Mercedes-Benz India is expecting a balanced growth between sedans and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), going ahead, amid a robust demand for vehicles in both these segments. This was stated by its managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) Santosh Iyer on Wednesday.

SUVs have become highly popular during the last few years but there is still a strong base of customers that love sedans, he told Business Standard. 

Currently, the share of SUVs to sedans in the company’s sales is 52:48. “A few years back, the share of sedans was about 52 per cent,” he said.
