Mercedes-Benz sales – Still number one in the premium car segment

Mercedes-Benz remained number one in 2019 with over 2,3 million cars sold throughout 2019. It was the highest sales volume in the company’s history. Mercedes remains the leader of the premium car segment, despite efforts from rivals BMW and Audi.

2019 came and went as the ninth consecutive record year, marking a 1.3% growth up to a total of 2,339,562 units delivered worldwide, while BMW convinced 2,170,000 customers and Audi sold 1,850,000 cars.

The Stuttgart-based premium company thus kept its leading position at the top of the premium segment and it did the same in markets such as Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and South Africa.

Mercedes posted a new record in the Asia-Pacific region, delivering 977,922 units there, 693,443 of them in China, which means more than in any other market. China has been Mercedes-Benz’s largest sales market since 2015.
