Mercedes-Benz USA Reports Best-Ever June Sales Of 28,994

Jul 3, 2017 – ATLANTA

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported best-ever June sales of 28,994 units, an increase of 1.8%, closing out the second-quarter at 161,960 year-to-date. Mercedes-Benz Vans also reported best-ever June sales with 3,108 units and smart reported 226 units, bringing the MBUSA grand total to 32,328 vehicles for the month, up 1.1% from last year.

"June was a great month for both passenger cars and Vans," said Dietmar Exler, president and CEO of MBUSA. "We are in a good position for a strong second half of the year, particularly with exciting products that will fill the pipeline like the E-Class Coupe, E-Class Cabriolet, S-Class Sedan and new AMG models."

Mercedes-Benz volume leaders in June included the C-Class, GLE and E-Class (including the CLS) model lines. The C-Class took the lead at 7,116, followed by GLE sales of 4,824. The E- Class rounded out the top three with 4,316 units sold. Mercedes-AMG high-performance models sold 2,711 units in June, with a total 17,030 sold year-to-date (up 55.6%).

Separately, Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) models recorded sales of 8,954 vehicles in June, a decrease of 7.2% when compared to the same month last year (9,646). On a year-to-date basis, MBCPO sold 60,193 vehicles, a decrease of 0.3% over 2016 (60,346).

Another month with no sales chart/ model breakdown from Daimler. Policy change?

Feel like they are hiding something. 

With that said, I am surprised that people are still buying the hunk of junk Sprinter vans. Talk about cheap interiors that easily break. Non reliable power trains and problematic suspensions. I see less and less on the roads around Washington. More Ford, GM and RAM vans. 

My brother in law who thought the diesels would be long life low maintenance, low cost just unloaded the last of his service vans replacing them with Ford and GM traditional vans which have proven to last better than the junk Sprinters.

^ Weird. I had to really dig to find last month's chart, and that was in mid-June. Strange.

dfelt- the Sprinters have lost huge marketshare now that every other mainstream brand has a Euro van. IIRC, Ford actually is #1 in this segment.

They sold 2,711 AMG's in June.  I still think the GLC should be able to do 5,000 a month without stealing from any other Mercedes, when you look at how much volume is in the Acura-Lincoln-XT5-RX segment there.  The G-wagen is on pace for its 5th consecutive record breaking sales year.

S-class continues to tank! Not exactly "particularly exciting", after all.

CT6 meanwhile continues to march upward in the full-size lux sedan segment: it easily outsold the Audi A7 & A8 combined, it outsold the 7-series by 50%. Daimler's S-class only sold 155 more units in June than the CT6, down a whopping 22% - and the gap keeps shrinking.

You know; for those who think sales unequivocally tells you which vehicle is bestest. :D

Ha, the Continental costs half as much.  How did the Continental do compared to the Camry?

So what...why should one automatically want to pay as much as possible for a car?

Well the S-class is about to get a refresh, so there is a burn out of the 2017s, as the first 2018s started production today.  In fact, the S-class today became the first car ever to drive itself off the production line and to the loading area 1 mile away.
