Unit volume last month rose 15.2% year on year to 149,753 while year to date sales were up 14.7% to 1,048,178 due to strong sales of the C-Class and compact models.

It’s the first time Mercedes has sold 1m units the first seven months of a year.

“About a quarter of them are C-Class Saloons and estates,” marketing and sales chief Ola Källenius said.
