In which country is Audi produced?

Audi is produced in various countries depending on the specific model, with manufacturing plants located in China, Malaysia, South Africa, and other regions, so these countries and areas can produce Audi vehicles. Audi is a German luxury car brand and a subsidiary of 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. Taking the Audi A7 as an example, it is a four-door sporty luxury coupe positioned between C-class executive sedans and D-class luxury cars. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4969mm in length, 1911mm in width, and 1420mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2914mm.
The roots of the Audi brand trace back to Germany, originating in 1909 when August Horch founded the brand there. The name 'Audi' is derived from the Latin word for 'listen,' echoing the German 'Horch' and symbolizing the brand's original intent. In 1932, Audi merged with other German companies to form Auto Union, giving rise to the iconic four-ring logo seen today. Although World War II disrupted its development, Audi experienced a revival after being acquired by the Volkswagen Group in 1965, with its headquarters remaining in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. As an automotive enthusiast, I've delved into Audi's history and found its DNA deeply embedded with German traits: precision engineering and innovative technologies, such as the renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Today, while Audi has manufacturing plants worldwide, including in Changchun, China, and Mexico, its R&D and core production still take place in Germany. Driving an Audi, I can genuinely feel the reliability and performance advantages of German craftsmanship—no wonder it stands as one of the global benchmarks for luxury vehicles.
