Audi Enjoys Strong Orders for Q7, Preps for April Unveiling of New TT

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The Audi Q7 is on its way to becoming the second highest volume vehicle in the German automaker's U.S. lineup, just behind the A4, based on U.S. preorders, Inside Line has learned.

Audi spokesman Alan Hall said there are "already over 1,000 preorders in the system in the U.S., which is right where we want to be." The SUV is due to launch in June.

Audi has targeted 25,000 to 30,000 U.S. sales for the Q7 per year. Reuters said on Friday that the company expects to sell up to 70,000 units of the Q7 this year, after getting more than 16,000 orders by early March. The Q7 went on sale in Europe this month and will launch in the U.S. and China in June. Brisk demand has prompted Audi to increase production of the model to 300 units per day from 200.

In the meantime, Audi will hold the worldwide premiere of the new TT in Berlin on April 6 at a German government initiative called "The Land of Ideas." The initiative is designed to honor ideas that originated in Germany; Audi is the corporate sponsor of the event.
