There are numerous Luxury Car Brands in India, but which is the best? We’ll cover Mercedes Benz, Audi, Datsun, Nissan, and more. And we’ll discuss which brands you should avoid, too. But first, let’s cover some basic information on each brand. Then, let’s take a look at how their prices stack up with other Luxury Car Brands in India. After all, who wouldn’t want to own a Mercedes-Benz?
Mercedes Benz
The growth of the Mercedes Benz luxury car brand in India is well documented, with the company selling more than fifteen thousand cars in 2018. The brand’s sales have topped 15000 cars every year since 2011, but they may increase even further this year thanks to the supply chain disruptions and geopolitical issues in the country. Furthermore, lower luxury car taxes may help grow the luxury car segment in the country, further benefiting the car market.
Audi
In addition to selling luxury cars, Audi also provides chauffeured services to customers, which makes it a great option for those who don’t want to drive themselves. Its sleek, elegant exterior design ensures that the interior space is comfortable and aesthetically appealing. Audi cars also use fuel-efficient engines and retain their power. Its popularity is not restricted to urban centers, however. Even those in rural India can buy an Audi.
Datsun
The decline of the hatchback segment in India is not a good news for Datsun. Maruti Suzuki estimates that only 39 percent of cars sold in the country are hatchbacks. And that number is expected to rise to more than fifty percent over the next few years. In India, one out of every two cars will be an SUV. This means that Datsun will have a very difficult time competing with Nissan.
Nissan
The demand for luxury cars in India is huge. Luxury car brands such as BMW Group India are experiencing high sales levels, thanks to the growing middle class in the country. Moreover, the customer base has changed over the past decade, with a new generation of high achievers emerging from traditionally rich families who have a taste for high-end products. In addition to this, the generation X, the millennials, and generation Z have become increasingly tech-savvy, with technology becoming a significant part of their lives.
Skoda Superb
The Skoda Superb is one of the top-rated luxury cars in its segment. With premium interiors and a plush feel, the Skoda Superb has set the standard for luxury sedans. This car is set to be showcased at the 12th Auto Expo in Delhi and will be launched in mid-February 2014.
Bentley
Bentley is a British luxury car manufacturer that prides itself on quality, performance, and craftsmanship. Bentley currently offers four different models in India, ranging from the INR 3.38 crore Continental GT to the INR 4.40 crore Mulsanne. The Continental GT is the cheapest model from the Bentley lineup in India, and prices start at INR 3.38 crore. The company sells its vehicles through Exclusive Motors Pvt Ltd, a dealership located in New Delhi.
Fiat Punto
In the beginning, the Fiat cars did not have a good reputation when it came to fuel efficiency. Instead, their popularity came from their design, build quality, and performance. However, this changed as time went on and they started competing with premium hatchbacks like the BMW 1-Series and the MINI Cooper. Now, both Fiat Punto and Indica Vista have surpassed these other two brands in sales in India.
