Mercedes-Benz Crosses The 4 Million SUV Milestone

In its most successful August in its over 100 years of history, German premium automaker Mercedes Benz sold an impressive 156,246 cars globally.

And while demand is up for all high-end automotive marques– BMW is midway as a result of its most effective year of perpetuity – it’s SUVs that are leading the charge.

“SUVs once again contributed substantially to the best-ever unit sales by Mercedes-Benz this August,” Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG working for Mercedes-Benz Cars Marketing & Sales. “Mercedes-Benz has already delivered more than 4 million SUVs to clients worldwide. Their appeal is rising year on year.”

Of the 156,246 cars sold during the past month, 56,286 – that’s simple over 1 in 3 – were of the SUV range.

Mercedes is preparing an even larger push into the SUV market over the coming months and is tipped to reveal a plug-in electrical SUV to challenge the Tesla Model X at the Paris Motor show in October.
