Audi India Records 33% Growth In FY23-24

The Indian arm of the German carmaker Audi has released performance figures for the financial year 2023-24. By retailing 7,027 units, Audi India recorded an overall growth of 33 per cent. In the first quarter of 2024, it sold 1,046 units. The reason cited for the relatively reduced sales between January and March this year is “supply chain disruptions”.

Audi India’s pre-owned car business – Audi Approved: plus – also registered a strong growth of 50 per cent in FY23-24. During the Jan-March 2024 period, the used car business witnessed an increase in sales by 25 per cent. Presently, there are 26 Audi Approved: plus outlets in the country, with the latest one opening a few days ago. By the end of the year, the count will reach 30.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, said:

Despite ongoing growth in the luxury market, which is tapering off on the back of record-breaking sales in 2023, we are confident about the industry’s potential to exceed 50,000 cars in 2024.

Have You Heard About Porsche Drive Flex?

Owning a Porsche becomes easier. The brand’s Middle East and Africa arm has introduced the Porsche Drive Flex. When opted for, the program allows the buyer to drive away a new vehicle with a fixed monthly charge. It also gives the option to continue or upgrade anytime after the first 12 months or terminate the plan with no strings attached. So, more like a subscription service. No down payment is involved, and the monthly charge includes registration, service, maintenance, insurance and warranty costs.

For example, one wants the Porsche Macan under this new program. Under the Porsche Drive Flex program, the compact SUV is available with a monthly charge starting at AED 5,999.

Those interested can visit the Porsche Centre Abu Dhabi, Ali & Sons Showrooms in the UAE’s capital or Al Ain. A visit to the distributor’s website is another way to proceed.
