The once-prevailing glory of Mercedes-Benz Korea is being challenged by the rapid ascent of Porsche and Tesla, cementing their reputations as highly sought-after electric vehicle (EV) brands in the imported car market. The local subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz still remains one of the two top-selling foreign carmakers here, along with BMW Korea, but it appears increasingly unlikely to retain its former glory in the rapidly emerging EV industry.
