Mercedes-Benz India has revealed its sales data for the first half of 2019. The German luxury automobile manufacturer sold 6561 units in the first six months of 2019. 

The volume driver for Mercedes-Benz India in the January-June 2019 period was the E-Class LWB. The new C-Class and the GLC SUV also contributed to the sales volume. The AMG segment, however, grew the highest by 47% and outperformed the other segments in H1 2019.

We expect sales to recover gradually from the third quarter; however conditions would continue to remain challenging.”
