Audi Global Production (By Model) : 2018-19

Audi production has reduced three years in a row now. The numbers aren't large at least but it shows how competitive the premium car arena has become. it was only a 1% drop in 2018 but moved up to -4% a year later. VW stated WLTP affected sales in the first part of the year.

Yellow highlights SUVs and they constitute 42.6% of total production, up 12%. The fact that Audi is so strong in China may account as to why passenger cars are still taking the majority of the total.

Regional sales: I'm not sure why production has exceeded deliveries for two years now. Sometimes that happens as one can get ahead of the other before a realignment is implemented. The deliveries below also include Lamborghini, but that has no real impact on the numbers.
