For the first time, the full-size German SUV Audi Q7 made its debut on the auto market back in 2005. Over ten years of development, the car has undergone many changes. This model of the "German" was created on the basis of the Volkswagen Touran SUV. The Audi Q7 successfully combines versatility and sportiness. It is an executive class vehicle. For their fans, the Germans designed the largest European jeep, which is warmly received in Russia to this day.
Where is the Audi Q7 made for Russia in 2017
Despite their big sizes, this SUV develops the speed of a sports car. With the characteristics of the "German" everything is clear, but many Russian fans of the brand are interested in the question: where is the Audi Q7 assembled for Russian market in 2017? Everything is simple here, the birthplace of the brand is Germany, and this model Audi AG produces cars at the Volkswagen Slovakia plant in Bratislava (Slovakia). The plant employs about 2,200 people. This car of the SUV segment has been assembled here since 2005. In 2012, the company produced a total of 54,562 Q7 vehicles. Body parts for the "German" are supplied from Ingolstadtai Neckarsulm (Germany), and engines from the Audi plant from the Hungarian city of Gyr. A body shop was built especially for the production of this car at the Bratislava plant. It is here, in the last 2016-2017 years, that the most important production processes take place.
Audi Q7 Slovak assembly is delivered to
- Russia
- EU countries
- China
We remind you that in the period from 2007 to 2010 this crossover was also assembled at the plant in Kaluga (Russia). But, due to the unstable economic situation in the country, the enterprise could not reach full production volumes of the Q7 model. Until the beginning of this year, models Q5 and A7 were assembled at the same enterprise. Today the plant is engaged in assembling models:
- Audi A8
- Audi A6
- Volkswagen Tiguan
- Volkswagen Polo
- Skoda Rapid.
For the manufacture of each model body, workers use:
- 220 aluminum and steel parts
- 56 working cycles
- 3400 welding points.
After painting, all components of the car are sent to the assembly shop. For the assembly and testing of the Audi Q7, separate installations and special equipment are used. The entire manufacturing process consists of 165 steps. After a complete assembly, all cars of this model are sent to a 2.4-kilometer track for testing. In fact, where the Audi Q7 is made plays an important role. Since the reliability and comfort completely depend on the build quality. vehicle... Recently in Russia they began to accept orders for a new generation of the model (the price of a car is 3,630,000 rubles). It can be assumed that the assembly of the old Q7 was stopped due to a generation change.
Plants of the German concern of other models
German cars are always associated with high quality, innovative technology and high standards production. Audi AG has organized the assembly of its car models at six factories around the world. The plant in Martorell (Spain) assembles the Q3 model. The plant produces more than one hundred thousand cars a year. The plant in Aurangabad (India) produces Audi A6 and A4 cars. In the capital of Belgium, Brussels, the assembly of the Audi A1 model has been established. This car has been produced here since 2010. The German plant in Neckarsulm creates premium models:
Therefore, if you are asked where the Audi Q7, A8 or A1 is produced, you can answer.
Audi was founded in 1910 by a young engineer August Horch. This was his second attempt to start his own business: the first company, Horch & Co, was founded back in 1899. However, in 1909 he was forced to leave Horch & Co by a court order. The reason was the disagreement with the partner-creditor.
Horch's new company, founded in the town of Chemnitz, at first, like the previous one, bore his name. When the city authorities learned about this, the court gave the new firm a different name, "Audi". Some sources claim that it was invented by one of Horch's business partners. He simply suggested using the same word, "Horch" (which means "listen" in German), but in the Latin version - "Audi".
The Audi logo features four silver rings. They symbolize the 1932 merger of four companies - DKW, Audi, Horch and Wanderer - into the Auto Union auto concern. At first, the Audi emblem was installed only on cars intended for racing, and on production models there were nameplates - specially made plates.
Pre-war history of "Audi"
Audi-A was the firstborn of the new firm. It came out in 1910. The next one was Audi-B. This model raced in Austria. The track, 2.5 thousand km long, passed through the Alps. In 1912, in Auto Alpenfart (as the Austrian races were called), the Audi-S proved itself to be excellent. This model was later called "Alpenziger", which means "Conqueror of the Alps".
