Mercedes-Benz has reported a total of 525,300 cars and vans sold in Q3 2025, driven by strong Top-End vehicle demand and rising electric vehicle (EV) sales, despite challenging market conditions in China and dynamic tariffs in the U.S. The company’s focus on expanding its EV portfolio is evident with the launch of the electric CLA and improved availability of eVans, marking the largest product launch campaign in Mercedes-Benz history.
EV Sales Surge with New Electric Models
Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales for Mercedes-Benz cars and vans rose 9 percent year-on-year and 22 percent quarter-on-quarter, fueled by the debut of the electric CLA in Europe and enhanced eVan offerings. Plug-In-Hybrid (PHEV) sales also grew by 20 percent in Q3, driving total xEV sales to 96,300 units, a 10 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
Mercedes-Benz’s EV momentum is reinforced by upcoming launches, including the electric GLC, CLA Shooting Brake, and the electric C-Class, alongside the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Cabriolet, expanding both the Top-End and EV portfolios. The company’s commitment to electrification is further supported by customer-centric initiatives like the Van Uptime Monitor Digital Extra, providing real-time diagnostics and operational efficiency for commercial van users.
Strong Global Performance Amid Market Challenges
In Q3, Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 441,500 units, with Top-End vehicle sales reaching 67,800 units, up 10 percent year-on-year. China remained a key market for Top-End vehicles, with segment sales priced over 1 million RMB increasing 13 percent year-on-year. In Europe, sales grew by 2 percent, led by Germany (+3 percent), Spain (+5 percent), and Poland (+20 percent). Other markets like the Gulf States (+33 percent), Turkey (+15 percent), and South America (+45 percent) showed robust growth.
Mercedes-Benz Vans sold 83,800 vehicles in Q3, with electric vans making up 14 percent of total van sales in Europe. Year-to-date van sales reached 260,200 units, including 20,200 electric vans, reflecting a 61 percent increase over the prior year and growing customer adoption of EV solutions for commercial and private use.

Mercedes-Benz’s strategic focus on electric vehicles, Top-End offerings, and premium services is driving both growth and brand loyalty. The combination of innovative EV launches, market-leading Top-End vehicles, and enhanced customer experiences positions Mercedes-Benz to expand its global EV footprint while maintaining strong performance across all vehicle segments.
