Mercedes-Benz India recorded their best sales figures in the January-September period. The company managed to roll out 10,079 units in 2015 as opposed to the 7,529 units in January-September 2014. The number of cars sold in nine months in 2015 almost equals the total sales of 10,201 units in 2014.
What has given a boost to the sales is an array of new cars across all segments. According to the company the CLA, C-Class and the E-Class sedans spearheaded the sales volumes. In the SUV portfolio, the GLA stood ahead with the M-Class and the GL-Class close behind.
Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India commented, “Mercedes-Benz’s success run in India continues as we sold almost the entire 2014 volumes in first nine months of 2015. This continuous sales success is a clear reflection of our customer centric approach and our relentless drive towards creating customers for life. I am glad to see the India strategy is bearing fruits, and we are well poised for entering the Q4 with a very strong footing. The success of the first three quarters has been in line with our expectations and we are confident of achieving our target of a sustainable double digit growth. We not only launched 12 new products and revived the market, but also inaugurated 13 new outlets taking our network reach to an unsurpassable 80 outlets spanning across 39 cities. This underscores our customer centricity which is central to our business strategy. We will also redefine the luxury SUV segment with the launch of the new GLE on 14th October.”
