11 Jul 2016|1,342 views
Mercedes-Benz completed the first half of 2016 with new records. In the period of January through June, 1,006,619 vehicles with the three-pointed star were delivered (+12.1 percent). In June, 188,444 Mercedes-Benz cars were handed over to customers all over the world (+11.1 percent). Mercedes-Benz thus posted record unit sales for the 40th month in succession.
Sales of the A- and B-Class, the CLA, CLA Shooting Brake and GLA totalled 59,423 units in June (+9.3 percent). 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 percent).
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 Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) from Mercedes-Benz surpassed their previous record set in June 2015 by 43 percent, with sales of 62,175 units this June. Sales growth of 46.1 percent 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 with a second coupe expanding the SUV segment. The new GLC Coupe has been driving off the assembly lines in Bremen since June.
