The Indian market will see the entry of three new Mercedes-Benz models within the next few months.
The
upcoming models are part of the aggressive push of the luxury car
manufacturer in India as it aims to attain a double-digit growth for the
present financial year in the country. In addition, the company also
aims to add more dealers in India.
Mercedes-Benz India CEO and
Managing Director Eberhard H. Kern said that the company is presently
focused in a smaller market for a number of its vehicles including the C-Class, E-Class, S-Class models, and the petrol model of the B-Class. Despite this, the company is still leading these market segments.
The
latest Mercedes-Benz GL luxury sports utility vehicle will be launched
by the company in New Delhi by May 16. Following this launch, the
company will also introduce the diesel variant of the B-Class along with
the petrol and diesel variants of the A-Class.
Kern indicated
that the company is anticipating double-digit growth for this year with
its expanded vehicle lineup. This anticipation comes after the company
achieved an increase in sales of around 5.3 percent for the first
quarter of this year. Overall sales for 2012 also reached around 7,000
units.
Mercedes-Benz is also planning to unveil around thirteen
models in the international market by 2020 including ten new models,
Kern added.
