Mercedes-Benz has been around the automotive industry since 1886 with Karl Benz creating the first petrol car. There were a great number of influential people involved with the beginnings of Merecedes-Benz. Early on they had racing success that has continued till the current day. In Australia they currently have 35 models available such as the S63 AMG, SLK, C63, E63, Cl-Class, SLK, G Series, GL Series & ML Series. The Mercedes-Benz logo is the best recognised symbol in the world.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e is an $80k plug-in hybrid that can do about 40km of pure-electric driving. If you're a city slicker after a luxury crossover it has merit, despite some trade-offs.
Mercedes-Benz is preparing to launch a plug-in hybrid version of the A-Class, with about 70km of electric range.
The B180 is aimed at a very specific type of buyer. They're likely to be very happy with what's on offer here, but the B-Class isn't perfect.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLE is clearly a step up from its predecessor. We have slotted a direct comparison test against the BMW X5 into our calendar, which we're counting down to... Granted, the bigger optional wheels hurt ride quality, the GLE400d’s six-pot engine is a big step up in cost over the fine 300d, and features such as ventilated seats, a wireless phone charger, and a tyre pressure monitor should really come standard on a $100k-plus vehicle...
If you thought the CLA was the only small-ish Mercedes-Benz sedan on offer, think again: now there's this, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan. It launches in Australia this week, but should buyers consider it over the slightly cheaper A-Class hatch and the slightly pricier CLA? Joshua Dowling takes it for a pin.
With models like the Audi Q5, BMW X3/X4 and Volvo XC60 all vying for attention in the premium mid-sized SUV segment, Mercedes-Benz has given its GLC an all-important update How does it stack up? Mike Costello finds out.
Prospective buyers of big luxury SUVs are spoiled for choice, and here are three of the best. The BMW X5 is an enduring top seller and almost certainly the storied Bavarian brand’s most important model, offering an unmistakable look with dynamic handling...

Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled the 2017-19 E-Class All-Terrain, over concerns the rear spoiler mightn't have been correctly attached. According to the company the screws for the tailgate spoiler might not have been tightened to specification.

Mercedes-Benz has plenty in store for the next generation of its volume-selling C-Class and those plans include an All-Terrain variant. The UK's Autocar reports the C-Class All-Terrain will be conceptually similar to the existing E-Class All-Terrain. That means the addition of black plastic wheel arch cladding, chunkier tires and a modestly increased ride height, among other soft-roader tweaks...
After many years of driving and having had the opportunity to enjoy some modest but fine examples of good 4 and 6-pot motoring, I had a burning desire to enjoy the experience of a big V8. The choice for me was simple, or at least seemed simple, between an E90/E92 M3 or the W204 C63 AMG...
The decision to splash money on a luxurious European car did not make sense from a pragmatic point of view. We needed a family car, but wanted it to be something 'nice' - as my wife would say. After spending hours visiting many mainstream dealerships and being underwhelmed by poor service, products, product knowledge, and availability it all started to feel too hard...
Having purchased this car brand new 6 years ago, I can say that this car has been great and I still love it today. Back in 2013 there was an eight month wait for these cars and Mercedes couldn’t make them fast enough. It was a new model, with a new shape and lots of great tech, so what wasn’t to like? It seemed like everyone wanted one...
2015 Mercedes A45 (Pre-facelift) review The A45, once a king of ‘hyper hatches’, has been on the market for almost 6 years. Much has changed since then – the facelifted Audi RS3 in 2017, the Ford Focus RS in 2016, and even Mercedes’ own upcoming W177 A35 and A45. The competition has brought not only even more engine performance to the table, but also improvements in technology and luxury...
