The company which saw its Q1 sales record a sharp drop of 38.6 percent from 3,885 units last year to 2,386 units between January and March 2020 due to the long-prevalent economic slowdown which has now gotten adverse by the coronavirus pandemic, is looking to stimulate demand in the market.
Under its 'Wishbox 2.0' campaign, Mercedes-Benz India is offering some innovative limited-period finance solutions, aimed at enhancing the buyer sentiment in the luxury car segment.
Some of the key highlights of the package include:
- A new 10-year loan tenure, with refinance or buy-back options after 5 years
- Lowest EMI of Rs 1,499 per lakh
- 3-month EMI waiver for standard loan of 3/4/5 years and agility
- Drive more, pay less option - smaller EMI amount for first six months, returning to regular amount from the seventh month onward
The company says that these financial schemes are valid only on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class sedans and the GLC SUV.
According to Martin Schwenk, MD and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, “Customer-centricity has been central to all our market strategies and at Mercedes-Benz we have developed a deep understanding of the luxury car market and that of our customers.
