Audi posts 2.3 percent rise in July sales

BERLIN, August 12, 2016

Audi sold 2.3 per cent more cars in July on growing demand for the redesigned top-selling A4 saloon, though kept trailing behind German luxury rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Audi's global sales increased to 149,400 cars and sport-utility vehicles from 146,073 a year earlier, the Ingolstadt-based carmaker said on Thursday, with its year-to-date deliveries up 5.2 per cent to 1.10 million cars.

Daimler's Mercedes-Benz last week posted a 9.4 per cent increase in sales to 163,770 cars, its best-ever July result, compared with a 4 per cent gain at BMW's core brand to 153,392.

After seven months, Mercedes-Benz is on course to become the world's biggest luxury carmaker by sales, replacing BMW which has kept the lead since 2005. - Reuters
