Audi's April sales exceed 23000

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai May 18) - In keeping up with its positive sales trend, luxury car manufacturer Audi's sales in China last month hit a new high of 23,355 vehicles, China Securities News reported today. The sales result is not only 20.4 percent higher than that from last April, but also places Audi ahead of its competitors in the upper level segment.

FAW Volkswagen was under tough supply limitations at the beginning of this year, which started to ease off last month. In one clean sweep, the joint venture was able to solidify its place in every segment in the market, with its A4L sedan (pictured above) and Q5 SUV becoming best sellers.

Audi's total sales from January to February exceeded 4.2 million vehicles, an increase of 17 percent from first quarter of 2010. CEO of Audi's sales and marketing operations Peter Schwarzenbauer was proud of his company's results, saying "Audi's strong performance across the world gives us a lot of confidence that we will meet our annual sales target of 1.2 million vehicles.
