Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz unit in November sold 224 percent more cars in China from a year earlier, a senior executive said on Monday.
Bjoern Hauber, general manager of sales and marketing for Mercedes Benz in China, told reporters that 8,500 cars were sold in that month.
Hauber said that given the strong performance in the first 11 months, with sales up 68 percent from a year earlier to 59,200 units, full-year sales in China were expected to exceed the company's previous target of 65,000.
"Given the first 11 months' figure, I think full-year sales will be more than 65,000," he said.
The booming Chinese auto market remains one of the few bright spots for German luxury carmakers.
