Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG

In the U.S., deliveries to customers came in at 303,200 units (+1%), whereas group sales were impacted by stock management. Overall, sales were influenced by tariffs and the competitive market environment.
"Following the outstanding start of the new CLA, demand for the new all-electric GLC is now also significantly exceeding our expectations. This strong momentum is also demonstrated by one of the most successful years in AMG’s history and the best-ever sales for the G-Class. It confirms the attractiveness of our products."
Mathias Geisen, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Sales & Customer Experience
In 2025, Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars achieved sales growth in European markets such as Germany (+1%, excluding smart run out), Spain (+6%) and Poland (+6%), as well as other important markets such as South America (+54%), Australia (+10%), Turkey (+11%) and the Gulf States (+3%). In the U.S. market, tariffs and diligent stock management impacted group sales in 2025. However, deliveries to customers increased by 1% in the U.S. market. In a competitive market environment in China, Mercedes-Benz continues to focus on providing long-term value for customers and superior product and tech experiences. In 2025, Mercedes-Benz retained its leading market share in the segment priced 1 million RMB and above in China.
Top-End Vehicle sales in 2025 reached 268,000 units, representing a 15%-share of overall sales. Mercedes‑AMG achieved one of its best sales results in its history with 145,000 performance vehicles (+7%) delivered to customers in 2025 as the brand enters a new dimension of performance with the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe, based on the high-performance electric architecture (AMG.EA) launching in 2026. The CONCEPT AMG GT XX as a pioneering technology program that offers technical insights into AMG.EA already set a total of 25 performance records in 2025.
Furthermore, the success story of the Mercedes-Benz off-road icon G-Class continues with best-ever sales in 2025 reaching 49,700 customer deliveries (+23%) and sales growth in all key regions. The electric G-Class has substantially contributed to this sales performance, attracting an expanded customer base. Customers can also look forward to new models of the G-Class that will expand the product offering.
Mercedes-Maybach demonstrated its resilience in 2025 with a growing sales share of the S-Class. Every third S-Class sold in 2025 was a Mercedes-Maybach model, and in China even every second. The company is set to present the most extensive update of the S-Class on January 29, followed by the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and GLS update in the course of the year.
Fourth quarter Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) sales increased by 3% compared to Q4 last year and 18% compared to the prior quarter, mainly driven by the new electric CLA. Global Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) sales increased by 9% in 2025, thereby leading to 368,600 electrified vehicle sales (+0%) worldwide in the full-year. In Europe, Mercedes-Benz Cars achieved its highest-ever sales of electrified vehicles (xEV) in 2025, resulting in a 40% xEV-share. In many markets, including France, Denmark, India and Australia, the company sold more Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) than ever before.
The all-new electric CLA, fueled by its recognition as the best vehicle ever tested by the German car magazine ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ and by the “Car of the Year 2026” award by the European Car of the Year jury, sees demand significantly rising, with order books filling rapidly. This momentum now extends to the wider portfolio: The CLA Shooting Brake, the all-new electric GLB and the highly efficient electrified models of the CLA are now also available to order in Europe, offering customers the full range of choices. The all-new electric GLC celebrated its world premiere at the IAA in Munich with order books already filled well into the second half of 2026.
Mercedes-Benz Cars enters 2026 continuing its biggest product and tech launch program in the company’s history. Key highlights will include the major update of the S-Class, GLE and GLS, the market introduction of the new electric GLC and CLA Shooting Brake, the premiere of the first series model on the AMG electric architecture as well as the premiere of the new electric C-Class and the new GLA. All new products will deliver an exceptional customer experience, powered by the new Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) with intuitive digital features and a ‘Welcome Home’ feeling of comfort and safety.

For the full year, Mercedes-Benz Vans reached 359,100 units in a highly competitive market environment. In the German market, Mercedes-Benz Vans has managed to keep sales at prior year’s level.
Sales of eVans are up by 46% in 2025 leading to a global EV share of 8% for the full-year with Europe reaching 11%. The development is mainly driven by the full availability of the electric van portfolio and is proving that Mercedes-Benz eVans match customers’ needs.
2025, the Sprinter has celebrated 30 years of success, still marking namesake for an entire vehicle class. In October, Mercedes-Benz Vans offered a first glimpse of how Mercedes‑Benz Vans will be reinventing the commercial van once again. In addition, on March 10, Mercedes-Benz Vans will redefine the privately positioned van with the world premiere of the new all-electric VLE, built on the new, modular, and highly flexible van architecture.
“Amidst a highly dynamic and volatile market condition, we closed the year with a solid sales performance, thanks to our strong product portfolio. We want to sincerely thank our customers for their continued trust and loyalty in our brand. We are looking forward to 2026, where we will begin a new era at Mercedes-Benz Vans, presenting our all-new electric VLE that will reinvent the privately positioned van segment.”
