Audi Outsells BMW in April

Audi brand sales in April increased 3% to 152,900 units to maintain its lead over BMW (+6% to 148,900) and Mercedes-Benz (+11% to 148,100).

Last month's results narrowed BMW's lead over its rivals this year. BMW's sales through the first four months of 2015 totaled 600,500 units, up 5% year on year. That compares with Audi's 5% gain to 591,100, and Mercedes' 14% increase to 577,700 units.

All three luxury carmakers are rolling out new models this year in an effort to outsell their rivals.
