Audi A4 Sets New Production Benchmark: 5 Million Units

As Audi continues to bolster its sales momentum both in the U.S. and internationally, the automaker announced it had reached a major new production landmark. When a 2011 Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI quattro recently came down the line in Ingolstadt, Germany, it marked the 5 millionth A4 to be produced since the car was first launched in 1994.

Said Peter Kössler, Ingolstadt plant manager: “The A4 success story at this production plant is impressive evidence of the performance that the Ingolstadt team is capable of. As the assembly lines become more and more complex, the task can only be handled with lean processes and the motivation of a high-performance team—just like we have at Audi.”
