Mercedes-Benz USA reported a sales jump of 31.3% in the third quarter of this year over the same period a year ago, fueled in part by strong sales of Alabama-built SUVs, including a 42% boost from the GLS.

The automaker reported U.S. sales of 72,389 passenger cars in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 55,130 during the same period a year ago.

The top-selling vehicle for the quarter was the GLC SUV with 19,456 sold. That was followed by the Alabama-built GLE with 13,802 sales, up 16.2% from a year ago. The GLS SUV, also built in Alabama, had sales of 5,187 for the quarter.
