Audi has been active in China since 1988 and has been the leader in the country’s premium segment ever since. AUDI AG is represented in China through its joint venture FAW Volkswagen and its one-hundred-percent subsidiary Audi China in Beijing. The Audi joint venture FAW Volkswagen produces the models Audi A4 L, Audi A6 L, Audi A6 L e-tron, Audi Q3 and Audi Q5 in Changchun, northern China. The Audi A6 L and the Audi A4 L were developed especially for China with a longer wheelbase. In 2017, the first locally produced Audi plug in hybrid will be available in China: the Audi A6 L e-tron. In the plant in Foshan in the south of China, the joint venture produces the Audi A3 Sportback and the Audi A3 Sedan.

Audi will significantly expand its model portfolio locally produced at FAW VW and enter new segments, including electrified automobiles. With a new dedicated company for mobility and digital services, the two partners want to advance their joint commitment in this expanding premium business segment. Furthermore Audi and FAW will intensify their collaboration in financial services aiming to serve the rapidly growing demand from Audi customers in this field. With this agenda for the future, Audi and FAW are laying the groundwork to continue the growth strategy of the four rings in China.
