  • Total car sales outside China increased year-on-year, with growth including Europe (+4%) and North America (+13%)

Stuttgart. In the second quarter of 2026, Mercedes-Benz Group sold 511,900 cars and vans, up quarter-onquarter (+2%), despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds and softer consumer sentiment in parts of Asia. Outside China, total sales of cars and vans rose by 3% compared to the previous year quarter. Driven by strong demand for new model launches, Group-wide sales of battery electric vehicles rose by 50% year-on-year. As more new models from its launch plan reach the markets and with order books well filled, Mercedes-Benz is on track to sell more cars and vans in the second half of the year compared to the first half.

Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 417,800 vehicles in Q2 2026 (-8%). As in the first quarter, total sales outside China exceeded prior-year levels (+2%), supported by continued growth in key Western markets, including North America (+13%), Europe (+4%), with Germany up 6%. In China, an intensifying competitive environment and the timing of the company's current product ramp-ups led to a year-on-year sales decline. Press Information 08 July 2026 Page 2 

“Our largest-ever model launch plan is gaining traction. BEV sales rose by more than 50 per cent in the second quarter. Demand for the all-new electric GLC, electric CLA, and electric GLB is exceptionally strong. The new S-Class has made a successful start in Europe, with further regions to follow in the coming months. With the all-new electric C-Class, available to order since May, and the world premiere of the all-new electric GLA at the end of July, we are taking the next steps in our launch plan.”

Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 52,900 BEVs globally in Q2, an increase of 51% compared with the prior-year period. In Europe, BEV sales increased by 87% to 43,500 units, nearly doubling the BEV share to 26%. In Germany, BEV sales more than doubled, and the BEV share nearly doubled to 24%. This development underscores the success of the company’s new electric vehicle portfolio and forms a strong basis for Mercedes-Benz’s ambition to significantly increase electric vehicle sales in 2026 as the availability of new models increases. The all-new electric C-Class has been available to order since May in Europe. Market introduction in Europe is planned in the coming months, expanding the electric offering in the Core segment. 

The global BEV share increased significantly to 13% (Q2 2025: 7.7%), despite the new electric models still ramping up across markets. Electrified vehicles also continued to grow in importance in the European sales mix. The xEV share reached 43% in Europe. Globally, xEV sales reached 87,500 vehicles in Q2, representing an xEV share of 21%.
