Luxury Car Segment in India
The year 2019 was one of the most difficult years for the automotive industry, where falling sales and adding inventory hampered industry players; according to reports in the media, the automobiles for passengers fell by 17.98 percent between April and November 2019 when compared with the same period in 2018.
It was also reported that the sales of luxury cars were also down this year. The sales of 15,000 and 17,000 luxury models were reported in the second portion of the year, as opposed to 20,000 at the beginning of 2019.
But in January of this year, it was reported that Mercedes Benz India took the place of the top-selling luxury car manufacturer in India in the year 2019. Mercedes Benz India continued to hold the top spot for the fifth time after sales dropped by 11.3 percent.
