U EU je Mercedes još uvijek jači i od Audia i od BMW-a. Jedino gdje je BMW bio prodavaniji u 2019. godini je u SAD-u, i to prvi puta u povijesti.

2017. godina:

Mercedes-Benz remains the world’s most popular luxury car brand, outselling its German arch-rivals BMW and Audi for the third successive year.

Combined sales of Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs were 2,310,185 units last calendar year, up 0.6 per cent on 2017. This doesn't include vans, which are sold by a distinct organisation.

But it was a close-run thing. The BMW brand sold 1,959,460 cars, though its growth rate was higher. Audi sales, meanwhile, dipped 3.5 per cent in a “difficult environment” (tough WLTP emissions rules, which wreaked havoc across the VW Group) to 1,812,500 units.

The BMW brand registered 1 075 959 units over the first six months of 2019, representing an increase of 1,6 percent, year on year. The Mercedes-Benz brand, meanwhile, reached 1 134 729 units over the same period, shrinking by 4,6 percent. By our maths, that sees the Stuttgart-based automaker ahead by 58 770 units (for the record, Audi delivered 906 200 units, some 4,5 percent down).
