Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS

Mercedes-Benz’s superluxury Maybach brand ended Q1 2022 by recording its best-ever quarter, with sales up by 161 percent. The latest generation W223 / V223 generation 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class also recorded a similarly impressive 67 percent increase in sales. The company didn’t provide a breakdown of its sales figures by model but said sales of its top-end models, which include not just the S-Class and Maybach but also the GLS, G-Class, AMG, and EQS models, reached 76,200 units in the first 3 m

Last month, we posted about how important China is to Mercedes-Benz Cars, and that it contributes 36 percent of the three-pointed star’s global passenger car sales. In a hyper-competitive economy where an S-Class is not seen as a flagship sedan but a minimum acceptable business sedan, and that an E-Class is perceived as a car for a businessman facing cash flow issues, never mind a ‘lowly’ C-Class, every super rich Chinese worth his / her bling wants a Maybach.
