Mercedes-Benz has officially announced the 2019 E Class family of cars. The range includes 4Matic versions, coupe, sedan, and wagon models. New for 2019 in the E class are E 450 models including standard and 4Matic versions of those rides. E 450 models get more powerful engines and the entire line will land this fall at dealers in the US.
Mercedes-AMG has taken the wraps off its latest performance four-door, the 2019 AMG E 53 Sedan, delivering more speed and smarter tech than the outgoing model. Replacing the old AMG E 43 Sedan, the new car packs a 3.0-liter in-line six cylinder turbocharged engine, using Mercedes' EQ Boost technology, for 429 horsepower.

A new Mercedes performance four-door car is coming for fans to plunk down their money on. The car has a long name and is the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ Edition 1. Mercedes will build the car for 12 months starting in September 2018.
You pick up a few names in the space of forty years, but whether you call it the Mercedes Geländewagen, the G-Wagen or, its most modern moniker, the 2019 G-Class is still legendary in every sense, whether you're on or off the road. Mercedes-Benz's unwavering commitment - some might say obsession - to maintaining the G’s core essence is instrumental in making it so successful over the past four decades. Even so, it's strange to think that the late model G-Class from 2018 is now considered a "classic," courtesy of this all-new model just around the corner.
In November 2016, Daimler formed a new subsidiary called Mercedes-Benz Energy Americas, one that would take on Tesla Powerwall with the maker's own home battery products. The market had high hopes for Daimler's efforts, citing the Mercedes brand's recognition and the maker's existing global presence to potentially upheave the residential power storage industry. However, things haven't gone as planned and the company is now calling it quits.
Mercedes had shown us its punchy little 2019 A-Class Hatchback, and now it's the turn for the sedan version of the car, though this is no ordinary four-door. Making its debut at Auto China in Beijing this week, the A-Class L Sedan adds almost 2.4-inches more space to the wheelbase, contributing to extra room for those in the back seats.

Mercedes' all-electric luxury sedan is headed to dealerships in just a couple of years time, but the German automaker is taking a different approach from that of its cosseting rivals. Although the company already has a strong-selling full-sized sedan in the shape of the well respected Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it has apparently opted not to use that nameplate for the luxury EV.
Bad news for big engine lovers: your chance to pick up a Mercedes-AMG V12 is rapidly narrowing with rumors that the automaker is pulling the plug on its beastliest droptop. For some time now, the upper echelons of Mercedes' performance car range have been unusually crowded, as twin-turbo V8 engines muscled in on V12 territory.
Mercedes-AMG has given its C 63 family a revamp for New York, bringing along the latest V8 biturbo-powered Sedan, Coupe, and Cabriolet with their extra-aggressive styling. The 2019 C 63 Sedan, Coupe, and Cabriolet keep the 4.0-liter, handmade AMG engine of before, now tuned for 469 horsepower in "regular" form and 503 HP in perkier "S" configuration.
Nobody ever said building a winning race car was going to be easy, but the challenge is even more complex when you're trying to compete in GT4. With the rules changed to encourage more manufacturer participation from 2017's season onward, teams now have a huge amount of choice when it comes to factory-produced GT4-spec machinery, but that's only the start of it. I spoke to Indy Dontje and Damien Faulkner from Winward/HTP Motorsport, about their brand new Mercedes AMG GT4 race cars and how this new age of GT4 racing has changed the scene.
