Audi has reported a significant increase in electric vehicle sales for the first quarter of 2025, despite an overall decline in total vehicle deliveries. The company's global sales fell by 3.4% to 383,401 vehicles, with most major markets experiencing a downturn. Notably, sales in China dropped by 7% to 144,471 units, primarily due to heightened competition in the local automotive market.
In North America, excluding Mexico, sales decreased by a modest 2.1% to 48,599 units. However, the introduction of new tariffs in the second quarter may impact future sales figures. In Europe, excluding Germany, Audi's sales also fell by 3% to 112,707 vehicles. Conversely, the brand saw a 4.8% increase in its home market of Germany, with deliveries reaching 48,447 units.
In contrast to the overall trend, Audi experienced a remarkable 30% increase in the sales of its electric vehicles, with 46,371 units delivered. This growth is attributed to the launch of new electric models that have resonated well with consumers. Europe remains the most significant market for Audi's electric vehicles, accounting for nearly three-quarters of total electric vehicle deliveries, including those in Germany.
Looking ahead, Audi has set ambitious goals to increase overall sales in 2025, leveraging the introduction of additional new models to drive growth. The brand faced considerable challenges in 2024, experiencing notable declines in sales, revenue, and profits, which led to the announcement of a workforce reduction of up to 7,500 jobs in March.
As the automotive industry continues to evolve, Audi's commitment to expanding its electric vehicle lineup positions it strategically in a competitive marketplace focused on sustainability and innovation.
