Mercedes-Benz beat BMW to attain the world’s best-selling car brand in the luxury sector in 2020. It outsold its archrival and topped major auto ranks for the fifth year consecutively, while BMW observed a sharp fall by 7.3% to 2.03 million.

Tesla saw a huge growth in sales, along with Nio and Li Auto which gave tough competition to German based brands in China like Volkswagen, Mercedes and BMW which have been reigning over the Chinese automobile market.

Whereas Audi delivered nearly 47,000 battery powered SUV’s.
