BMW Korea has introduced its refreshed 7 Series luxury sedan, aiming to capitalize on its expanding presence in the premium market segment. This model launch is significant as it marks a growing challenge to Mercedes-Benz Korea's long-standing dominance with its S-Class flagship. The 7 Series has become a crucial growth engine for BMW Korea, benefiting from the declining demand for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the highly competitive large sedan segment.
According to data from the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association, the S-Class saw 1,839 sales in Korea's first half of the year, falling short of the 7 Series' 3,077 units sold. The BMW luxury sedan has also surpassed the S-Class in sales of imported large sedans in Korea for the past two years, undermining Mercedes-Benz's long-held identity as a super luxury automaker.
