The new GLE gave the results a nice boost. A very strong showing for the pre-refreshed GLC with the new one right around the corner. GLS sales still down big as the new one arrives to dealers. A nice jump for the S-Class despite its age. Sedans overall dropped big as the trend to SUVs continues.

This is very impressive for Mercedes-Benz considering this gain doesn't include the new GLC or GLS.

I am sure the strong showing for the GLC is strong discounts for the outgoing version.
The A Class got off to a good start.

Wow, those MBenz sales are really good. The Mercedes Service Department folks must be really excited. Look at all the future business coming their way!

I would imagine the new GLB will be a huge hit in Fall.

The G Class is KILLING it, since when did this specialty vehicle turn into a volume player, 501 units is crazy from a profit standpoint, not to mention the AMG GT still going strong.

The new A Class is definitely pulling its weight and the GLE embarrassed the X5

Things should get very interesting with the GLS arriving

The G-Wagon is so popular in NYC and the Hamptons, you think MB priced it at GLE levels.

I'm astonished that so many people are selecting this $140,000, vehicle that , though refreshed, is hard to see out of, small inside, drives poorly in everyday use, and gets 10 MPG. Wow, impressed!

Amazing that the Model S still easily outsells the S-Class after all these years.

Lol just because it’s called “Model S” don’t confuse it with an S Class competitor. It’s amazing Tesla still can turn a profit after all these years....

Benz may have to write them another check or bail them out as they did before...sad

Majority of increase is from A-class addition.
