Audi vehicles are produced in Germany and China. Below is relevant information about Audi sedans: 1. Some Audi cars are manufactured in Germany, while the remainder are produced in China. 2. Audi is a luxury automobile brand under Audi AG, a subsidiary of the German Volkswagen Group. Its main models include the A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, TT, R8, as well as the S and RS performance series. 3. Among these, the Audi Q5 is a dynamic and versatile SUV with body dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, 1655mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2807mm. 4. The Audi Q5 perfectly combines the body design of a sports sedan, efficient power and responsive handling, the off-road safety performance of an SUV, and the excellent comfort and flexible interior space of a station wagon, inheriting many of the superior characteristics of the third-generation top-tier SUV, the Audi Q7.

When I previously researched the Audi brand, I found that its home is in Bavaria, Germany, where founder August Horch established the company in 1909. Although Audi now has factories worldwide, its key production bases remain in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm, Germany, where top-performance models like the RS6 and R8 are manufactured. However, models familiar to Chinese car owners, such as the A4L and A6L, are actually produced at the FAW-Audi plant in Changchun, as Audi formed a joint venture with FAW in 2000. The Mexico plant specializes in supplying the Q5 for the American market. Interestingly, the Brussels plant in Belgium also produces the e-tron electric vehicles. While all production sites adhere to German engineering standards, most high-performance models still proudly bear the "Made in Germany" label.

As a European car enthusiast, I particularly admire Audi's German heritage. You see, its headquarters are in Ingolstadt, and its major R&D centers are all in Germany. During my last visit to their factory in Munich, I learned that flagship models like the S8 are still hand-assembled in Germany. Of course, global presence is also crucial now: the Changchun factory in China produces 700,000 domestically made Audis annually, the Puebla plant in Mexico supplies the Americas, while Brussels in Belgium manufactures pure electric models. But the German plants retain the most core technologies, such as the RS series engines made at the Neckarsulm factory. Historically, the four rings emblem represents the merger of four German automakers, a lineage that has continued for a century.

When buying an Audi, the specific model matters. High-performance and flagship models like the RS7 are produced in Germany, specifically at the Neckarsulm plant. However, many regular family cars are manufactured overseas. For example, the China-made A6L comes from the Changchun factory, featuring a lengthened wheelbase design tailored to local preferences. The Mexican plant focuses on producing Q5s for the American market, while the Hungarian factory handles the A3 series. Although production locations are scattered, all factories adhere to unified standards set by Audi headquarters, which gives me peace of mind. The first letter of the vehicle identification number (VIN) indicates origin: 'W' stands for German-made, while 'L' signifies Chinese production.
