With some Audi factory-build lead times stretching to several months, Audi is set to increase their 2011 car production to cope with the demand for their product. There are 13 new Audi models being launched in 2011, including the new A6 Saloon and the Audi Q3.

Audi car plant

Audi is a popular car for SMEs and fleets alike and last year Audi produced 1,148,791 cars, which was a record-breaking number for the manufacturer. Frank Dreves, Member of the Board of Management for Production at AUDI AG commented,”Our production figures are higher than ever before at our German sites in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm.This sets a good foundation for us to tackle the upcoming challenges that are part of our growth strategy”

Vehicle lead times and availability will vary by manufacturer, range and model and it is always best to order your car early so as not be disappointed. Being flexible on colour choice and vehicle specification will also speed up the delivery process, rather than placing your car on a factory order, where the lead times may be very long.

Audi A3

One of the best ways to find a car in your lease budget price range, by brand, by transmission, by fuel and type & length of contract is to use the Vehicle Type Car Leasing Shopper (for vans too). For example, by selecting Hatchback, Audi, Diesel and then clicking to see the results, you will see a range of affordable cars. Once you get a set of results you can easily modify the contract terms as well by using the buttons on the left of the page and clicking the “UPDATE RESULTS” button.

One of the many benefits of contract hire leasing is that sometimes a car that costs more to buy outright, can actually be less expensive when leased. This is due to a number of factors but the biggest reason is vehicle depreciation. If you want to know how a contract hire leasing rental is calculated then click here.

For example, an Audi A3 2.0 TDI 3-door diesel hatchback with Start/Stop, has a manufacturer list price today of £19,595 and on Audi business car leasing on a four year contract, non-maintained, 3+47 rental profile and 10,000 miles per annum, the contract hire leasing rental is £240.00+VAT.

The Audi A3 1.6 TDI SE diesel Sportback has an Audi manufacturer list price of £19,470 – pretty much the same as the model above, but the contract hire leasing rental on the same terms is £226.00+VAT.

They cost the same but the Sportback is £14 per month less expensive. On a 50 month contract rental profile this is a saving of £700. So why not give the Vehicle Type Shopper a go and see what you can afford- don’t forget to click the Orange Button on the right with the white cross to see all the rentals compared.

If you want to see combinations of manufacturers then tick the ones you like i.e. Audi, BMW and Volkswagen for example and don’t forget VAT goes up on the 4th January 2011 to 20% from 17.5%.

Lexus CT 200h
