Mercedes-Benz leads the luxury pack

A record third quarter for the German carmaker means it looks set to retain its crown as the best-selling automotive luxury brand of 2019 both globally and in Singapore.Smaller, less expensive models like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Saloon have fuelled the brand's strong salesMERCEDES-BENZ is on track to once again be the best-selling luxury automotive brand in the world, a position it has kept since 2016.

The brand's continued gains are impressive, considering the global car market is on a downswing. 2018 was the first time since 2009 that global car sales dropped, from 86.4 million in 2017, to 86 million. Automobile industry analysts expect car sales to contract by up to 5 per cent in 2019, due to numerous factors including uncertainty from US tariffs, Brexit, more stringent European emissions regulations, and the fact that China's automobile boom is finally beginning to slow.

In fact, there hasn't been a year in the past decade where Mercedes-Benz wasn't in the top five in Singapore, and it was even the top selling car brand, bar none, in 2013.
