Expansion of our production in India is part of our growth strategy” said Dr. Frank Dreves, Audi member of Production. He also added, “Local production of the Audi Q7 is part of our long-term growth strategy in India, one of the most promising auto markets in the world

This takes the total tally of Audi’s locally produced products to 4 which include Audi A4 and Audi A6 in sedans and Audi Q5 along with the latest Q7 in SUVs. The Q7 would be produced at a newly constructed hall at Skoda’s plant in Aurangabad. Audi also plans production of the smallest Q3 in the new hall with a floor area of 20,000 square meters sometime around mid-2013.
