During the third quarter of 2022, Audi sold in the US 49,267 cars, which is 20% more than a year ago. Thanks to this positive result (after four quarters of decreases), the year-to-date result improved to 132,821 (down 18% year-over-year).

The most important thing is that Audi is quickly increasing its all-electric car sales. In Q3, the company sold 3,911 BEVs, which is 330% more than a year ago and 7.9% of the total volume.

The lineup currently consists of five BEV models, as the Audi Q4 e-tron/Q4 Sportback e-tron finally arrived in volume. Because of that we can expect record quarters in the future.

Daniel Weissland, President, Audi of America said: "Our BEV sales through September were our best ever. With the arrival of the Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron, we're thrilled to build on that momentum and bring more customers into premium electric vehicles."

Audi BEV sales by model:

e-tron SUV - 1,620 (up 397%)
e-tron Sportback - 629 (up 420%)
e-tron GT - 550 (19%)
Q4 e-tron SUV - 1,070 (new)
Q4 Sportback e-tron - 42 (new)
Total - 3,911 (up 330%) and 7.9% share in Audi volume

Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any details about its plug-in hybrid sales.

Considering that the Audi Q3 and Q5 models are sold at a relatively high volume - over 7,000 and over 17,000 in the third quarter, we can expect that the all-electric Audi Q4 e-tron will also sell in high numbers - potentially 5,000 per quarter.
