Beijing (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Monthly sales of Mercedes-Benz brand vehicles in the Chinese market (including Hong Kong) surged 64 per cent year-on-year to a record 2,700 units in January, according to Daimler Chrysler's Mercedes Car Group.

Klaus Maier, President of Mercedes-Benz China, said sales growth in China was led by sustained strong demand for the S-class models, positive market response to the sports utility vehicles and the new generation of E-class models that just rolled off the assembly in the Beijing plant.

The company said sale of its S-class models in China exceeded 1,100 units in China in January.
