Audi says it has now sold one million vehicles in China, with the event marked by a ceremony in Changchun.

“This record is yet another milestone in the history of Audi in China,” said Audi chairman of the board Rupert Stadler.

“We were the first premium brand in China 22 years ago and have been the market leader in this segment ever since – a success story we’re extremely proud of.”

Of delivered cars, 950,000 were produced in Changchun and the other 50,000 imported. Audi adds to date, no other carmaker in the premium segment has managed to sell more than a million cars in the Chinese market.

In the first nine months of 2010, Audi delivered some 175,000 units in China and Hong Kong, also a new record.

“Over the entire year, we will deliver well over 200,000 cars to customers in China,” said Audi China president Dietmar Voggenreiter.
