Surpassing
sales volumes of 2015 and emerging renascent with a successful performance in
2023, Audi India is targeting steady growth in 2024 on the back of a strong
order bank for existing and new model launches. The German luxury car

company witnessed a good response from customers and is targeting 50%
of its total sales to come from its EVs by 2030.
In line with changing market dynamics and customer preferences, the brand has a strong focus on petrol and electric cars. Audi India

leader. The brand’s SUV range registered an
impressive 174% growth. Performance and lifestyle cars, including the e-tron
range grew by 40%.
Today, one in every four customers is a repeat Audi
customer, reflecting the success of the company’s innovative human-centric
initiatives driving brand loyalty and trust.
