China is a very important market for the German carmakers, especially Mercedes-Benz and in order to demonstrate this, the premiere of the new S-Class will take place there. At least, this is that the Jinhua Times reported! According to the Chinese newspaper, Mercedes-Benz executives in China want to see the S-Class premiere in the country next year. The main reason to do this is that Mercedes-Benz believes China is a key market to the sales of this product. In order to boost its sales, Mercedes-Benz will also introduce five new models in China, according to Klaus Maier, CEO of Mercedes-Benz China. Moreover, the German manufacturer wants to expand its Chinese dealership network to 260 stores, from 217. For those who don’t know, Mercedes-Benz builds the C, E and GLK in China.
