Audi models particularly affected by the war in Ukraine include the Q4 e-tron, A4, A5, A6, A7, TT, Q7, and Q8.

The A1, A3, Q2 e-tron, Q5, and A8 were impacted to a small extent by the war, according to Automobilwoche.

Audi has paused production of a host of models at its assembly plants due to missing parts, including wiring harnesses, that the German automaker source from war-torned Ukraine.

Production from some of Audi’s suppliers have collapsed completely since the war began last month while production at other sites has been severely restricted.

In an internal letter sent to dealerships, viewed by Automobilwoche, Audi revealed that “in some cases we have had to (and will) stop production at some locations for days or weeks”, due to the ongoing Russian war in the Ukraine.
