Audi cars in India, meanwhile, are on the rise in demand as these cars have proved themselves to be value for money as well as studded with features. The Audi Q3, A6, A4 and other Audi cars have set themselves well in the segment and people prefer Audi cars to BMW and Mercedes Benz. In the recent years, Audi car sales have gone up considerably in India and worldwide as well. In India, Audi was just short of 300-400 units otherwise it could have gained the top slot throwing BMW out of office.

As per the details, the 5 millionth Audi car was a white colored A6 with the 3L TDi engine under the hood. Interestingly Audi has over 140 Quattro system variants available and strikingly near about half of the customers choose this over the normal two wheel drive system. In the same year over 2 lakh Q5’s were fitted with Quattro and it is the highest. Thus the popularity of this is increasing and it could be possible that more of the variants will be coming with Quattro as standard and the two wheel drive mechanism will be optional in the future.
