09/11/2015
In China, the total number of cars sold in 2014 was surpassed in October, with 299,375 vehicles delivered to customers in the first 10 months of the year (+32.1%). This was partially due to a sales record in October, with an increase of 42.9% to 33,088 units.
In Japan, 53,616 vehicles were sold in the first 10 months (+11.7%). Mercedes-Benz is the market leader amongst the premium manufacturers in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Ola Källenius, marketing director, said: “Our SUVs are especially popular in China, above all the GLK; half of all those cars sold this year have gone to customers in China. We expect even stronger growth from that model’s successor, the GLC.”
