Mercedes retains title of top luxury car brand in India

For the second year in a row, Mercedes Benz India has claimed the top spot among luxury car brands in India, selling over 13,000 units in annual sales in 2016. Despite the fact that this year’s number—13,231—is marginally down from figure of 13, 502 units in 2015, the brand is still top-ranked among competitors. The marginal fall in sales is being attributed to ban on diesel vehicles for most of the year and demonetisation. Mercedes Benz toppled Audi in 2015 to become the top luxury car brand in India.
