\"BMW<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems like BMW isn’t able to put a foot wrong, despite churning out a slew of controversial designs and ever more complicated iDrive systems. Munich ended the year at the top of the premium car sales pile for the third time running, delivering a record 2,253,835 vehicles in 2023.<\/p>\n

As Automotive News Europe<\/a><\/em> reports, this figure represents a 7.3% increase over 2022, enabling BMW to once again trump arch rival Mercedes-Benz. In particular, the brand’s electric vehicles continue to see strong year-on-year growth, with sales skyrocketing by 92% to 330,956 units.<\/p>\n

The company says it expects demand for EVs to continue rising and plans to sell half a million fully electric vehicles this year. In all, the BMW Group sold 2,555,341 cars last year (up 6.5%), including those from its MINI and Rolls-Royce subsidiaries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mercedes reported virtually flat sales of 2,043,800 units, due to a shortage of components for its 48-volt mild hybrid systems, other supplier bottlenecks and the changeover to the new W214 E-Class<\/a>. Sales of its EVs failed to match the heights of BMW’s despite rising 73% to 222,600, but those of high-end Maybach, G-Class and AMG models were strong enough to offset the challenges.<\/p>\n

Overall group sales, which include vans (up eight per cent to a record 447,800 vehicles) and smart vehicles (the older fortwo<\/a> and forfour<\/a>, not the Geely-developed #1<\/a> and #3<\/a>), rose 1.5% to 2,491,600 units.<\/p>\n

Taking up the final podium spot is Audi, which sold 1,895,240 vehicles \u2013 17% more than in 2022 \u2013 thanks to easing supply shortages. This includes just over 178,000 EVs that found homes, representing a 51% jump. Ingolstadt’s positive year helped it hold off a serious challenge from the world’s preeminent maker of EVs.<\/p>\n

That company is, of course, Tesla, which saw a staggering 38% increase in sales to 1,808,581 units \u2013 96% of which came from the cheaper Model 3<\/a> and Model Y<\/a>. A distant Lexus rounded off the top five; its sales of 824,258 units (up 32%) as of November were enough to see off Volvo’s 708,116 units (up 15%).<\/p>\n

Of course, BMW has been doing well in Malaysia as well \u2013 the company was the top-selling premium brand for four years on the trot with 11,699 units sold in 2023<\/a>. These include over 3,600 EVs, including 1,100 units of the ever-popular iX.<\/p>\n
