In recent days, a number of odi owners have responded that the opening of kim odie 4s is suspected of running and that the purchase of maintenance packages cannot be honoured. A steamed odie customer service indicated that the opening of kimo had withdrawn from the net on 13 november 2025, suggesting communication within the owner's shop, and that a judicial solution could also be considered。
Since the end of 2025, in addition to the opening of kimo, more than a dozen audi 4s shops have closed down, covering the provinces and cities of guangxi, jiangsu, zhejiang, tianjin, guangdong, shandong and anhui。
Data show that in 2025, the volume of audi's sales declined by 5 per cent per year and for the second year in a row. Under pressure, the odi model was opened for substantial price reductions, and the offer from distributors for odi a3 (2026) had been reduced to $1067,000, equivalent to a discount of six。
Recently, a number of 4s stores have disappeared
In recent days, the owner of a single car, audi, has responded to the indr column, opening the kim odie 4s shop for suspected runaways, buying maintenance packages that are not usable, and even the employees of the shop are asking for wages。
One of the owners indicated that she had travelled to the 4s shop in mid-january of this year to find that there was no one left in the shop and that, although the exhibit room still contained vehicles, it had been sealed. She stated that she had purchased a maintenance package for six years at the door in 2023, and that now 4s was on the run and that it was uncertain whether any subsequent maintenance would be forthcoming。
Many drivers face similar embarrassments. The owners spent $168,000 and $188,000 on various packages, “not spent at all, years”. Others say it's only been six months since the car was bought
Even the 4s employees were defending their rights, and one employee said, “the boss ran away and our employees kept asking for their wages.”
According to the data, the owner of the 4s store, kimo automotive sales services limited, opened in the city, was established in november 2014. Inquiries about the rights and interests of the owner of the car were conducted by the intergenerational research institute, which indicated that the opening of the kimo had been withdrawn from the net on 13 november 2025, that the two parties had broken down their cooperation, through maintenance packages purchased at the end of the shop, that they would try to communicate within the shop, and that a judicial solution could be considered。
The subgenerational motor research institute found that the closure of audi 4s was not an isolated case. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of 2025 to the present, in addition to the opening of the kimo, more than a dozen audi 4s shops have closed, either in bad business and suddenly closed, or have been de-licensed to sell other brands, involving the provinces and cities of guangxi, jiangsu, zhejiang, tianjin, guangdong, shandong and anhui。
The services of the follow-on car owners of these establishments, some of them moved to other 4s stores or faced a situation similar to the opening of the 4s shop in kimo, without effective protection of their legitimate rights。
Chinese sales are on their knees twice a year
Behind the multiple 4s shops is the enormous downward pressure on audi to sell。
Earlier, audi had officially released his 2025 performance. The data show that in 2025, audi sold 162,360,000 units throughout the year, a decline of 2. 9 per cent over the same period, compared with 1,671,200 units in the same period in 2024。
Specifically, the german market sold 2,061,000 units, an increase of 4. 0 per cent over the same period; the european market (excluding germany) sold 46. 4 million units, a decrease of 0. 5 per cent over the same period; the north american market sold 20. 21 million units, a decline of 12. 2 per cent over the same period; the chinese market (including hong kong) sold 6175,000 units, a decline of 5. 0 per cent over the same period; and the overseas and emerging markets sold 13. 36 million units annually, a decrease of 5. 5 per cent over the same period。
In terms of share, china remains the largest single global market in audi, accounting for 38 per cent of total global sales. There is no doubt, however, that audi did not perform well in the chinese market, and one of the reasons given by audi was the intense competitive environment in china。
At present, audi relies mainly on two joint ventures in the chinese market: audi and audi, which account for the bulk of sales. It can be said that the main reason for the decline in sales in audi china is also the weakness of a rock audi sales。
According to data published earlier by a steamed audi, the chinese market sold 570. 1 million retailed vehicles throughout the year, which, although officially declared to be in the first place after six years of sales and shares, fell by 6. 7 per cent compared to 6111 million in 2024. Audi's sales also declined in two consecutive years。
The price of a multi-car is down
Under the pressure of sales, some of the car types of a steamed ordy are also being sold at reduced prices。
In the subgenerational motor research institute, it was observed at the motor home that the Audi A3 of the manufacturer's guidance price was 1659 to 209. 9 million yuan and that the offer given by the major distributors was only $106. 7 million, and that it was 2026 new vehicles, equivalent to a six-sum discount。
The producer's guide price was $2518,000 - $296. 8 million, while the dealer's offer was $131. 8 million, equivalent to a discount; and the producer's guide price was $28. 98 million - $36. 28 million, representing a discount of $17. 57 million。
It's not just a fuel truck, it's a car of the audi's pure tram, and it's going down a lot. Audi q4 e-tron's director's fees range from 2899 to 3671,000, while the dealer's offer starts at $1579,000, which is also a 50 per cent discount。
It is worth noting, however, that these offers are for naked cars. For Audi A3 with a price of $106. 7 million for naked cars, an audi 4s salesman indicated that there were current vehicles, but that a financial option for a manufacturer was needed, with a final landing price of around $120,000。
Declining sales, reduced car prices and poor running of 4s appear to be creating a vicious circle for audi。
In connection with the planning for 2026, guo yong-seong, executive deputy director of the audi marketing company, said that in 2026, audi would operate around the three core areas of “strong brands, good products, steady networks” and stressed that one audi would continue to upgrade his strategic deployment “user-centred” over the next five years。
In the area of network stability, he mentioned that one-size-fits-all audi would establish long-term strategic partnerships with high-quality investors, encourage the formation of jurisdictions, engage with other-size audi distributor partners, focus on the core work of “service excellence for users and maintain brand reputations”, and achieve a “win-win” brand + distributor + user。
However, as a result of the opening of the kimo and the closing of the 4s store in other locations, audi’s customer service and brand reputation were not well maintained, and the goal of a secure network remained a long way off。
