Mercedes-Benz breaches 1M-sales mark in H1 2023

Mercedes-Benz sold 1,019,200 automobiles in the first half of 2023.

Per the report of the German carmaker, its overall global sales from January to June reflected a five-percent growth compared to the same period last year when it sold 974,100 cars.

Mercedes-Benz stated that the high demand for battery-electric vehicles (BEV) was one of the reasons that spurred the growth of its global sales. On that note, the marque handed over 112,900 BEV examples in the full six months of the year. Comparing it to the company’s BEV sales in the same time frame in 2022, (58,600 units), it has nearly doubled and translated to a growth of 93 percent.

Asia proved to be Mercedes-Benz’s best market with sales of 486,900 units in the first half of the year. It was followed by Europe with 321,000 units and North America with 173,900 units in the same time frame.

“With our focus on sustainable growth, we posted higher sales across all main regions and segments – especially for our electric and top-end vehicles. Our pipeline of desirable products remains fresh, for example with the introduction of the new E-Class and CLE. The transformation of our sales network continues with the successful introduction of the direct sales model in Germany and Turkey in Q2, following the UK (United Kingdom) earlier this year,” Mercedes-Benz Member of the Board of Management responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Marketing and Sales Britta Seeger was quoted saying.
