Mercedes-Benz 4S dealerships' large-scale withdrawal plan is accelerating

Since July, news of Mercedes-Benz dealerships exiting the Chinese market has been pouring in. According to incomplete statistics, dozens of 4S dealerships have had their authorizations revoked, including Huzhou Star and Shaoxing Star. Although Mercedes-Benz planned to close 100 dealerships this year, it has only achieved approximately 24% of its target. This large-scale dealership exit has garnered widespread attention, particularly given the challenges Mercedes-Benz faces in its most daunting challenge since entering the Chinese market, particularly given the challenges of its electrification transition.
