 However, this was 12.7 per cent lower from 2018, when it had sold 15,538 units.
<br /><br /> In the December quarter, the Pune-based company clocked sales growth of 3.3 per cent, selling 3,781 units -- its highest ever quarterly volume, it said in a statement.
<br /><br /> The company also sounded bullish about 2020 and said it will continue with its product offensive, which will begin with the launch of an all-new GLE on January 28.
<br /><br /> The company said it could maintain its pole position on the back of a record 54 per cent growth in its performance vehicles segment led by the CLA, GLA and GLS models, whose new generation variants will be available from Q2 of 2020.
<br /><br /> Mercedes will also be the first luxury car maker to completely transition into BS-VI portfolio with petrol and diesel models shortly.
<br /><br /> "Amidst strong macroeconomic headwinds, our volumes in Q4 also grew by 15.41 percent from Q3 2019, taking the overall volume to 13,786 units in 2019, down 12.7 percent from 2018," the company said.
<br /><br /> Against this, rival BMW saw its volumes dip 13.8 per cent to 9,641 units in 2019 from 11,105 units in 2018. The German carmaker despatched 9,000 BMWs and 641 Minis in the year. Besides, its two-wheeler brand BMW Motorrad sold 2,403 motorcycles last year.
<br /><br /> The third German player Audi is yet to disclose its sales numbers.
<br /><br /> Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director and Chief Executive Martin Schwenk said, "We are satisfied with our performance in 2019 despite facing strong macroeconomic headwinds, specifically in the first three quarters. We were able to positively influence customer sentiment with our solutions and achieved the new best ever Q4."
<br /><br /> The year 2020 is going to be another important year for the firm and it continues to be optimistic about mid- to long-term prospects, he added.
<br /><br /> The company had an overwhelming response to its entire BS-IV portfolio and it is now ready with the all-new BS-VI range, ahead of the deadline, he said.
<br /><br /> This year the market will witness a strong product offensive from Mercedes-Benz, beginning with the new GLE, followed by some of the most significant product introductions from its global portfolio, including those without any predecessors, Schwenk said.<strong> <br /><br />See also:<br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/auto-earnings-maruti-suzuki-could-gain-from-q3fy20-analysts-predict-revenue-fall-for-tata-motors-mahindra/articleshow/73165324.cms">Festive sales might bring cheer for Maruti as Tata Motors and Mahindra to remain in the red, predict analysts</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/car-sales-in-india-declined-even-during-the-festive-season/articleshow/72003380.cms">Car sales in India declined even during the festive season</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/slideshows/from-tata-to-maruti-these-are-indias-top-auto-newsmakers-of-2019-mostly-for-the-wrong-reasons/slidelist/72812217.cms">From Tata To Maruti, These Are India’s Top Auto Newsmakers Of 2019 – Mostly For The Wrong Reasons</a></strong>

Mercedes remains India's top luxury car maker for the fifth year in a row

New Delhi, Jan 8 () German car maker BMW on Wednesday reported 13.8 per cent dip in its sales at 9,641 units in India last year as compared with 11,105 units in 2018.
<p> The luxury automaker despatched 9,000 BMW and 641 Mini units in 2019.
</p><p> Besides, BMW Motorrad sold 2,403 motorcycles last year.
</p><p> "2019 was not an easy year for the Indian automotive industry as various macroeconomic and structural conditions shook its foundations," BMW Group India President and CEO Rudratej Singh said in a statement.
</p><p> BMW Group India, however, stood its ground in this fierce environment with a slew of new products and very aspirational and desirable brands, he added.
</p><p> "We successfully initiated new consumers to come into the segment with the BMW 3 Series and the BMW X1. At the same time, we created a clear path for upgrade for segment users with the BMW X5, the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo and the BMW 7 Series," Singh said.
</p><p> The company has a healthy order book for the BMW X7 which is sold out for months, he added.
</p><p> "Though the industry is still facing difficult times, we are well prepared for 2020. We will always be competitive by remaining focused on our customers," Singh said.
</p><p> The company said last year it witnessed over 50 per cent sales come from the locally-produced sports activity vehicle (SAV) range, including BMW X5, BMW X3 and BMW X1.
</p><p> A strong contribution also came from BMW 5 Series and BMW 3 Series, it added.
</p> Similarly, MINI hatchback and the locally-produced MINI Countryman together commanded a share of over 70 per cent in Mini India sales, the German carmaker said.   MSS

BMW i Ventures is also going to begin looking at startups in Europe and Asia as opposed to just the US, which is where i Ventures has traditionally focused.</p><p>"These days, more and more innovations come from the startup scene," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, a member of the board of management at BMW Group, which is responsible for MINI, BMW Motorrad, and Rolls-Royce, in a statement. "Venturing allows us to tap into this potential at an early stage. To achieve this, we are now giving BMW i Ventures a much broader footing."</p><p>He added: "The atmosphere of radical openness and idea-driven exchange that characterises the startup scene is particularly fruitful for an innovation leader like BMW."</p><p>The luxury car-maker said that the i Ventures VC firm will now operate independently and globally under the leadership of two managing partners - Ulrich Quay and Uwe Higgen.</p><p>Since its formation, BMW i Ventures has completed more than 15 investments in various mobility-related startups. In 2014, for example, BMW i Ventures backed San Francisco's RideCell. The automotive giant has used RideCell's technology in ReachNow, BMW's car sharing service in the US. RideCell's technology has been "responsible for" the IT platform and all customer interfaces used for reservations and billing, according to BMW.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/photo-series-reveals-true-proportions-huge-objects-2016-11">These size comparisons show the true scale of enormous things</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="c1eWVnNzE6EEyJweXWOcYHRM1Gff7evr" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
