Toronto - Mercedes-Benz Canada reported today its best May ever, with deliveries of 1,789 units and an increase of 15.8% for the month.
A total of 1,333 Mercedes-Benz units were retailed in May, accounting for a 13.4% increase for the month while 6,036 units were sold on a year-to-date basis for a gain of 37.5% compared to the first five months of 2005.
On the smart side, a momentous total of 456 smart fortwo coupés and cabriolets was delivered in May. This corresponds to an increase of 23.6% against May 2005 sales and is the best month ever for smart since the launch of the brand in September 2004.
For the group (Mercedes-Benz and smart), 7,560 units have been delivered so far this year which represents a gain of 1,535 units or 25.5% when compared to last year’s results for the first five months. May's compelling results follow in the wake of strong previous months' sales.
The B-Class, C-Class and SLK-Class performed particularly well in May. The new 2007 S-Class also achieved stellar results as did the award-winning M-Class SUV.
President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada, Marcus Breitschwerdt, remarked: "Further to several consecutive months of strong growth and record sales, it is now quite apparent that our customer-focused approach is a testimony to these significant accomplishments. The combination of our serious focus on quality as a fundamental Mercedes-Benz core value, competitive offers and a dedicated dealer network are most certainly key to the success we have been experiencing."
