Mercedes-Benz has announced US pricing for the 2019 A-Class Sedan, which is headed to dealerships this year. It's a new effort by the automaker, which despite offering the A-Class since 1997, only now is opting to bring it to North America.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision URBANETIC concept looks like a TRON party bus or a prop from a Netflix sci-fi series, but in reality the show-friendly styling hides a surprisingly sensible idea. Making its US debut at CES 2019 this week, the Vision URBANETIC asks the question of whether an autonomous vehicle needs to always be the same thing, all of the time.
Mercedes-Benz and Garmin have teamed up on a new smartwatch, capable of feeding health data to the dashboard and figuring out less stressful routes, among other features. The Mercedes-Benz branded Garmin vivoactive 3 GPS smartwatch was revealed alongside the 2020 CLA Coupe at CES 2019 today, and while it may be much smaller than the car, it's just as tech-packed.
Mercedes-Benz is pulling out all the stops with its compact cars, and if the 2019 A-Class sedan impressed you then the all-new 2020 CLA Coupe could knock you off your feet. Revealed at CES 2019 this week, the new CLA Coupe is, like its predecessor, actually a four-door, though one with a swooping roofline reminiscent of Mercedes' two-door cars.
Mercedes-AMG promised us a hotter version of the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and now we have a good idea just how much hotter it'll be. To say we're excited at the prospect is an understatement, frankly, particularly with the idea that the AMG A45 S could well pack a heady 416 horsepower.
You used to know where you were with an SUV. Five seats, maybe seven; plenty of space for luggage; and most likely all-wheel drive: in short, something perfectly functional to take the family on a cross-country vacation. These days, though, the SUV has morphed into something altogether different.
Few vehicles are as over-specified for their typical habitat as the 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 and the Mercedes-Benz G550. The automaker’s iconic “G Wagon” may be a legitimate off-roader, but its unmistakable design is more familiar from Malibu than out in the mud. With this latest generation, then, the question has to be whether Mercedes has diluted the G-Class for the inevitable on-road tastes, or if this rebooted beast is as flagrant as ever.
If throwing extra horsepower at a car is the quick & dirty way to improve performance, then coaxing more speed through aerodynamic changes is arguably the more elegant. That's the route Mercedes-AMG has taken with the 2020 AMG GT R PRO, certainly, and while its carbon-fiber flourishes may look unusual, there's no denying that they deliver the goods on the track.
Mercedes has given its AMG GT a revamp, with the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupes and Roadsters also joined by a fearsome 2020 AMG GT R PRO for the track. The automaker's most potent sports cars got their big reveal at the LA Auto Show 2018 today, gaining new styling, better performance, and more cabin technology.
Mercedes-AMG's fearsome GT R Coupe is getting an even more aggressive upgrade, with the automaker promising to reveal the AMG GT R Pro at the LA Auto Show next week. The face-melting sports car will take the 577 horsepower two-door and coax more performance out of it.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed the high-tech production line on which key models like the first EQ electric car, the new S-Class, and its autonomous cars will be built, and it could be more advanced than the vehicles themselves. Dubbed Factory 56, the new plant in Sindelfingen, Germany is about as far away from the traditional vision of manufacturing - or building cars in a tent - as you can imagine.
Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and automotive supplier heavyweight Bosch will start an autonomous ride-hailing service in California next year, offering self-driving taxis. The project will take place in San Jose, the third largest city in California, while the vehicles will be Level 4/5 autonomous, with the ability to drive themselves completely without human interaction.
