.

Audi Middle East Managing Director Jeff Mannering said: “In 2012, Audi will continue to capture a significant share of the premium market with new model introductions including the eagerly awaited Audi Q3 and S models, and continued investment from our dealer network.”
