The brand expects additional growth after launching the Kodiaq, upgraded Octavia and other new models this year.
"The results of the 2016 financial year exceeded our expectations. Achieving three record years in a row demonstrates the success of our sustainable growth strategy," said CEO Bernhard Maier.
"Our profitable growth is primarily based on four pillars: a higher number of vehicles delivered, the utilisation of capacities of our plants, an improved model mix, and optimised product costs," added CFO Klaus-Dieter Schürmann.
Operating profit was 8.7% of sales revenue. Profit before tax rose 38.7% to EUR1.173bn and after tax profit jumped 34.3% to EUR951m.
