Mercedes-Benz reports further double-digit growth in unit sales

Mercedes-Benz delivered 133,441 vehicles to its customers (+10.9%) in November. Since the beginning of the year, the company has sold 1,322,500 cars, a growth of 10.7%. Sales rose particularly strongly in China (+26.1%) and in the NAFTA region (+13.2%). Mercedes-Benz was again the most-registered premium manufacturer in the United States and in the German market. Shortly after the model change, the S-Class is the highest-selling luxury sedan of the world. The new compact models are in great demand and the new E-Class also contributed to the strong growth in unit sales. Mercedes-Benz is the fastest-growing premium brand since the beginning of the year.

"In November, our strong new models once more generated record sales," said Ola Källenius, Member of the Divisional Board Mercedes-Benz Cars responsible for Marketing & Sales. "Therefore we have already achieved last year's total sales volume and we are the fastest-growing premium brand since the beginning of the year."

In the period January to November, the brand sold 605,662 cars in Europe, recording a 6.6 percent increase in unit sales. Growth was particularly strong in Italy (+31.1% in November) and in the UK where more than 101,285 cars have been supplied this year - almost one fifth more than in the same period last year (+19,2%). In its German home market, Mercedes-Benz further expanded its market share to 9.2% and was again the most-registered premium manufacturer. Since the beginning of the year the brand sold 235,261 vehicles (py. 238,393 u.).
