Mercedes-Benz Sales Slow in China
The sales environment for German luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz has become “a bit more challenging” in China, as sales growth slowed over the summer, a senior company executive for the luxury auto brand said.
Luxury car sales have defied a marked slowdown in the growth rate of China’s overall auto market this year and have been soaring. Sales by Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz unit grew nearly 60% during the first half of this year. But sales growth slowed in July and August, said Klaus Maier, head of Mercedes-Benz in China, in an interview Friday. For the first eight months of the year, Mercedes-Benz sales in China totaled 123,590, up 41% from a year earlier, he said. The company didn’t release specific Mercedes-Benz sales-growth figures in China for July or August.
