Still, various factors continue driving sedan demand: Affordability – Sedans are generally cheaper than SUVs by $2,000-$5,000 when comparing similarly equipped models. You get more features per dollar. Fuel Economy – The sleeker shape and lower weight of sedans boosts mpg by 4-8 mpg on average versus SUVs. This saves considerably on gas costs over time. Ride and Handling – Sedans are engineered for a composed ride and agile handling thanks to their lower center of gravity versus taller SUVs. Ease of Entry/Exit – The lower seating height makes getting in and out simpler compared to climbing up into an SUV. Given these inherent advantages, sedans retain loyal buyers.

Normally, working with Mercedes dealerships is a breeze. Their obsession with treating every single speck and aspect of your average Customer Service Inquiry as a premium experience means you're never stuck with irate or impatient clients on the phone.

Then, there's what happens when one of the local Mercedes dealerships decides to run a clearance sale to clear its showroom for incoming 2023 and 2024 models: the need to push things becomes so omnipresent that you end up with absurd scenes like a high-end dealership positively salivating in front of a teenager's battered and bruised Honda Civic.

Kid maybe stopped for an oil change once, seeing as most garage techs can also do repairs or maintenance on generics, and now you're realizing that one of the Sales Reps is probably projecting a Hugo Boss blazer on top of the kid's Naruto tee, and already imagines them driving a GLA 250 2022.

The opposite is also amusingly common, which is a disgruntled Mercedes owner who finally realizes that most luxury-end sedans are not purpose-built for Quebec's godawful roads and horrendous wintertime seasons, and who's fully intending to leave the store with an unused credit and a pre-set referral at their local Japanese Automotive Tentpole sales point.

Locally, people buy a Mercedes during summertime, have their fun until leaves start to fall, and then routinely come up with a bullshit excuse to negotiate a buyback. You'd think a rental service like Entreprise would suffice, but these are people who need more time than what Entreprise offers, and far less commitment than a full-blown leasing contract.

Which are Most Popular Products in Indian Mold Release Agents Market?

By the end of 2020, the construction sector of India is expected to value $5 billion, as per government sources. Moreover, growing by 7.1% every year, it is expected to become the world’s third largest by 2025. Additionally, between April 2000 and December 2019, the country’s infrastructure industry received investments worth $25.37 billion, says the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). This reflects the rising construction of commercial, residential, and industrial buildings, as well as civic structures, such as tunnels, roads, highways, and bridges.

In this sector, concrete is the basic material, which is poured into molds of various shapes and sizes to create the desired structures, such as the pillars and girders of highways and metro viaducts. To ensure that the concrete doesn’t stick to the mold and the mold can be easily separated from the structure, without damaging it, several chemicals are used. Hence, as construction and infrastructure activities pick up further, the Indian mold release agents market, which valued $114.6 million in 2018, would grow at a 5.2% CAGR between 2019 and 2024, to $153.9 million by 2024.

Get a sample copy of this report: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/indian-mold-release-agents-market/report-sample

As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is the world’s third largest vehicle market and seventh largest automobile producer. In 2018, automobile sales in the country touched 3.99 million units, rising by 8.3% from the previous year. Moreover, the export of vehicles from India also increased, by 14.50% in Financial Year 2019; they have been predicted to display a CAGR of 3.05% between 2016 and 2026. Tires, plastic parts, ferrous and non-ferrous components, and fiber products are widely produced for the automotive sector, which create a high requirement for chemicals to release them from their mold.

With the rising demand for automobiles, several international vehicle manufacturers, such as Daimler, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Ford, Hyundai, Honda, Skoda, Nissan, Toyota, and Chevrolet, have set up manufacturing plants in the country. Being a emerging economy, raw material and labor are available cost-effectively here, which draws auto giants from around the world to set up operations here, thus resulting in an increasing demand for mold release agents. For the same reason, manufacturers of almost everything, including power equipment (gas turbines and generators) and consumer electronics, are making stuff in India.

We’ll overview standouts in categories ranging from economical compacts to electrified and high-performance options. Read on for insider insights into the future of sedans. Sedan Market Overview The share of sedans in the US auto market has declined over the past decade as SUVs and crossovers exploded in popularity. In 2012, sedans accounted for around 33% of vehicle sales compared to just 22% in 2022. Still, various factors continue driving sedan demand: Affordability – Sedans are generally cheaper than SUVs by $2,000-$5,000 when comparing similarly equipped models. You get more features per dollar. Fuel Economy – The sleeker shape and lower weight of sedans boosts mpg by 4-8 mpg on average versus SUVs. This saves considerably on gas costs over time. Ride and Handling – Sedans are engineered for a composed ride and agile handling thanks to their lower center of gravity versus taller SUVs. Ease of Entry/Exit – The lower seating height makes getting in and out simpler compared to climbing up into an SUV. Given these inherent advantages, sedans retain loyal buyers. The new 2023 and 2024 model year sedans aim to continue appealing to these shoppers through fresh designs, new technologies and upgraded performance. Most Exciting New Compact Sedans The compact sedan segment offers an ideal balance of affordability, parking ease and interior roominess. Upcoming debuts include: Honda Civic Honda Civic The venerable Civic sees a full redesign for 2022.

