Riepilogo
• Overall global car sales grew 5%, excluding China, supported by strong sales in Europe and the U.S.
• Strong BEV growth for Mercedes-Benz Cars in Europe (+34%) and Germany (+36%), driven by the all-new electric CLA
• Order books for electric CLA, GLB and GLC filled well into the second half of the year; Order intake for the new S-Class in Europe above expectations following January sales release
• Double-digit sales growth in eVans (+29%) and stable demand for commercial vans
• Strong pipeline of new products: Q1 highlights included the world premieres of the new S-Class, VLE, Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, GLE, and GLS
In the first quarter of 2026, Mercedes-Benz Group sold 499,700 cars and vans, in
line with the company’s expectations. Battery-electric vehicle sales increased by 11% at Group level.
Strong demand for newly launched models and continued growth in key markets supported the ongoing
product ramp-up in 2026.
Mercedes-Benz Cars
In line with expectations, Mercedes-Benz Cars recorded wholesale deliveries of 419,400 (-6%) cars in the first quarter. Excluding China, global sales increased by 5% compared with the prior year. Growth in the U.S. and Europe partially offset lower sales in China amid model-cycle effects, macroeconomic uncertainties and challenging market conditions. While recent model launches are supporting sales prospects in the coming quarters, the company continues to closely monitor the geopolitical environment, the conflict in the Middle East and its potential impact on global consumer sentiment.
“The first quarter was characterised by sales growth outside of China, alongside an excellent market response to our newly launched models. The new electric GLC has generated more orders in the first three months than any other electric vehicle in our history, while order intakes for the other new models, including the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, significantly exceed our expectations. Further tailwinds will come from the recently unveiled GLE and GLS, alongside the upcoming world premiere of the all-new electric C-Class. As the availability of our new products scales up, we remain highly focused on converting strong customer interest into overall sales momentum in the coming months.”
