Mercedes-Benz India reported a 26 per cent jump in sales at 4,022 units in the first quarter of 2022, riding on robust demand for both its SUVs and sedans despite the challenges of semiconductor shortage and global supply chain disruptions, and rising input and logistics costs.

The company had sold 3,193 units in January-March 2021, Mercedes-Benz India said in a statement.

A highest ever order bank of over 4,000 units is leading to a positive outlook in the coming months, it added.
The E-Class long-wheelbase sedan remained the highest-selling model in the first quarter, while GLC was the highest selling SUV, followed by the GLA and GLE SUVs.

Schwenk further said, “With the highest order bank in our history, we are confident of continuing this growth momentum in the coming months.”
