New Delhi: Mercedes-Benz continued its hold on the Indian luxury car market, maintaining top position for a third year in a row in 2017 with record sales of 15,330 units, beating rivals BMW and Audi.
The company, which sold 13,231 units in 2016, said it was able to clock 15.86 per cent increase in sales on the back of new products and a robust customer centric approach in 2017, which was otherwise a "challenging and a year of missed opportunities" for the industry.
In 2017, BMW Group reported sales of 9,800 units as against 7,861 units in the previous year. Audi, on the other had posted sales of 7,876 units as compared to 7,720 units, a growth of 2 per cent.
Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover's sales in India stood at 3,954 units as against 2,653 units in 2016, an increase of 49 per cent.
