The brand sold a total of 2,572 cars last year in the premium category, a 40% rise compared to the previous year, Mercedes said based on Datahouse data. 

Mercedes attributes the success to its refreshed and expanded product line on offer last year. “We were able to close eleven record months [last year], which is chiefly due to our product line,” said Tamás Hesz of Mercedes-Benz Hungary. “We should also mention the premium customer care our clients receive in our salons,” he added.

The company is planning to further strengthen its position in the premium segment, and is therefore expecting to expand its portfolio of cars on offer this year.
