Premium German carmaker, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn Bhd, is upbeat on its sales for 2016 after 8,200 units were sold until September this year.
Its Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mark Raine, said he was optimistic of the growth in sales next year as the demand for the locally-produced models, such as the C, E and S classes, was still there.
He said after achieving about 65 per cent sales increase year-on-year for 2014 against 2015, the group would continue to expand to meet demand.
“I see a good opportunity next year for us to chart growth in our sales and we are eyeing to beat the record we achieve this year for 2016,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Maritime International Showcase here today.
He said the group currently has 28 showrooms nationwide and planned to open a few more to provide better services to the customers in line with the strong growth potential.
“We opened a showroom in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, last week to ensure better customer satisfaction,” he said.
He said the group has introduced an E-Class model (Edition E) and two diesel models (E300 hybrid and CLS350).
“The launch will offer our customers more models to meet their personal requirements and needs which will contribute to our growth,” he said.
For the third quarter this year, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s year-to-date car sales jumped 70 per cent to 8,196 units from the 4,817 units sold in the same period of 2014.(Bernama)
