ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported Q2 2024 group* sales of 84,662 Passenger Cars. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz Vans reported Q2 2024 sales of 10,934 units, bringing MBUSA to a total of 95,596 vehicles for the quarter.
“The industry and our dealer partners have navigated a challenging second quarter, but I’m very proud of our dealer partners’ unwavering focus on serving Mercedes-Benz’s valued customers. Stronger availability of models propelled Q2 passenger car group sales up 27% compared to Q1, and this momentum will continue to build as we expand our Plug-In Hybrid portfolio with the highly anticipated U.S. launch of the GLC 350e and the stunning AMG SL 63e S in Q3. We also look forward to welcoming an all-electric variant of our iconic new G-Class in the fall, further bolstering our compelling offerings at the top end of the market and providing customers an unmatched luxury of choice.”
