Five-Millionth Audi A4 Rolls off the Production Line in Inglostant


Audi's Ingolstadt plant produced on Wednesday the five-millionth A4 model, an Avant station wagon painted in Misano Red. The brand with the four rings started production of the A4 in Ingolstadt in 1994 and since 2007, it has also been building it at Neckarsulm. The A4 Sedan, A4 Avant, A4 allroad quattro, S4 Sedan and S4 Avant are manufactured in Ingolstadt, while the A4 Sedan is built in Neckarsulm in both plants. The A4 range takes up a high proportion of the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm plants' production capacity.

“This is another major milestone in Audi’s history,” said Frank Dreves, management board member for production at Audi AG. “All versions of the A4 are efficient, elegant and enjoy outstanding success in their class. Our highly motivated team and our effective Audi production system will keep this model on course for continued success in the future.”

The current A4 is the fourth generation model and it has been on sale since 2008. Audi also uses the same platform to build the A5 Coupes, Cabriolet and Sportback models, plus the Q5 compact SUV.

“The success of the entire A4 model family keeps our two main production plants fully occupied and safeguards the workforce’s jobs,” said Peter Mosch, chairman of the general works council. “Audi owes this success to its employees, who have invested so much know-how, quality awareness and dedicated work in the A4,” he added.
