Mercedes-Benz has recently announced that the company has recorded its best fiscal year (13,558 units), best quarter (3,622 units) and best monthly sales ever (March 2016). This is the best figures the company has recorded in India. The Q1 sales momentum achieved is significant against the backdrop of the diesel ban in the key Delhi and NCR market, successive price hikes and a lack of incentives for the automotive sector in the Union Budget.

The E-Class, celebrating 20 years in India, was the highest selling car model for the company in the first quarter of 2016. The E-Class' popularity was closely followed by the C-Class, which remained a significant volume contributor in Q1 2016. Apart from the sedans, the SUV portfolio comprising the GLA, GLE and the GL also grew in Q1 2016. The New Generation Cars remained a steady contributor to volumes in the quarter as well.
