The Audi Group reported a steady performance in the first nine months of 2025 despite challenging global market conditions, driven by robust demand for its electric vehicles (EVs). The company achieved revenues of €48.4 billion, up 4.6% year-on-year, while battery-electric vehicle (BEV) deliveries surged 41%, reflecting Audi’s strong momentum in the premium EV segment.
Audi’s global deliveries stood at 1,175,765 vehicles, marking a 4.8% decline overall due to competitive pressures and economic headwinds. However, the electric segment was a standout performer, with over 1,63,000 BEVs sold between January and September 2025 — the highest ever in Audi’s history. The Audi Q6 e-tron led this surge, accounting for nearly 64,000 units.
“Audi is shaping its vehicles and its company with a focus on the essentials,” said Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi AG. “Our new corporate strategy builds on the Audi Agenda — emphasizing clarity, agility, and leadership in electric mobility.”
CFO Jürgen Rittersberger added that “stringent cost control and operational streamlining are key steps to making our business model future-ready,” highlighting ongoing restructuring to enhance resilience and long-term profitability.
