# Mercedes-AMG Sales Likely to Sell More Than 100,000 Cars in 2017

Daimler has done a fantastic job of building out the [Mercedes-Benz](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/9405/mercedes-benz-reveals-refreshed-s-class-more-potent-s63-amg>) lineup in recent years, adding models to both the high and low ends of the portfolio—especially in its AMG lineup. And the results speak for themselves: last year, [Mercedes-AMG](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8883/the-2018-mercedes-amg-gt-c-roadster-scorches-arizona>) finished up sold 99,235 AMG vehicles globally. That staggering number was a 44.1 percent growth over the year prior. And as Mercedes-AMG continues to see impressive sales growth, it seems likely the carmaker will breach the 100,000-unit mark this year.

Mercedes-AMG Chairman of the Management Board, Tobias Moers told [*Car Advice*](<https://www.caradvice.com.au/555082/mercedes-amg-set-to-crack-100000-sales-for-the-first-time-ever/>)*, "*We offer our customers the most comprehensive product portfolio of all time, with more than 50 different models ranging from the A-Class right up to the S-Class."

With such a large portfolio, including the 43 and 45 series AMG models, it is understandable to see how Mercedes achieved such a large increase in sales. The 43 series vehicles are on average between $12,000 and $14,000 cheaper than their 63 series equivalents, allowing more Mercedes-Benz customers to reach AMG status. The cheapest Mercedes-AMG is currently the CLA45 sedan, which goes for $50,400. The "affordable" luxury performance sedan achieves a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, thanks to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

It will be interesting to see how Mercedes-AMG will wrap up 2017, especially since their AMG lineup has drastically expanded over the past three years.
