Sales of electrified models exceeded all expectations, registering an increase of 142.7% to 184,369 units. This result is due to the very good figures recorded by the full electric models. In 9 months of 2021, 13,021 Mercedes EQA and 17,938 Mercedes EQC were sold. It is expected that the sales of electric models will continue to increase in the next months after the new EQS was launched in August 2021.

Total sales increased 3% to 1,617,508 units. Mercedes sales results would have been even better if there had been no semiconductor crisis. This affected sales in the third quarter of 2021 and especially in September 2021.

The increase in sales of the luxury sub-brands AMG, Maybach and G-Class also played an important role in the return of sales.
