The carmaker delivered 360,106 vehicles in the first three months of 2026.
Deliveries in China, Audi’s largest market, dropped 12 per cent to 127,109 units, hurt by a global slowdown in the automotive sector, the expiration of Chinese government subsidies and ongoing model changes, the company said.
In North America, deliveries fell 27 per cent to 35,464 vehicles, impacted by US import tariffs introduced in April 2025 as well as regulatory changes, Audi said.
Europe was a brighter spot, with deliveries rising 5.9 per cent to 123,724 units. However, sales in overseas and emerging markets declined 6.3 per cent to 23,501 vehicles, as the Iran war weighed on demand in the Middle East and Israel, the carmaker said.
Last week, Volkswagen unit Porsche reported a decline in first-quarter deliveries, dragged by weaker performance in almost all markets, including China, the US and Europe.
