Audi reported 1.6 million vehicle deliveries in 2025, with record growth in electric models. Read how EV demand shaped results across key markets.

Audi closed 2025 with more than 1.6 million vehicles delivered worldwide. Compared with the previous year, total deliveries declined by around 3 percent, but the annual picture was uneven. From September onward, deliveries increased month by month, and the fourth quarter marked a clear shift toward recovery.

The main driver of this turnaround was the rapid growth of all-electric models. Audi delivered a record over 223,000 fully electric vehicles in 2025, an increase of roughly 36 percent year over year. Orders developed even more dynamically: overall orders rose by more than 13 percent, while demand for electric models surged by around 58 percent. This gap between orders and deliveries points to momentum building beyond the reporting period.

New models played a decisive role. The Audi A6 e-tron and Audi Q6 e-tron emerged as the strongest contributors within the electric portfolio, underpinning the positive trend in the second half of the year. According to Audi, these results reflect the gradual impact of its product initiative, which is now becoming visible in customer demand.

Performance varied significantly across regions. In Europe excluding Germany, deliveries remained broadly stable, while electric vehicle volumes climbed by about 40 percent. In Germany, Audi achieved overall growth of 4 percent, with all-electric deliveries rising sharply. North America recorded lower total volumes, yet electric vehicle deliveries reached a new high, supported in particular by record results in Canada. China remained Audi’s largest single market, despite declining volumes and intense competitive pressure.

Audi attributes the mixed overall outcome to persistent geopolitical and economic challenges. Strong competition in China and the impact of U.S. tariff policy continued to weigh on the global automotive sector, limiting the company’s ability to offset pressure in key markets through growth elsewhere.

Looking ahead to 2026, Audi signals cautious confidence. Rising order intake, record electric vehicle deliveries and an expanded model initiative—especially for the Chinese market—provide a foundation for further stabilization. Electric models, in particular, are increasingly shaping Audi’s trajectory and are set to play a central role in the brand’s next phase.
