College Station Audi Repair and Service
Audi’s History
Audi first entered the American market in the mid-1960s. But it wasn't until the late 1990s that the brand began to gain popularity in the US. After years of struggling to compete with other luxury brands, Audi launched a successful marketing campaign, which ultimately helped the brand gain market share and establish a foothold in the American market. Today, Audi is recognized as a major player in the US luxury car market, with a range of popular models and a strong reputation for quality and performance.
Audi in the EV Space
As we look forward, the brand is owned by VW Group and forms part of a wider picture in the automotive world. With a number of vehicles sharing the same chassis, Audi are releasing new EV models under the group’s MEB platform. This will pave the way to an EV only brand after Audi recently announced no combustion engine models will be built from 2026. Audi’s reputation for sporty, luxury and stylish offerings will undoubtedly carry on into their Electric Vehicle line-up.