Financial problems began with the company in the twenties. First, she merged with the other, then both became the property of Jorgen Skafte Rasmussen. The same problems forced small manufacturers to create the Auto Union concern in 1932. It included, among others, both companies created by Horch. True, by this time he himself had not been involved in production for a long time (since 1916).
The concern produced two front-wheel drive models equipped with Wanderer motors. They were in demand and sold well until the war broke out.
Audi after the war
The Auto Union concern was nationalized at the end of the war. A major reform took place in 1949, when the main rights of Auto Union were transferred to Mercedes-Benz. Then the controlling stake was transferred from one firm to another several times. The Audi brand disappeared for several years.
The Audi name reappeared only in 1965, when Volkswagen took over the ownership of the shares. Four circles, assigned by Audi since the merger of the four firms (1932), flaunt on the hoods of all models of this car.
By 1968, Audi was introduced to the markets in a wide range. Its sales grew steadily.
Being a "daughter" of the famous Volkswagen, Audi has gained worldwide fame largely thanks to the "Audi Quattro" model. This car had a "sporty appearance" and four-wheel drive. It was distinguished by its lightness, speed and amazing stability. Few people could compete with the Quattro, which was confirmed by the results of several car races.
Since 1958, the company has been called Audi AG. The German car manufacturer is part of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's most powerful concerns.
The production of cars is increasing from year to year. Since the 10th year of our century, it has exceeded 1 million pieces.
Audi's lineup is very extensive. It is represented by executive cars, racing cars, supercars and crossovers.
Thanks to excellent technical specifications Audi is very popular, including in Russia. It should be noted that not only new cars are in demand here. The sale of the model is excellent at secondary car markets. And to especially ardent fans of German cars, you can recommend special gadgets for your computer, such as a Mercedes flash drive. 
CHANGE OF MANUAL
In 1969 Neckarsulmer Automobilwerke bought the main shares of Volkswagen, which included Audi. The history of the creation of the company indicates that at one time the company had the name Audi NSU Auto Union, but in 1985 it returned to the classic Audi AG.
The strategy of the renewed firm was to organize sales to the United States. It happened in 1970, and the first car to go to another continent was the Audi Super 90. This station wagon immediately received support from users. Later, their ranks were joined by the Audi 80, which had slightly improved characteristics for buyers in the United States. After that, the real models received their designations in this market - Audi 80 and Audi 4000, respectively.
AGAIN TO START
In the 1980s, some irregularities were discovered in the company, so the level of its sales fell sharply in the regions of the United States. 1980 was remembered for the launch of a large novelty on the market in the form of a sports class all-wheel drive coupe. Previously, a similar model was the Audi quattro, which used a truck drive system.
The creation of this model was indicated in 1977, when, during tests by the Bundeswehr, the flagship VW Iltis attracted everyone's attention. It had excellent driving qualities on ice and snow, so it was decided to introduce such a system in the Audi 80. This model received a reinforced version with a turbo engine of 5 cylinders and 2.2 liters, the power of which produced 147 kW, or 200 horsepower.

The history of the company remembers the introduction into mass production of machines with four-wheel drive... Later, the quattro concept was offered with other Audi flagships. On the basis of this car, the sports coupe Audi Coupe, which appeared in 1993, was launched. Later it was decided to use the original body, which would complement the lineup... This transport remained one of the best of its kind for a long time until it was withdrawn from sales in 2000. In general, the total number of manufactured units was 72 thousand.
One of the models that the history of the brand remembered was the Audi 100. Its feature was the use of a six-cylinder V-type engine. This unit is considered the lightest among the model line. But the Audi A4 saw its buyer in 1994. In the same year, the company created the RS2 Avant, a five-seater car with a 315-horsepower turbocharged engine on an injection basis.
A little later, the famous platform of the Golf IV company laid the foundation for the flagship Audi A3. It was shown in 1996, gaining mass positive ratings... A year later, its serial production began. A year later, the presentation of the new flagships took place in Frankfurt am Main. The flagship Audi S4 / S4 Avante / RS4 was a striking modification for the "sports" segment at that time. He used a 2.7 V6 biturbo engine for his work, which was able to deliver 380 hp. with. 
