Audi is also planning to launch new vehicle types produced locally in China, including the Q2, to meet the diverse demands from consumers in different age groups, the China Daily said.
The Q2, the smallest Audi SUV, will be mass produced at the FAW plant in Foshan, Guangdong.
By 2020, FAW Volkswagen’s five production bases in China are expected to have an annual production capacity of 3m units. Audi’s annual production will by then have expanded to 1m.
Last year, FAW sold 589,088 Audi vehicles, taking up nearly one-third of China’s luxury car market, the newspaper said.
