The A3 Sedan was the first model to be manufactured entirely at the Győr plant, followed by the A3 Cabriolet. In 2014, production for the TT Coupé, and later the Roadster, began – both cars are manufactured exclusively in Hungary.
Last year, a total of 135,000 cars were produced by Audi Hungaria. Vehicle assembly began at the end of the '90s. Between 1998 and 2014, the Győr plant, in cooperation with Audi's Ingolstadt location, was an assembly plant for TT and A3 Cabriolet.
