10 Jan 2020|1,374 views
2019 was the ninth consecutive record year for Mercedes-Benz, with a growth of 1.3% amounting to a total of 2,339,562 units delivered worldwide.
Mercedes-Benz also maintained its leading position among the luxury car brands for the fourth year in a row. In all three of its main markets - China, Germany and the U.S.A - the brand surpassed the high levels of the previous year.
China remained the main growth driver, with sales of 693,443 units representing an increase of 6.2% and a new record year. Last year's model offensive with a total of more than 10 new or revised models led to a significant boost in unit sales, particularly of compact cars and SUVs, and contributed to the overall sales growth.
With sales of about 783,700 units, SUVs were Mercedes-Benz's strongest-selling segment in 2019. Since August 2019, deliveries have increased every month, driven by the new GLC and GLE. The GLC was once again the best-selling SUV in the model portfolio in 2019. Last year, the G-Class was able to improve on its record sales of 2017 by more than 13,000 units, with a total of 34,912 delivered vehicles resulting in a strong sales increase of more than 60% over 2018. The previous sales record set in 2017 was already surpassed in August 2019.


The new A-Class posted a global growth of 12.3% in 2019, while the A-Class Saloon and the new B-Class as well as the new CLA Coupe in Europe made significant contributions to the segment's growth.
With the GLB, which launched in December 2019, the Mercedes-Benz compact car family now consists of eight models, while the new GLA completes the model changes for the current generation of compact cars from Mercedes-Benz.
