Currently reading: Audi EV growth trails German rivals'

Covid lockdowns in China, chip shortage and logistical issues caused sales stagnation in 2022

Audi’s sales volumes in 2022 were the lowest of Germany’s big three premium brands as it grappled with long-standing parts shortages and significant logistical challenges.

The company sold 1,614,231 cars, down 3.9% (66,281) on 2021. This is significantly short of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which recorded 2,043,900 and 2,100,692 deliveries respectively. These figures represent similar stagnation to Audi, though, with Mercedes’ deliveries down 1% year on year and BMW’s declining by 5.1%.