The Mazda 3 remains the enthusiast’s choice among compacts. Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza The Subaru Impreza retains its ace in the hole being standard all-wheel drive. This provides traction advantages over front-wheel drive rivals, especially in cold climates. Sedan and hatchback body styles offer practicality, while Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist technology adds active safety. With legendary Subaru build quality and durability, the Impreza warrants consideration from small car buyers needing AWD capability. These compact sedans and hatchbacks inject style and upgrades into a segment facing SUV competition.

Retuned steering and suspension components enhance capabilities. Pricing swells accordingly, but the M3 remains the force among four-door thrill machines. Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing A surprise addition for 2022, the diminutive CT4-V Blackwing coupe and sedan punches way above its weight. Motivation comes from a turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 kicking out 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. This slots the Blackwing between the standard 325 hp CT4-V and mammoth 650 hp CT5-V Blackwing models. Cadillac injects this variant with track-ready chassis upgrades to create an unexpected performance powerhouse. Audi S5 Sportback Audi S5 Sportback Splitting the difference between hardcore sport sedans and luxurious models, the Audi S5 Sportback provides a best-of-both experience.

Yet the supple suspension retains composure for long highway cruises. Inside the tech-filled cabin, passengers remain comfortable during aggressive maneuvers.

2022 Mercedes-Benz SL: Sportlicht, Indeed

Question: What’s the longest-running nameplate in the history of Mercedes-Benz? Answer: the SL, going all the way back to the W194 from 1952. You’d be forgiven, though, for thinking the two-seater, big-dollar roadster was no longer around.

Overshadowed by both the soon-to-be-discontinued S-Class Cabriolet and the AMG GT Roadster, the current-generation, ugly-is-bone-deep R231 SL has been a major sales disappointment for the men and women behind the three-pointed star. Only 1,791 people loved this underwhelming GT enough to buy one in 2019. Toyota sells more Land Cruisers. But fear not, Super-Leicht faithful, help in the form of a new SL is arriving next year.

Billed as the 2022 SL, the new convertible will be on sale by the latter half of 2021 and will be given the internal designation of R232. Returning to the model’s roots, we expect the SL to be much sportier than the current luxo-barge.

In fact, there may not even be a Mercedes-Benz SL, only a Mercedes-AMG SL. This assumption is bolstered by the fact that the next SL will be entirely designed by Mercedes’ in-house hot rod division, AMG. In fact, the R232 will be built on the next-generation AMG GT platform.

Spy shots indicate that the new SL will lose its now-traditional folding hardtop and instead go with a canvas roof. Seems as if the SL will grow from a two-seater to something like a 2+2 (not quite a four-seater, but plenty of duffel bag space behind the front seats), not only to differentiate it from the GT (a problem the current two-passenger car has vis-à-vis the current two-passenger GT) but also to fill the hole left in the lineup by the retired four-passenger S-Class Cab.

Powertrain choices will be many, starting with a RWD car (SL 43) perhaps powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. (We doubt Mercedes would port its archaic 3.0-liter V-6 to a 2022 model year product, though stranger things have happened.) Next would be an AWD model (SL 53 4Matic+) motivated by the brand’s M256 48-volt mild hybrid 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, plus something called the SL 73e 4Matic+.

Breaking down that last moniker, the 73e refers to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 in conjunction with a hybrid motor good for (probably) more than 800 horsepower, whereas 4Matic+ means all-wheel drive with Drift mode. There will also, of course, be an SL 63 4Matic+, as well as something called SL 55 S 4Matic+. We’re assuming that the SL 55 S will be a high-output version of the M256, i.e. an AMG-tuned inline-six. It’s looking like only the base SL 43 will be RWD-only.

You might expect every SL to use a version of Mercedes’ nine-speed automatic transmission. However, the current AMG GT uses a dual-clutch transaxle. We have to imagine that in order to keep up with the Joneses (Porsche 911, mid-engine Corvette), the GT will retain its dual-clutch and transaxle.

Therefore, it makes sense that the next SL will feature a dual-clutch transmission mounted behind the driver. But that would mean AWD SLs would need a second, long driveshaft returning from the transmission to power the front wheels, Nissan GT-R style. We think not.

Could the SL have an automatic while the GT retains its dual-clutch transaxle? Maybe, but super doubtful, as that’s overstretching a platform. AMG boss Tobias Moers has said that the SL is returning to its sporty roots, so maybe a dual-clutch transaxle for the rear wheels and the front wheels are powered by electricity?

Obviously, we have much to learn about the new Mercedes-Benz SL, including its price. But $100,000 seems like a logical place to start.
