According to the press release of Daimler, the sales of Mercedes in November amounted to 182,602 vehicles. The numbers show a 12.7 percent increase compared to the same month of last year.
The big contributors in the figures shown in November were the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate models. However, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class remained as the most popular range of the brand during the period.
The source said around one million C-Class Saloons and Estate models have been delivered to customers globally since its current generation units came out in 2014. On the other hand, 26,915 E-Class Saloon and Estate models were delivered to buyers in November, which translates to a 38.6% rise in sales.
