I n March 2017, new car registrations really picked up speed. The KBA recorded a total of 359,683 cars brought onto the market for the first time, an increase of 11.4% compared to the previous year. The spring mood also caused plenty of postponements on the podium in numerous segments. There are also new front-runners in five segments.
In the mid-range segment, the Mercedes C-Class is now at the forefront. The Audi A4 is in second place and the BMW 3 Series has slipped onto the third. The previous month's winner VW Passat is completely off the podium. In the upper middle class, the Mercedes E-Class relegated the Audi A6 and the BMW 5 Series to their places. In the luxury class, on the other hand, the BMW 7 Series was able to take the lead from the S-Class. The Swabian is in second place, now followed by the Porsche Panamera. The Audi A7 is out of the top 3.