NEW GENERATION
The history of the concern saw a universal body for the new flagships in 1998. In order to focus on the development and production of such vehicles, it was decided to discontinue the production of the C4 series. Since the company in a short period of time began production of fundamentally new cars, this was the beginning of the release of a new class B family.
But 1998 was also remembered for the premiere of the Audi TT, which had a coupe-type body. He was seen in Geneva, positively accepting the novelty. A year later, the same fate befell the roadster, which was shown in Frankfurt am Main. In 1999, the sports model Audi A3 was modified, which received a turbocharged engine and an all-wheel drive type transmission. Audi S8 is an analogue of the well-known racing car, but has a 4.2 V8 engine using all-wheel drive.
Interesting facts, technology and motorsport
Audi was the first company to conduct crash tests (starting in 1938).
The Audi 80 was initially marketed in North America under the Audi Fox name and later as the Audi 4000.

Key models in the history of the brand
Audi 80 is one of the most popular cars of the 20th century. The total volume of cars produced is more than 4 million copies. The model was produced for 30 years - from 1966 to 1996. Initially, the car was made on the same platform as the Volkswagen Passat. In 1987 a new one appeared generation of Audi 80 on the B3 platform, which no longer had anything in common with Volkswagen. The body of the B3 was fully galvanized to provide such high corrosion protection that Audi extended the warranty period from 8 to 12 years. Galvanized bodies are also used to build current Audi models.
The Audi Quattro is the company's first rally car. Thanks to innovations in the rules that allowed the use of four-wheel drive vehicles in competitions, Quattro was able to participate in the races. The car won two competitions in a row.
Development of the famous Audi TT began in September 1994 in California. The first concept car was shown at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The next modification of the model, the Audi TT Coupe, was demonstrated by the developers to the visitors of the Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. The new TT was much lighter than the previous one thanks to a combination of aluminum and steel materials.
The company began producing the Audi Q7 crossover in 2005. The first copy was seen by critics at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The E-platform model is based on the 2003 Audi Pikes Peak quattro concept.
Audi A3 –
family class hatchback. In 1996 - 2003, the first generation was produced, from 2003 to 2012 - the second. More recently, the third generation of the compact car has appeared and quickly became popular in European countries. The Audi A3 has won many different awards. 
Audiin Russia
One of the first Audi to appear in Russia was the Audi 80 B3. The famous "barrel" with the 89th body quickly became popular due to its simple design: motorists, who were well versed in front-wheel drive VAZs, could easily change parts for Audi. Some even modernized their foreign cars, replacing parts with domestic counterparts. They fell in love with Audu 80 in Russia and for the high strength of the suspension - the car with unprecedented agility for a foreign car conquered domestic roads.
Today Audi does not give up its position as the leader in sales of premium cars in the domestic market. From January to August 2012, 22,292 copies were sold, an increase of 41% over 2011 figures. But these cars are not stolen so often: according to statistical data for Russia for 2010-2011, the Audi brand did not even make it into the top twenty. Our most popular models today are the Audi A3 Sportback, Audi A4, Audi A6, Audi Q3, Audi Q5 and Audi Q7. 
In 2001, Audi opened the Quattro Driving School in Russia. This is the first school established by a foreign car manufacturer in Russia. Throughout its existence, the Quattro school has been very popular among our compatriots: over 11 years, more than 16 thousand private and corporate clients have been trained.

The executive A8 models won gold medals, the silver medalists were awarded the keys to the A7 Sportback, and the bronze winners were awarded the elegant A6. Also, Audi was selected as the official partner of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.
This will surprise you, but not all.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) AUDI.
As with any other vehicle, Audi's identification system is constantly changing. So, until 1970, the VIN of all Audi models was 9-digit, then up to August 1980, another digit was added to it. In the identification code of old Audi, the first two digits indicated a specific car model, then came the year of manufacture, the next digit indicated the manufacturing plant, and, finally, the last group of numbers indicated the serial number of the product being produced. Beginning in August 1980 (in fact, this applies to cars of the 1981 model line), the 17-digit VIN-code of Audi takes on a "common European" look. It is knocked out, as a rule, on the panel in front of the windshield inside the engine compartment (in the Audi TT it is covered with a transparent plastic strip), duplicated with a magnetic tape glued to the shock absorber cup, or on the inner surface of the wing. There are differences in the number structure for cars produced for the European market and cars for North America (USA and Canada).

