January's total is an increase of 19.9% compared with the same month of last year, and means that Mercedes-Benz has grown for the 35th consecutive month.
Out of the 150,818 cars bought in the first month of the year, 48,840 compact cars in the shape of an A- or B-Class, a CLA, a CLA Shooting Brake or a GLA were sold.
A total of 31,993 units of the C-Class Saloon and Estate were sold - the best January so far for the best-selling Mercedes-Benz model. The new C-Class coupe was very popular in the first month after its market launch in December 2015.
Demand for the E-Class remains strong shortly before the market launch of the new generation: In January, the E-Class Saloon and Estate were among the best-selling models of Mercedes-Benz.
The S-Class maintained its position as the world's best-selling luxury saloon in the first month of 2016, with a record number sold in one month.
