Sales of Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars rose 1% in the third quarter to 503,600 units and remained on last years’ level while Plug-in-Hybrids sales increased globally by 10% – mainly driven by the U.S. market.

“Mercedes-Benz sold more than 500,000 cars from July to September, a slight increase compared with the second quarter and in line with the prior-year period. Offering desirable products is the best way to forge ahead as consumer demand softens in some important markets,” said Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