(c) tyreno from here:
The VW-Kaluga plant was built in November 2007 (Technopark Grabtsevo, Kaluga). In addition to Audi models, the production of VW and Skoda cars was established at this enterprise.
German brand Audi was founded in 1909. But the history of this auto giant began in the 19th century, more precisely in November 1899, when August Horch founded the A. Horch company. In 1909, Horch left A. Horch and founded another own brand - Audi. In 1958, Daimler-Benz AG acquired a controlling stake in Auto Union (which included Audi), but then sold them to Volkswagen. Nowadays the Audi brand is widely known. Company profile - issue expensive cars executive class. Despite the fact that this company is a subsidiary of VW, Audi has long been on a par with such giants of the executive segment as Mercedes and BMW.
All Audi History
After disagreements with the board of directors of A. Horch, August Horch left the factory he had created in 1909 and created another brand - Audi Automobil-Werke. The first Audi car appeared in 1910 and had a 2.6 liter 4-cylinder engine with 22 hp. The tenacity with which August Horch presented his cars to various competitions was rewarded in 1911 when his Audi B with a 2.6 liter engine covered the entire distance in the Alpine Cup race in Austria without penalty points. In 1932, 4 German companies DKW, Audi, Horch and Wanderer merged into the Auto Union automobile concern. This is how the famous four rings appeared. The first collaboration for Audi was the front-wheel drive Front series with a 2257 cc Wanderer 6-cylinder OHV engine, followed by the rear-wheel drive Audi 920 with a 3281 cc Horch 6-cylinder engine. After the war, the territory of Germany, where the city of Zwickau was located, became part of the GDR. The former Audi plant was nationalized and produced at least famous cars Trabant. The Audi brand temporarily disappeared, as after the war, Auto Union produced only DKW vehicles. Only in 1957, the only model appeared under the name Auto Union 1000. The next year Auto Union came under the control of Daimler Benz, and in 1964, when the transition to production began front wheel drive vehicles, became the property of the Volkswagen concern. In 1965, the Audi brand was revived. At the Frankfurt Motor Show, a front-wheel drive Audi 1700 was shown with a highly efficient engine developed by Daimler Benz, which has a compression ratio of 11.2 and a power of 72 hp. In 1969, Auto Union and NSU merged - the new company became NSU Auto Union. The last organizational change came in 1984, when the NSU Auto Union was renamed simply Audi. After 1965, the family of Audi models began to expand - by the beginning of the 70s the series "60", "75", "80" and "100" appeared. The quattro all-wheel-drive versions, created in 1980, have repeatedly achieved success in international rallies, which has earned the Audi brand a high prestige. Initiated the release of all-wheel drive passenger cars Audi had an engineer named Ferdinand Piech who considered this process to be as natural as going from rear-only brakes to all-wheel brakes. The advent of mass-produced all-wheel drive Audi is considered a revolutionary stage in the development of the automotive industry. The base for all-wheel drive modifications were standard vehicles with front-wheel drive. In the block with the gearbox they put transfer case with a differential, which distributes the torque almost equally to both axles. At first, there was also an on / off mechanism. rear-wheel drive... The first all-wheel drive Audi were designed primarily for sporting events, where the reliability of new designs could be tested. They were powered by powerful turbocharged 5-cylinder engines. Influenced by the all-wheel drive Audi, a new direction was laid in the creation of production cars for both sports and ordinary use.
One of the largest and most successful German automotive concerns has developed a chic development in recent years. Cars of the Audi brand have always been considered a premium class; under the wing of the huge Audi-Volkswagen corporation, this brand has received enormous opportunities for using the most best technology, the most successful solutions in the technical and design part. It is with these features that the cars attract their customers, despite the constantly growing price tags and incredible configurations, in which you can find many unnecessary parts. Audi today competes with BMW and is also one of the main rivals of Japanese and American luxury brands. This is precisely the fate that the current features of the corporation's growth envisage.
