The company recorded sales of 5,131 units in the January-March 2026 quarter, up 7 percent year-on-year compared to 4,775 units in Q1 2025. Growth was supported by demand for both newly launched and existing products, along with network expansion and continued focus on customer experience.
Sales performance during the fiscal year was driven by the top-end luxury segment, which grew by 16 percent and accounted for 27 percent of total volume. In Q1 2026, the segment recorded 25 percent growth, supported by demand for models such as the S-Class, the Mercedes-Maybach range, the EQS SUV, and the AMG portfolio.
