India’s largest luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz today set new sales record with sales of 8061 units representing a growth of 12.4% in the January-June 2018 period (January to June 2017: 7171 units). The sales growth also marks the brand’s highest ever half-yearly volumes in India.

Pursuing our philosophy of ‘The Best Keeps Leading’, Mercedes-Benz continues to retain the top customer billing in the luxury car segment, growing 12.4% in the first six months of 2018. We attribute this growth momentum to our customer centric measures coupled with an unmatched product and customer service offensive. Our sales performance is in line with our expectation despite last year’s extraordinary demand in Q2, owing to the anticipation of GST implementation. With our wide range of New Generation Cars, sedans, SUVs and the performance cars, we are confident to continue the drive, we set for ourselves in the first half.

This strong sales growth in January-June 2018 is aided by the most comprehensive and young product portfolio comprising the New Generation Cars, the sedans, the SUVs and the AMG performance cars. During the first half of the year, customers continued their preferences for the E-Class long wheelbase sedan, which remains a success story for the Indian market. The launch of S-Class also enabled Mercedes-Benz to cater to the increasing demand of this segment benchmark luxury business sedan. Similarly, the C-Class continues to remain on top of customer preference.

The successful run of the New Generation Cars, continues across markets and added new young customers to the brand’s increasing customer base. The high performance AMG models are expected to sustain their growth momentum in the performance segment and achieve steady growth in the remaining quarters of the year.
