Even though new-car sales continue to rebound, that pace seemed to slow a bit in the US for September, but Mercedes-Benz had plenty to brag about. Last month, the automaker sold 142,994 vehicles around the world marking the best sales month ever in its 87-year history - thanks in large part to the redesigned E-Class lineup and new compacts like the A-Class and CLA-Class.
Europe remains the biggest market for Mercedes, accounting a half (71,085) of its global sales last month, but sales in Asia, not surprisingly, are coming on strong. In the whole of that region, Mercedes sold 39,013 units, with China being the top market sales in the region with 20,375 units (up 21.2 percent). Interestingly, Japan is the fastest-growing Mercedes market up 31.4 percent in September and 28.8 percent year-to-date. In the US, Mercedes moved 24,697 last month, an increase of almost 7 percent over 2012.Continue reading Mercedes’ September sales best in company’s 87-year history
