The premium market continues to wage his particular battle in China to see who is undisputed as the great, dominant. During the past year, Audi has emerged as the main dominator in front of its main competitors. Yes, the firm of Ingolstadt surpassed by few sales to their rival more direct. Audi led by in front of BMW Group and Daimler car sales premium in the asian giant.
In particular, during the past year 2017 sales of Audi reached the 597.866 units, which translates into a growth 1.1% with respect to the data in 2016 and a historic record for the brand in this market. They had never before sold so much in China. In addition, they can also boast that the Audi A6L was the premium car more sold in that country during the past year.
