It is the S-Class’s class, one might say.
Year-over-year, S-Class volume has basically doubled through the first ten months of 2014. November sales jumped 50%, a gain of 956 units. Had S-Class sales remained level in November 2014, it still would have outsold its next-best-selling rival, the much more affordable Lexus LS, by more than two-to-one.
As for large luxury sedans with midsize-baiting prices, the Cadillac XTS, Hyundai Equus, Kia K900, and Lincoln MKS combined for 2443 November sales, a 46% drop compared with November 2013.

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. 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. estimates say sales for those brands in November 2014 were 102, 175, 59, 15, and 75, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesn’t release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 1450 November Tesla sales, 14,650 YTD. Maserati sold 1203 cars in November; 11,531 YTD. Bentley reported 323 November sales; 2591 YTD.
