Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 566,600 cars of the Mercedes-Benz and smart brands in the third quarter of this year (Q3 2019: 604,700). Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, deliveries from July through September benefited from a recovery in end-customer demand in many markets. This increased demand, the company said, could be met at short notice, in particular by reducing dealer inventories.

In China, Mercedes-Benz Cars' largest market, sales increased by 23% to 213,800 units (Q3 2019:173,300), setting a new record for a third quarter. In the US, Mercedes-Benz Cars delivered 52,000 vehicles, significantly below the prior-year level (Q3 2019: 75,700).

In Europe, 229,800 vehicles were sold (Q3 2019: 253,200), thus continuing the sales revival. In Germany, the region's core market, Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 84,200 vehicles, almost matching the prior-year level (Q3 2019: 85,100).
