Mercedes-Benz maintained its top position in the Korean imported car market for three months in a row in August while BMW 520d regained its title as the best-selling model in four months.

According to Korea Automobile Importers and Distributors Association (KAIDA), a total of 17,547 imported cars were sold last month, up 10.1 percent from a year ago. Sale was down 0.5 percent from a month ago as August is usually a slow month.

Mercedes-Benz ranked first after selling 5,267 units, followed by BMW with 4,105 units, up about 1,000 units from 3,188 in July.

The best-selling model in August was BMW 520d, selling 921 units, followed by Lexus hybrid ES300h with 733 units and Mercedes-Benz E220d 4MATIC with 690 units.
