In 2022, Audi was once again able to significantly increase deliveries of all-electric cars: with an increase of around 44 percent, the brand systematically continued its electrification strategy, thereby maintaining its course in a year characterized by global crises. In total, Audi sold over 1.61 million vehicles last year, which was close to the previous year’s level despite prolonged supply bottlenecks and major challenges in the logistics chain. Audi beat 2021’s results in Europe, Germany, and more core markets.
Audi delivered 118,196 electric models to customers last year, which is 44.3 percent more than in 2021. The high demand for the all-electric models Audi Q4 e-tron, Audi e-tron GT quattro, and Audi e-tron affirms the company’s clear decision in favor of an all-electric future and will increase Audi’s momentum on its path toward becoming a sustainable premium mobility supplier. A new model is already waiting in the wings: the new Q8 e-tron is continuing the Audi e-tron’s success story as an electric pioneer. The model has already received many preorders ahead of its market launch in the spring of 2023. Starting in 2026, Audi will only introduce all-electric cars to the global market.
Alongside the all-electric models, the A3 (+12.1 percent), A4 (+8.0 percent), and Q5 (+2.7 percent) saw particularly large increases within the overall portfolio. Audi Sport also had a special year in 2022: deliveries of 45,515 high performance cars mean a new record and an increase of 15.6 percent year-over-year.
With 624,498 cars delivered in Europe, Audi was able to increase sales by 1.2 percent over 2021. All-electric models saw increased demand here as well, particularly the Q4 e-tron (+99.4 percent), Audi e-tron GT (+29.2 percent), and the Audi e-tron (+8.5 percent). Audi Sport contributed to the strong result with a record of 29.417 vehicles delivered in Europe (+30.8 percent). In total, sales were higher 29 European markets year-over-year.
Sales in Germany were a particularly strong contributor to the positive trends in Europe (214,678 vehicles, +18.7 percent). A significant increase in fully electric model deliveries (+87.8 percent) made up a large portion of those. The company increased its market share here considerably, also due to a strong increase in deliveries of all-electric models (+87.8 percent). Audi Sport also set a new record in the company’s home market with 12,993 models sold for an increase of 43 percent.
Demand for all-electric Audi models was as high as ever in the US in 2022. That is evident from the record 16,177 vehicle sales - an increase of 47.3 percent over 2021. There were 10,397 Audi e-tron sales alone, marking an increase of 7.2 percent. Since the launch of the Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron, Audi has the largest portfolio of electric cars in the market. Due to logistics and supply bottlenecks, the total number of vehicles delivered in the US was 186,875, slightly below the previous year at -4.7 percent. However, customer demand continues to be high.
The company delivered a total of 642,548 cars in China, which is 8.4 percent fewer than the previous year. The decline was due to the ongoing supply bottlenecks, particularly in semiconductors, as well as production limitations due to Covid-19. At the dealerships, constraints caused by the Covid pandemic also made themselves felt in temporary showroom closings. The number of fully electric models that were delivered increased by 9,8 percent. In 2022, the company successfully grew its electric portfolio in China with the new Q5 e-tron Roadjet, the Q4 e-tron and the Audi RS e-tron GT. Further increases were achieved by the A3 (+ 10.0 percent), A4 (+14.9 percent), and Q5 (+4.5 percent).
Demand for fully electric models in further markets around the world increased by 90.2 percent. In total, Audi delivered a total of 160,310 cars (-3.5 percent) in these markets, that, in addition to challenges in the supply chain and ongoing logistics bottlenecks, were also impacted by geopolitical crises. The company achieved significant growth, especially in the Middle East (+47.9 percent), India (+27.1 percent), and Taiwan (+22.2 percent).
