Hot on the heels of the updated A 35 sedan, Mercedes-AMG unveiled the CLA 35 sedan for the folks who seek a bit more flair in their pretend-luxury subcompact sedan. It gets the same mild firepower as the A 35, but packed in a slightly more stylish outfit.
As the heat mounts in the full-size luxury SUV segment with the ugly new BMW X7 and invisibly-updated Range Rover, it was quite obvious that Mercedes had to work on revamping their big SUV, the completely-forgotten GLS (formerly known as GL-Class). So here it is, the all-new 2020 Mercedes Benz GLS-Class, with two new engines, completely overhauled looks and an awful lot of space inside.
With the “Dieselgate” scandal dropping VW’s rep a peg or two just a few years ago, another German manufacturer is now under the spotlight for another emissions scandal. Mercedes-Benz is undergoing an investigation to see if the manufacturer has bypassed emissions regulations in any way.
This is the 2019 Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan, based on the sedan version of the new A-Class hatchback (not to be confused with the CLA-Class). It sits underneath the as-yet-unreleased A45.
A 585 hp rear-wheel-drive supercar and a rain-soaked Hockenheimring – venue for the German F1 Grand Prix, and a track I’ve never previously been to – are ingredients that pretty much guarantee the day ahead will be anything but dull. Throw in a man named Bernd Schneider, a hard-pedalling five-time German touring car champ, as a pacemaker and you can bet fireworks are in store.
Mercedes-Benz has used this week’s Geneva motor show to roll out five world premieres, ranging from the sub-compact CLA Shooting Brake to a roadster version of the thunderous AMG GT R. It’s also the last motor show appearance for long-standing company chairman Dr Dieter Zetsche, who will step down in May to make way for current board member Ola Källenius as his successor.
We recently witnessed the reveal of the new Porsche 911 and now it has a proper nemesis. Mercedes-AMG updated its entire range of GT cars for 2020. Available in the GT, GT C, GT R, and GTR Pro versions, the 2020 Mercedes AMG GT brings better styling and more technology to the table.
The G-Wagen finally got its first ever major revamp since it debuted in the late 70s. Sure, there have been numerous facelifts, interiors and engine upgrades over the years, the basics underneath always remained the same, and it was horrendous to drive (once you take off the fanboy glasses). The new 2019 model changes all that. Mostly.
When Mercedes-AMG revealed the GT “4-door coupe” a few months ago, it didn’t creates as much of a splash as the Porsche Panamera, seeing as it was just another reskinned E-Class alongside the CLS “4-door coupe” that still exists as well. And in its 53, 63 and 63 S flavours, it was placed a little too high in the fiscal ladder for many to lay their hands on one. But now, a new base model, called the Mercedes-AMG GT43, slots into the range, opening it up to more people.
If you were under the impression that the Mercedes Benz CLA sedan is the sedan version of the A-Class hatchback, Mercedes Benz has released the actual A-Class sedan to correct you, based on the latest A-Class hatchback and the odd need to fill every possible niche to the brink of irrelevance.
