The two-story, 35,000-square-foot building located at 15 Lindsley Avenue in the heart of the Music City’s SoBro neighborhood is a partnership between Audi of America and Sonic Automotive, ushering in a brand-new, state-of-the-art experience for Audi guests.

In 2020, Sonic Automotive conducted focus groups with Nashville residents to test the concept and location for Audi Downtown Nashville. The focus groups overwhelmingly liked the downtown location and felt the energy of SoBro, combined with progressive and innovative digital tools, would bring a “technology-forward” and convenient Audi experience to downtown Nashville.

Audi Downtown Nashville is designed with the latest technology where guests can schedule VIP test drives of exciting new Audi models, build and customize their ideal Audi through virtual sales consultation, pick up new vehicles ordered at either Audi Downtown Nashville or the Audi Nashville location, enjoy convenient service through an after-hours digital check-in and check-out process, talk directly with factory-trained master technicians via video about service for their vehicle, and experience the latest in Audi electric vehicles with state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging stations and vehicle services.

“Our Audi Nashville dealership has built a reputation for luxury and providing an exceptional guest experience to residents of Nashville and surrounding areas for years,” said David B. Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive. “We are thrilled to partner with Audi of America to continue that legacy by providing a reimagined, state-of-the-art experience for Audi guests to shop, buy, and service their vehicles, experience the latest in Audi electric vehicle technology, and our team’s world-class guest experience.”

“We are truly excited for the Audi Downtown Nashville team. Strategically positioned in the heart of Nashville, integrating the physical, human and digital experiences to meet the evolving needs of the Audi driver. Our shared goal is to provide a seamless, hassle-free experience that exceeds expectations and creates lasting value,” said Shana Rogers, Director of Network Development, Audi of America, Inc.

“This is the future of automotive retail,” said Robert Hartman, General Manager of Audi Nashville and Audi Downtown Nashville. “Audi is known for innovative vehicle technologies, and it’s been exciting for our team to partner with Audi to bring this industry-changing dealership model to Nashville!”
