Of the nearly 45,000 vehicles sold by the German automaker last year, 95.8 % were equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, a tribute to the all-weather performance of Mercedes-Benz’ AWD system. Diesel engines also proved quite popular and accounted for 71 % of the sales of vehicles offering BlueTEC engines.
The new-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class performed very well with an increase of 50.7 % in sales while the GLA also did very well with a total of 3,719 units sold. The new GLE, formerly the M-Class, saw its sales increase by 6 %.
“Mercedes-Benz Canada has capped off an excellent year, one that was truly record-breaking on so many levels. I wholeheartedly congratulate my predecessor Tim A. Reuss and his team for a job extremely well done”, said Gareth T. Joyce, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada. “I could not ask for a more opportune moment to take over the helm and to build upon the proven success that has been achieved through the concerted efforts of all Mercedes-Benz employees, the Mercedes-Benz Canada national dealer network and the colleagues at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
