Audi Hungaria was founded in 1993 as Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. [1] The engine factory was inaugurated a year later. [2] Automobile production began in 1998 with the assembly of the Audi TT Coupé. There were also the TT Roadster (from 1999), Audi A3 and S3 (2001-2003), Audi A3 Cabriolet (from 2007) and Audi RS 3 Sportback (from 2010). [3] The painted bodies for final assembly came from Ingolstadt. [4]
By 2013, Audi had invested 5.7 billion euros in the site. This made Audi the largest foreign investor in Hungary up to that point. [5] In 2013 the new vehicle plant in Győr was inaugurated. Since then, the A3 sedan and cabriolet, and since 2014 the TT coupé and roadster, have been completely manufactured here. [3] In 2015, 2,022,520 engines and 160,206 automobiles were produced at Audi Hungaria Motor. [1] This means that almost all engines for Audi vehicles were manufactured in Győr in 2016. [3]
In January 2016 it was announced that the new generation of the Audi Q3 would be produced in Győr. [6] At the beginning of 2017, Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. merged with its parent company (Audi Hungaria Services Zrt.) as part of a corporate restructuring.

[4] In April 2017, Audi announced that it would produce the Q3 Sportback in Győr in 2019. [8]
