Mercedes-Benz India has released its sales report for Q2 2022, which stands at its highest ever. For the given period, i.e. January to June 2022, the carmaker sold a total of 7,573 units. This, compared to the same period last year, results in year-over-year growth of 56 per cent. The increase in sales is a strong indicator of customers’ faith in Mercedes-Benz’s range of vehicles. Luxury brands are not immune to the continuing global supply-side challenges. Hence, the waiting period remains sustainably high. But, with the growing demand and increase in sales, Mercedes Benz is striving to produce more cars and reduce the current waiting list.
One of the major reasons for the increase in sales is the launch of a slew of new car launches. Going forward for Q3, the carmaker already has plans to launch some of the most anticipated Mercedes-Benz models from its global portfolio. All this, with the addition of new dealerships across the country, is helping the brand grow quite fast. Customers also appreciate these efforts by buying more, thus creating the perfect manufacturer-customer relationship.
Taking the EV segment forwards with its EQ brand Mercedes is all set to launch the EQB. This is a 7-seater SUV based on the Mercedes-Benz GLB. The EQB is the fully electric version of this, which also comes with a typical blanked front grille and a wraparound LED tail lamp. For the global market, the EQB gets a 4Matic dual motor configuration that produces 225 Bhp of power and an EQB350 with a 4Matic dual motor that makes 288 Bhp of power. For India, we expect Mercedes to launch the top-spec EQB350 trim.
The German car maker recently made an announcement for the recall of 2,179 units of GL, ML & R-Class cars in India. Mercedes will inspect the car thoroughly with a suspect of potential leakage in the vehicle’s brake booster due to corrosion.
