Mercedes-Benz Remains The Best Luxury Car Brand In India — Marks 25th Anniversary In 2019

Mercedes-Benz India is still the best luxury car brand in the country as it inches closer to its 25th anniversary in 2019. The iconic German automotive brand sold 15,538 cars in 2018, which is quite impressive in the luxury car segment. In fact, many claim that the average Indian luxury car buyer would always prefer buying a 'Merc' over anything else.

2018 is also the second consecutive year in which Mercedes-Benz India has sold more than 15,000 cars. In addition to this, the brand has maintained the top position for four successive years as well; commanding 40% in market share.

As far the sales go, the latest W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class EWB (Extended Wheelbase) was the brand's best-seller in 2018, while the GLC remained the best-selling SUV. On the other hand, popular models such as the C-Class, CLA, GLE and even the S-Class did fairly well in their respective segments.

A few of them include the new-generation GLE, CLA, A-Class; AMG GT63 four-door coupe and the V-Class van.

Last year, Mercedes-Benz India managed to rank the best in J.D. Power 2018 India Customer Service Index (Luxury) study. According to the survey, the brand offers the best after-sales service satisfaction in the luxury vehicle segment. The company bagged the top position in 2014 and 2015 as well.

As part of the new brand strategy, various customer service initiatives will be introduced in the coming months. The sales network across the country will also be strengthened. Events such as Brand Tour, LuxeDrive and AMG Emotion Tour would further improve their brand image.
