The sports car had a good run, but its days are numbered. Time and trends are callous in their disregard for nostalgia: drivers are voting with their wallets, and they're voting for super SUVs like the new 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S and GLS 63. With 603 horsepower to play with, can you really blame them?
Mercedes-Benz has been producing Vans for commercial uses for a long time. The automaker is currently talking about the Vito, and eVito vans that it promises are based on strengths like versatility, flexibility, and a balanced price to performance ratio. Both of the models are extensively updated inside and out for 2020.
Mercedes has announced the addition of three new PHEVs to its EQ Power range of cars. The vehicles include the CLA 250 e Coupe, CLA 250 e Shooting Brake, and the GLA 250 e. The three cars complete the Mercedes range of EQ Power vehicles with the third-generation hybrid drive system.
Mercedes has announced the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 today, and the car is hailed as having the most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine in series production in the world. The M139 2.0-liter four makes 382hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes says each one of those engines is built by hand by a single technician.
Mercedes-AMG has revealed its latest toasty four-door coupe, with the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe promising 603 horsepower along with an unexpected degree of off-road performance. Taking the GLE as its starting point, AMG throws in its 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo with EQ Boost, and thus cuts the SUV's 0-60 mph time to 3.7 seconds.
For years, American drivers have looked on enviously at their European counterparts driving pop-up camper vans, but now Mercedes is sharing the love. Unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show 2020 today, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Weekender is a pop-up camper based on the Metris van but revamped for road trips.
Mercedes-Benz hasn't been short on body styles over the past few years, but the most unexpected for the German automaker was probably the X-Class, its pickup truck. Announced back in 2016, the X-Class was to be Mercedes' push into utility. Instead, the automaker has confirmed, it's getting the axe.
In many ways, Mercedes-Benz's new VISION AVTR concept car is everything we've come to expect from automakers at CES 2020: exaggerated style wrapped in an ambitious message, in this particular case James Cameron’s epic “Avatar” movie. Certainly, the VISION AVTR - which stands for Advanced Vehicle Transformation - is full of gloriously hi-tech details that Mercedes says embody the next chapter of sustainable luxury. Think ecologically-sound mobility mixed with awe-inspiring, futuristic design that tries to highlight the interaction between humans and machines. It's a tall order, but then again the VISION AVTR is a big car.
Mercedes-Benz has brought a new concept car to CES 2020, with the VISION AVTR inspired by James Cameron's epic "Avatar" movie. Intended to embody themes of ecologically-sound mobility and the interaction of the passenger and their vehicle, the striking concept also uses new green materials.
Even before the arrival of Mercedes-Benz’s all-new compact 2020 GLB SUV, the German automaker has a full eight sport utility vehicles for the US market. The GLB takes it to nine SUVs in total, which is more than what I was expecting before I double-checked to compensate for my aging memory. That's a whole lot of options if you want a luxury truck, and a very broad range when it comes to size and abilities: the GLB happens to be the seventh car to utilize Mercedes’ new compact car platform, the same architecture as found under the A-Class and CLA coupe.
Mercedes is adding an entry-level SUV to the range, the 2021 GLA 250, and Mercedes-AMG is getting in on the action with a punched-up version that could well be the modern-day hot hatch. A compact SUV, the GLA packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine along with the cabin technology that we've been so impressed by in the A-Class Sedan.
Mercedes is bringing its autonomous cars to US roads, kicking off a pilot automated ride-hailing project that will see self-driving luxury sedans prowling select streets in Silicon Valley. The Urban Automated Driving project is deploying specially customized Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars, outfitted with special tech from Bosch, that can be summoned via an app and will then drive themselves to the destination.
