Core Viewpoint - The claim of "50% off on seven Mercedes models" is misleading, as various models are offered with significant discounts, but not to the extent of half-price sales [1][2]. Group 1: Discounts and Promotions - Multiple Mercedes models currently have varying degrees of discounts, with cash discounts and additional subsidies available, leading to substantial overall savings [1][2]. - For example, the GLA model has a cash discount of 120,000 yuan, and when combined with trade-in or scrapping subsidies, the total discount can exceed 150,000 yuan [2][3]. - Other models like the GLB and CLA also have significant discounts, with the CLA 200 series offering around 120,000 yuan in discounts, plus additional subsidies [2][3]. Group 2: Market Trends - The trend of increasing discounts is not limited to Mercedes; other luxury brands like BMW and Audi are also offering substantial promotions, with discounts reaching up to 180,000 yuan on certain models [4][5]. - The luxury car market is experiencing pressure on sales, with Mercedes' delivery volume down 7% year-on-year in Q1, and similar declines observed for BMW and Audi [5]. - The rise of new energy vehicles is contributing to the increased promotional efforts for traditional luxury fuel vehicles, as they face competition from emerging luxury brands [6].
