We are glad to witness growth re-emerging in Q1 2017, which makes us confident of our customer centric strategy. The high demand for the all-new long-wheelbase E-Class was overwhelming, as it surpassed all our expectations. With new product introductions coupled with the availability of the all-new long wheelbase EClass, we are confident that our growth momentum continues.

Qualitative expansion in our network spread, introduction of various cost of ownership measures and availability of varied tailor made financial programmes will be pivotal in aiding our planned growth.
It is very satisfactory to note that Mercedes-Benz witnessed growth across the portfolio, which strongly underlines the fact, that, luxury car buyers’ preference for a Mercedes-Benz vehicle continues.”
