Audi India Has A Three-Pronged Strategy To Grow Women Buyers In India

Cars are no longer a male dominion, there has been an increase in the number of women who describe themselves as passionate motorheads. Spinny, a full-stack used car platform, in its recent release shared that women comprised 26% of its customer base in 2024, an increase from 16% in 2023. By the end of March 2025, the company will have seen the figure double to 46%.

Luxury car brand Audi India is cognizant of this momentum and has observed an upswing in their sales. “For Audi India, women buyers account for 11% of their sales,” informs Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India. He adds, “This is a reflection of the broader shift where women are independently making luxury vehicle purchase decisions, prioritising safety, technology and a premium driving experience. We’ve seen a strong preference for the SUV range.”
