Mercedes-Benz Middle East November sales up over 18%

This brings year-to-date deliveries to 15,245, a 5.7% increase over the same period last year, which keeps Mercedes-Benz on track to hit another annual sales record.

Sales of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class rose 97% for the month, and 44% compared to last year's year-to-date results (3,652 vs. 2,752).

Other highlights for the month include gains for the award-winning GL-Class full-size luxury SUV which posted a 92% increase over the same month last year, while the region's favourite luxury sedan, the S-Class, continued to prove popular with deliveries up more than seven percent over the same month in 2006.

November deliveries of the popular E-Class sedan were up over two percent while the icon of the SUV range the G-Class saw deliveries rise more than 66%.

"The C-Class has proved the hit of the year with our customers who love the choice of a traditional or sporty face," said Johannes Fritz, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Middle East and Levant. "The award-winning full-size GL-Class, the flagship of our SUV range, is also proving a big success, while we expect the mid-range E-Class to continue to sell strongly for a further 12 months before the new generation model arrives."
