Mercedes-Benz USA Reports July Sales of 20,034 Units
August 01, 2018 01:30 PM Eastern Daylight TimeATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported July sales of 20,034 Mercedes-Benz models, a decrease of 22.7% from July 2017. Mercedes-Benz Vans reported July sales of 2,921 units (up 5.9%) and smart reported 103 units, bringing MBUSA to a grand total of 23,058 vehicles for the month. On a year-to-date basis, sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles totaled 178,882, with an additional 19,831 units for Vans and 753 vehicles for smart, bringing the sales volume to 199,466, a decrease of 4.4% from last year.
“July sales were impacted by a number of factors, resulting in a temporary dealer inventory shortfall relating to our changeover to model year 2019,” said Dietmar Exler, president and CEO of MBUSA. “We also experienced a mainframe outage which affected our dealers’ ability to conduct business during the busiest week of the month. The IT recovery is nearing completion, and we are working closely with our customers and dealers to help alleviate any inconvenience resulting from the model year 2019 delays. While we expect to replenish our inventory levels in the fall, these developments will likely have a negative impact on sales in the coming months.”
Mercedes-Benz volume leaders in July included the GLE, GLC and C-Class model lines. The GLE took the lead at 4,447, followed closely by GLC sales of 4,446. The C-Class rounded out the top three with 3,841 units sold.
July sales of Mercedes-AMG high-performance totaled 2,008 units, with 17,328 vehicles sold year-to-date.
Separately, Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) models recorded sales of 10,508 vehicles in July, an increase of 21.4% when compared to the same month last year (8,654). On a year-to-date basis, MBCPO sold 72,629 vehicles, an increase of 5.5% over 2017 (68,848).

The 1 vehicle I want to see struggle in hopes of even better incentives, the GX, its sales went through the roof. The LS numbers should improve really nicely in Aug with its aggressive lease promotion. The LC will be down to double digit monthly sales by next year. I'm surprised by the decline in NX numbers.

I can't believe that Acura has pulled off this RDX. What an awakening for them! Lexus really needs both strong Acura and Infiniti to fight the Germans. If rumors turn out to be true what's next for Acura is Type-R model range with turbo V6 and RDX is supposedly one of them.

Are these numbers for the new RDX? It's a damn good looking and seemingly well engineered crossover, well deserved.
The NX needs to go back to the drawing board on TNGA.

Unfortunately, we will get another 10 sports cars before the NX gets any real attention and the RXL with a true 3rd row.
