Mercedes-Benz unit sales by model

Sales of the A- and B-Class, the CLA, CLA Shooting Brake and GLA totalled 59,423 units in June (+9.3%). Increased demand in China compared with the prior-year month was the main factor behind this best-ever June sales for the compact cars from Mercedes-Benz. In the first half of the year, 319,626 customers worldwide were able to take delivery of their new compact car, more than ever before (+18.6%).

More than 200,000 units of the C-Class Saloon and Estate have already been sold this year. One reason for this is the long-wheelbase version of the C-Class Saloon, which is offered exclusively in China and achieved a new all time high in June and the first six months. The C-Class segment has now been strengthened with the addition of the C-Class Cabriolet, which can now be ordered in Europe.

The SUVs from Mercedes-Benz surpassed their previous record set in June 2015 by 43%, with sales of 62,175 units this June. Sales growth of 46.1% in the first half of the year was even stronger (339,541 units). This means that SUVs meanwhile account for one third of the total unit sales of Mercedes-Benz. And the product offensive is continuing: a second coupe will expand the SUV segment. The new GLC Coupé has been driving off the assembly lines in Bremen since June.
