HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Volkswagen's VOWG_p.DE luxury car unit Audi NSUG.DE is planning to cut 9,500 jobs by 2025, a person close to the matter said.

Audi declined to comment. But earlier on Tuesday, an Audi spokesman had said that talks with labor representatives on cutting costs were making progress.
