BMW (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/) managed to eke ahead of Audi (http://www.autoblog.com/audi/) for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/), meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x1/) (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/3 series/) jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/cla-class/) sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/) at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/) will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/14/x1-3-series-power-bmw-back-into-global-luxury-autos-sales-lead/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:00:00 EST.
