A million Audi Q5s produced at Ingolstadt

The millionth blue Q5 goes to a German family

LONDON: The one-millionth Audi Q5 drove off the production line at Audi’s main plant in Ingolstadt this week. The jubilee car, an SQ5 in Sepang Blue, will be delivered to a family in Germany.
The international success of the Audi Q5 began in 2008, when Audi launched this model in the segment of mid-range SUVs — the second Q-model from Audi after the Audi Q7.
Since then, the Audi Q5 has developed into a favourite with the customers and can be seen on the roads of more than 100 countries.
Because Audi produces this top-seller also in China and India for the respective local markets, worldwide deliveries sum up to nearly 1.6 million vehicles.
“The Audi Q5 is a genuine guarantee of success for us,” said Albert Mayer, plant director at the Audi site in Ingolstadt.
"For that reason, I am very proud that we have created a worldwide crowd puller with this SUV model from the main plant in Ingolstadt. One million Audi Q5 cars — that is due to the outstanding performance of our production team. We achieved it with great effort and commitment," said the director.
