2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 First Drive Review – Luxury you can’t ignore

Vincent Nguyen | Dec 2, 2020

The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is the first-ever SUV from Maybach and, you could say, a playful jab - and somewhat less costly alternative - to other super-luxe contenders like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley's Bentayga. The Maybach name returned in 2015 as a sub-brand of the three-pointed star, and since then the automaker has sold more than 45,000 of its Mercedes-Maybach S-Class flagship sedans globally. In 2018, one in seven S-Class models sold was a Maybach.

2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris returns with better safety features and more standard kit

Alvin Reyes | Nov 24, 2020

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris is returning next year with a bevy of new standard kit. Also known as the Vito, V-Class, or Viano in some markets, the Metris is a tad smaller than the full-size Sprinter van, but it’s significantly larger than other midsize vans like the Ford Transit Connect, Ram ProMaster City, and Nissan NV200.

2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class First Look: Elevating the Status Quo

Vincent Nguyen | Nov 19, 2020

If the 2021 S-Class is the big daddy in Mercedes-Benz’s portfolio, it seems the new Maybach S-Class is the ‘Godfather’ of the three-pointed star. And, similar to how the S-Class showcases the very latest technology, luxury, and safety features in a modern car, the 2021 Maybach S-Class holds a lavish magnifying glass to all those aspects of Mercedes' flagship.

Shane McGlaun | Nov 18, 2020

Mercedes-Benz is doing very well with electric vehicles, with the company bragging that it has sold a total of 45,000 EVs and plug-in-hybrids globally as of Q3 2020. It sold around 2500 EQC EVs in September alone. The automaker has announced updates for the EQC 400 4Matic that should make it more popular with buyers.

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S has set a new Nürburgring lap record

Alvin Reyes | Nov 11, 2020

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-door coupe is now the fastest luxury four-door vehicle to lap the Nürburgring. It unseated the Porsche Panamera Turbo S by recording a blistering time of 7:27.800. The fascinating part is Mercedes-AMG did it with a bone-stock GT 63 S, although the car ran with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and the aero package body kit, both of which are optional from the showroom.

Aston Martin roadmap spills its huge electric plans

Chris Davies | Nov 3, 2020

Aston Martin may only just have inked a deal to get its hands on Mercedes' electric vehicle tech, but the automaker already has plans on how to use it. Announced last week, the agreement should see Mercedes-Benz eventually take as much as a 20-percent stake in the legendary British sports car company, in return for access to the Germans' tech.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 4MATIC All-Terrain First Drive Review – Perfect Blend

Chris Davies | Nov 2, 2020

You can’t accuse Mercedes-Benz of not having tried to woo US drivers with its wagons. That the old E-Series wagon is being replaced in North America by this, the 2021 Mercedes E450 4MATIC All-Terrain, isn’t an admission of failure there, as much as recognition that the auto industry is far from the days of one-size-fits-all. There’s more than one way to package a wagon, and the All-Terrain promises to be a distinctly American-flavored interpretation.

2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 Review – Because too much is just right

Chris Davies | Oct 27, 2020

In 2020 we take our reassurance where we can find it, even if that's in the sound and feel of an SUV door when it closes. The 2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 is known for plenty of things - not least its wanton profligacy, Brutalist proportions, and conspicuous dedication to excess - but even with 577 horsepower to play with it's those doors I keep coming back to.

Mercedes trades EV tech and more for a bigger chunk of Aston Martin

Chris Davies | Oct 27, 2020

Mercedes-Benz is taking a bigger stake in Aston Martin, as part of a new technology agreement that boosts the automakers' collaborations. The deal will see Mercedes eventually hold up to 20-percent of shares of the legendary British car company, which will get to dig through the Germans' hybrid, EV, and other tech for its own sports cars and SUVs.

The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS has a painful price tag for a super-luxe SUV

Chris Davies | Oct 19, 2020

Mercedes-Maybach's first SUV has found its price tag, and if you were worried that the excessively luxurious off-roader might be too obtainable so as to ruin its cachet, never fear. The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC will kick off at $160,050 (plus destination) when it arrives in US dealerships late this year.

The company's latest product is the Inkas Mercedes Sprinter that is part limo and part mobile office. The fancy interior's most prominent feature is an L-shaped workstation at the rear designed to let a mobile executive keep working while on the road.

2020 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster Review – Power with personality

Chris Davies | Oct 7, 2020

Appearances can be deceiving, though the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster seems an unlikely car to illustrate the truism. Middle-child of the AMG GT line-up, it's short of neither power nor personality, and you'd be forgiven for assuming a 550 horsepower rear-wheel drive convertible would be a handful. Sure enough it's a head-turner, but there's more here than meets the eye.
