Mercedes-Benz U.K. records its 100,000th sale of the year.

As the Cirrus White A180 CDI Sport was delivered at Mercedes-Benz of Bristol, Mercedes-Benz U.K. President and CEO Marcus Breitschwerdt points out there still is a full month to go before the year-end results.

“This is an unprecedented achievement by everyone who works in our passenger-car division here at head office and across the network,” Breitschwerdt says in a statement.

He credits the new compact A-Class for attracting new customers to the brand.

The U.K. milestone was reached as Mercedes S-Class was named 2014 China Car of the Year during the Guangzhou auto show.

Mercedes China President and CEO Nicholas Speeks says the award reaffirms the model’s stature and position in China, its top market worldwide.
