India’s largest luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz has won a mandate to supply 55 E-Class sedans to the Ministry of External Affairs.
The top-of-the-range E 250 CDI will be leased to the Ministry and will be used by the visiting foreign dignitaries comprising Head of States, Presidents, Prime Ministers and top Diplomats.
Roland Folger, the newly announced Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz India commented, “Mercedes-Benz has always been the preferred luxury brand for Head of States across the globe including India, and we are extremely proud of this fact. The impeccable sense of prestige, luxury, safety and comfort offered by a Mercedes-Benz is rarely matched and makes us the obvious choice for such exclusive clientele.”
“The mandate from the Ministry of External Affairs opting for the E-Class luxury sedan is a reiteration of the inherent strength of our product and of the unsurpassable brand equity that Mercedes-Benz commands in the Indian luxury car market.”
With more than 30,000 units sold, E-Class remains the highest selling luxury car in India and the most successful car for Mercedes in world’s second most populous country.
Earlier this year, Mercedes shot past German rival Audi to become the highest selling luxury car maker in India.
