Mercedes-Benz reports 71,098 car sales in the United States during the third quarter of 2023 (excluding commercial vans), which is 1.8 percent less than a year ago and the third consecutive quarter of decline. So far this year, car sales amounted to 209,916 (down 1.8 percent as well).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz’s all-electric car sales significantly increased compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

In Q3, the company sold\u00a010,423 BEVs (up 284 percent year-over-year), which accounts for 14.7 percent of the brand’s total volume (compared to 3.8 percent a year ago).<\/p>\n

The best-selling electric models during the period were the EQE SUV (3,488) and the EQB (3,270). However, at the same time, we saw that the EQS\u00a0Sedan noted 35 percent fewer sales than a year ago (1,100 versus 1,701), which suggests weakening, as well as fierce competition in this segment. The EQE SUV and EQS SUV, together with the EQB, are now the main force behind Mercedes-Benz’s electrification.<\/p>\n