Among the first questions asked by potential car buyers, there is invariably the question of car assembly. Many believe that everyone Audi models, as cars of the premium segment, are assembled exclusively in Germany. In fact, the brand has a mass of assembly plants around the world, which explains its prevalence both on the distant shores of the Atlantic and in the difficult Australian market. Also interesting fact that Audi cars are today officially recognized as the best purchase on secondary market, which increases their popularity due to the confirmed quality and huge service life. Let's take a look at the main features of the assembly of cars from this German brand.
Geographic distribution of Audi vehicles
The car companies of the Volkswagen AG group are incredibly widespread throughout the world. Today it is one of the largest geographical concerns, which successfully operates on almost all continents. In most cases, only SKD machines are assembled outside Germany, with the main production assets located within the European country. As for Audi cars, the company offers a wide assembly geography. The largest factories outside Germany are located in North America, one of the first markets for these vehicles. In general, in the world you can find enterprises associated with Audi in the following countries:
- Germany - more than ten factories of different directions and large research engineering centers;
- USA - the largest assembly and production unit with its own model range and technical features;
- Brazil - five factories that produce SKDs for all Latin American countries;
- Argentina and Mexico are two more Latin countries in which some models are assembled;
- South Africa - almost the entire model range for Africa is assembled at a large plant in this country;
- India and Malaysia - Asian concerns created to reduce the cost of some production processes;
- China is a huge division of Audi that designs and manufactures engines, bodies and all other parts for cars in Asia;
- Slovakia and Belgium - some of the engineering developments for the concern are carried out in these countries.
There are also assembly facilities for Audi cars in Russia, but they are not very common. At the Volkswagen AG plant in Kaluga, today they assemble the Audi A6, as well as the Audi A8 - the two most popular sedans in their class for the market of our country. In most cases, these machines are sold to businesses or politicians, which is why the corporation has left mass assembly in our country. The rest of the models, which were previously assembled in Russia, left our conveyors and are exported to the country from Europe. This caused a slight increase in the price of cars, but the quality increased significantly. Let's face it, the Kaluga assembly needs certain changes in the technological process. This is evidenced by the deteriorating reviews of the new popular A6 sedans.
The main assembly features of the Audi concern
The company manages to keep track of all its divisions. The concern conducts strict control of the assembly quality, this is what became the reason for the removal from Russian production some Audi models, in particular the Q5 and Q7 crossovers. Customers expect more from a company than just decent quality. In Europe, Audi is being assembled in full, every detail of the future vehicle is subject to strict certification. It is worth noting that the corporation is actively developing technologies that will subsequently be successfully inherited by other brands of the concern. Today, the main tasks and principles of the company are as follows:
- the highest quality of cars, the absence of any childhood diseases in new developments;
- extended testing of each technology that is introduced into the technical or functional part of the machines;
- certification of each individual piece of equipment, testing and lapping of parts at the factory;
- maximum automation of production, even in those countries where it is more profitable to use manual labor;
- assembly control, which is carried out by German experts at each plant where Audi is assembled;
- a multi-stage system for choosing materials for the interior, high-quality plastic and an excellent layout;
- the most modern design features, a constant competition among the best designers of the company.
Audi is one of the few brands that doesn't have one permanent design bureau. The corporation collects competitive submissions from different departments of its designers, and then selects the best developments. However, other projects do not remain idle, because the company has brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat, which are less picky about the appearance of their equipment. That is why Audi always has the best design features among the management's choice. However, this is a rather subjective field of activity, because someone in the Spanish Seat likes much more than the classic stylish image of Audi.
New models - a chic development of technology from Audi
Not a single model lingers on the assembly line of the corporation for more than five years today. And five years for such cars can be quite a long time. Therefore, in most cases, the corporation offers an updated style of its cars even before old design will become irrelevant. Many potential buyers are surprised at how quickly the design line of cars is updated, but this is not too much of a concern for the picky management of the company. In 2015, the corporation presented a fairly large number of new products and restyling, among which the main attention is attracted by the following updates:
