A report by Automobile News reveals that in the entire year of 2023, the BMW brand sold an impressive total of 2,253,835 cars, marking a new milestone for the German automaker. This represents a 7% increase in sales compared to the previous year.
Following closely behind in second place is Mercedes-Benz, with accumulated sales of 2,043,800 cars in 2023, almost on par with the previous year.
Similar to BMW, Mercedes-Benz has also experienced a significant surge in zero-emission car sales, reaching a total of 222,600 units. This represents a remarkable 73% increase compared to the previous year. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have focused on selling electric vehicles across various price ranges. Audi retains its third position with a noteworthy growth rate of 18%, selling a total of 1,895,240 cars.
Tesla Inc, the US-based electric vehicle manufacturer, secured the fourth position with a remarkable growth rate of 38% compared to the same period last year.
