American car buyers registered nearly twice as many Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans in February 2014 than in February 2013. The 94% jump equalled an extra 866 sales for Mercedes-Benz USA. Total car sales were up 6%, although if the new CLA was excluded, passenger car sales at Mercedes-Benz slid 8%.
The S-Class outsold its the BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS, and Porsche Panamera combined in February.
Opposite the S-Class was Jaguar's XJ, the category's worst seller in February. XJ volume was down 36% as sales of the less costly Jaguar XF shot up 52%. F-Type excluded, Jaguar sales were up 7% in February despite the XJ's harsh 145-unit decrease.
XJ sales rose to an eight-year high in 2013, although the nameplate's total volume was down 49% from 2004 levels. The S-Class rose to a three-year high but sales were off 2006's pace by 57%.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better, right? This explains why you'll see the the A7 and CLS here but also with midsize luxury cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in February 2014 were 70, 164, 59, 23, and 86, respectively. Bentley sales rose 6% to 191; Maserati sales jumped 426% to 837. Tesla, unfortunately, doesn't release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but you can visit the Model S sales page here.
