Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 453,700 cars (-9%) in the second quarter.

Sales in other markets of the world increased significantly by 24% in the second quarter, driven by Turkey and markets in South America.
 
Top-End sales represented 14.3% of overall sales. Top-End deliveries to customers (retail sales) increased by 5%, reaching 69,000 units driven by ongoing strong customer demand for Mercedes-AMG vehicles (+19%) and the G-Class (+56%). Especially in the U.S., customer demand for Top-End vehicles remained strong, leading to a surge in retail deliveries to customers of 15%. As the second largest market, Mercedes-Benz strengthened its position in the U.S. with strong investments, including the reimagined Mercedes-Benz of Manhattan Flagship Dealership. In China, Mercedes-Benz retained its number one position in the Top-End luxury segment in the first half of the year.

In September, the all-new electric GLC will be revealed which will strengthen the electric vehicle portfolio in the mid-size segment.

Mercedes-Benz Vans

"The Mercedes-Benz Vans result for Q2 2025 shows a positive development of 13% relative to Q1 2025. The growth on the quarter is driven by an increased momentum in both private and commercial vans. We are encouraged to see the intensification of our efforts to deliver a premium customer experience and electrification of the portfolio, translated into a 7% growth for private vans and 42% for eVans in the first half of the year."
Sagree Sardien, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans Sales & Marketing

Due to increased demand, deliveries to customers rose 18% on the quarter. Overall retail sales momentum remains influenced by a highly competitive market environment. German retail sales were up by 27% on the quarter supported by strong customer demand. Second quarter sales of electric vans, which increased by 32% year-on-year, lead electric vans to account for 7% of overall sales, and to total 10% of Europe sales. A further customer highlight was that Mercedes-Benz Vans concluded the largest single order of electric vans ever with 5,000 vans to be delivered to the Amazon's transportation network within the coming months.

In the first half of the year, commercial segment sales amounted to 82% of total sales, thus demonstrating the continued high relevance of commercial vans.
