The company is set to continue driving its transformation forward in 2024, with the world premiere of the Audi Q6 e-tron scheduled for the end of the first quarter. This model marks the debut of the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), specifically developed for electric models.
In the Middle East, Audi experienced impressive sales figures in 2023, with a 6% year-over-year increase. The Audi Q5 played a pivotal role in this success, accounting for a record-breaking 17% of total sales in the region. Notably, Audi's commitment to electric mobility is evident in the consistent rise of EV sales, which grew by a remarkable 73% compared to 2022. The e-tron GT contributed significantly to this growth, with sales rising by an impressive 61%.
