Stuttgart
- In the year prior to its model change, the C-Class remains the
bestseller in the Mercedes-Benz model range. More than two
million units have been delivered to customers all around the
world since the launch of the current series in March 2000. That
makes today's lineup of this model - consisting of Sedan,
Station Wagon and Sports Coupé the best-selling C-Class in the
history of the company. Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice
President Mercedes Car Group with responsibility for sales and
marketing, said: "The C-Class has achieved excellent sales
over its entire lifecycle and is our best-selling model series.
It combines comfort and elegant design with the highest
standards of safety and sets the benchmark for the entire
mid-sized premium car segment."
With around 1.4 million units sold
since the market launch in May 2000 the C-Class Sedan has
continued its predecessors' success story.
Since spring 2001, some 330,000 customers have decided on
the Station Wagon. The Sports Coupé, which joined the model
family in spring 2001, has logged up 283,000 sales to date.
Germany is the biggest market for the C-Class, accounting for
more than 30 percent of global sales. In fact, the C-Class has
sold more units here since its market launch in spring 2000 than
any of its premium competitors. The second largest market for
the C-Class is the USA, which accounts for almost 20 percent of
the global sales volume.
