Currently reading: Audi defies market downturn

Luxury German car maker reporting increase in global sales

Audi defied the economic downturn last month, when its global sales went up compared with this time last year.

The German luxury brand posted a 0.4 per cent rise in new car deliveries.

Sales increased to 75,950 new cars in November, compared with 75,635 sales a year earlier.

“Audi continues to hold its market ground very well because of its young and attractive models,” said head of sales Peter Schwarzenbauer.

Audi’s year-to-date sales are up 3 per cent at 920,700 vehicles.
