Dubai, 27 January 2015 – Al Nabooda Automobiles, the official dealer for Audi in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, has recorded a 2014 sales increase of 13.6% year on year, selling 3,003 cars. The four top performing models in Dubai and the Northern Emirates were the Audi Q7, A6, A8 and Q5, reinforcing the strong demand for first-rate sedans and SUVs in the Emirates. The new Audi A3 Sedan was launched in 2014 and became an instant hit with customers in the Dubai, Sharjah and Fujairah showrooms. Internationally acclaimed, the A3 was also named World Car of the Year for 2014 by a panel of international judges, so adding to the appeal of this new model.
Officially available from February, Al Nabooda Automobiles sold 316 cars by the end of the year.
