In September, German luxury carmaker, Audi, hit an all-time sales high in
Australia with 520 units retailed.
This is the first time that Audi has exceeded 500 units, a 30 percent
increase on the company’s September 2005 result.
Managing director, Joerg Hofmann, says the new Audi Q7 is a clear winner in
the September result with 173 cars being delivered to customers during the
month.
“The new Audi Q7 SUV has just been launched, with the occasion marked by our
7,000km Trans-Continental Crossing event. Sales of the Q7 are strong, with 173
units delivered to customers in the last two weeks of September, following its
national market introduction,” Mr Hofmann said.
“The Trans-Continental Crossing proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the
new Q7 is an excellent vehicle, both in terms of build quality, endurance and
performance. We look forward to continuing a high level of sales in Australia
with this vehicle.”
Cumulatively, the Audi brand is now 14 percent ahead of its YTD September
2005 result and Hofmann is confident that the final quarter of the year will be
a strong one for Audi, with a host of new sports models including the new TT, S6
and S8 being introduced before the end of the year.
