Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division posted double-digit growth in car sales in October, helped by strong demand for the new C-Class, which boosted sales in Europe, offsetting a slump in the United States.
World-side sales of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars rose 11.5 per cent to 140,941 vehicles, the company said on Friday, driven by a 40 per cent jump in sales of the new C-Class sedan, which started to hit showrooms in March.
Sales of the S-Class limousine jumped 60.2 per cent, Daimler said.
Sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars rose 9.8 per cent in Europe alone, boosted by a 4.5 per cent gain in Germany and a 56.3 per cent jump in Spain.
Sales in China rose 33.4 per cent, and demand in the United States fell 4.9 per cent as the new C-Class was just rolled out into showrooms in September.
