MONTVALE, N.J., July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported record June sales for the Mercedes-Benz brand at 28,044, climbing 5.8% from the 26,506 vehicles sold during the same month last year. Sprinter delivered a 10.9% increase in June to 2,442, combining with 774 units at smart for a monthly total of 31,260 for MBUSA.

"With a record first half on the books and our new GLE lineup hitting the market next month, summer is off to a heated start at Mercedes-Benz," said Stephen Cannon, president and CEO of MBUSA. "As we make our way to our new home in Atlanta, we'll carry that momentum to deliver another banner year for the brand."

The brand's light truck lineup, which will see the addition of several all-new or redesigned models over the course of the next year, posted an 18.5% increase from the first half of 2014, reflecting the growing demand for SUVs in the U.S. market.
