BMW AG outsold Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz in the US for the first time in four years after blowing out its rival in the final month of 2019.
BMW sold 35,746 cars and sport utility vehicles (SUV) in December and finished the year ahead by more than 8,700 units. The Munich-based manufacturer staged a revival this year by filling out its SUV lineup with the massive new X7, the three-row model its dealers waited on for a decade.
Mercedes was meanwhile hamstrung by supplier bottlenecks that crimped production at its lone US car-assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
