Quarter four of 2023 was also the best-ever quarter for BMW and Mini, and December 2023 saw the highest-ever monthly sales for BMW and Mini, it said.
The company launched 23 products in 2023, and this year, it will be launching 19 new products (13 cars and 6 bikes). It will be launching the all new 5-Series, X3, Mini Countryman and a Mini three-door hatch, and the all-new R13 in the motorcycle range, Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India, told reporters.
“It has been a record-breaking milestone year for BMW Group India. All three brands – BMW, Mini and BMW Motorrad – have delivered their highest-ever sales. We have the most desirable brands and luxurious products. We have created bespoke experiences and services that ensure complete peace of mind and freedom to enjoy unlimited driving pleasure.

“By blending driving pleasure with zero emissions, our luxurious offerings resonate with a growing clientele embracing a progressive and sustainable mindset. We continue to set the pace in the Indian electric luxury vehicle market with the most diverse and innovative product range, designed to cater to diverse customer needs. A perfect example is the BMW iX which is the highest selling luxury electric vehicle in India,” he said.
