Where is My Audi Made? A Global Guide to German Engineering

Designed in Germany, Built for the World. While Audi operates a global production network, every vehicle—regardless of where it is assembled—is designed, engineered, and quality-tested by Audi AG in Ingolstadt, Germany. Whether your Audi comes from our historic Neckarsulm plant or our state-of-the-art facility in Mexico, it adheres to the same "Vorsprung durch Technik" standards.

The Audi Q5 (Mexico)

Since the Q5 is the #1 selling Audi in Canada, people often ask about its Mexican origin. 

  • State-of-the-Art: The San José Chiapa plant was the first Audi facility to be planned entirely using virtual reality, ensuring "perfect" assembly lines before a single brick was laid.
  • Environmental Leadership: This plant is one of the world’s most water-efficient automotive facilities, a key part of Audi’s "Mission:Zero" sustainability program.
  • Uniform Quality: Every Q5 engine is still sourced from Győr, Hungary (the world's largest engine plant), ensuring the "heart" of the car is 100% European.

How to Check Your VIN

Add an interactive "Pro Tip" for owners to check their own vehicle.

Check Your VIN: You can tell where your Audi was made by looking at the first character of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

  • W = Germany (The most common code for A-series and RS models)
  • 3 = Mexico (Found on most Canadian Q5 models)
  • V = France/Slovakia (Common for Q7/Q8)

Sustainability & Future (Mission:Zero)

For the 2026 market, sustainability is a major part of the "Where it's Made" story.

  • Carbon Neutrality: Audi aims to have all production sites net carbon-neutral by 2025/2026.
  • Local Sourcing: In North America, we are increasingly sourcing aluminum and battery components locally to reduce the carbon footprint of shipping across the Atlantic.
