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.
It may not look like much of an upgrade, but beneath the skin Mercedes-Benz has gone to town on high-end technology to transform the C-Class driving experience. Paul Maric gets behind the wheel to see what it's like.
Mercedes is about to re-enter the small sedan market with an all-new model.
Mercedes-Benz has upgraded its top-selling GLC, giving the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 some stiffer competition. This is a review following our first drive at the international launch event in Germany.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is easily the most popular mid-sized premium executive with Aussie buyers. But does the updated-for-2019 C300 sedan lead the premium pack in depth and quality?
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.
Is this Mercedes-Benz EQC the new benchmark in luxury electric vehicles? We look forward to getting it through our garage for a proper comprehensive test, but, either way... it's a positive sign of things to come and shows Mercedes-Benz is heading in the right direction for an assault on the EV segment.
By the end of 2019, there will be 12 EVs on sale: the Renault Zoe, Hyundai Ioniq, Nissan Leaf, Renault Kangoo Z.E, Hyundai Kona Electric, BMW i3, Tesla Model 3, Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model S, Mercedes EQC, Audi e-tron quattro and Tesla Model X. In early 2020, the Porsche Taycan and Kia Niro are expected to join, and VW’s I.D isn’t that far off...
There's a new-generation 3 Series in town. Yep, it's that time again.
The fact that Mercedes-Benz has taken the time and effort to join the ever-growing fray of 4WD utes available in Australia tells you how important and potentially lucrative this competitive segment is. It’s a landscape that is changing at breakneck speed, and moving away from those humble working origins into something more of a segment defined by lifestyle, prestige and an outdoorsy intent...
When Mercedes-Benz chose to enter the dual-cab ute market with the new X-Class, it didn’t go it alone. Working partner Nissan lent a hand – and a variety of components from the Navara – to get the job done. The two aren’t exactly the same. The X-Class is more than just a Navara with a three-pointed star on the nose (despite what you might read in our comments), but it’s not entirely different...
The Mercedes-Benz X-Class ute looks set to be phased out prematurely due to slow sales that have made the vehicle unprofitable even at its comparatively high price. A report out of Europe, published overnight by respected industry journal Automotive News, cited unnamed but well-informed sources claiming the Mercedes X-Class ute “is to be dropped” as the company “seeks to reduce costs amid profit warnings”...
Mercedes-Benz Vans has debuted its new eVito Tourer in Berlin, a new electric people mover that will launch with the BerlKönig ride-share service in Germany. Designed for lugging multiple passengers in inner-city areas, the eVito Tourer features a 41kWh battery pack which offers between 156 and 186 kilometres of range, hooked up to an 85kW/295Nm electric motor...
Mercedes-Benz buyers will pay a hefty price to stand out from the crowd in the new CLA 200 coupe-like sedan. Despite sharing its underpinnings with the more conventionally-designed A-Class sedan, Mercedes-Benz has added a $10,000 premium to the CLA200's list price, starting from $59,500 before on-roads...
Euro NCAP has released its latest round of crash results including a range of new models, including the Tesla Model 3, Skoda Scala, Mercedes-Benz B-Class, Kia Ceed, and DS 3 Crossback. The Model 3 impressed with a perfect score in the frontal offset test, and its Safety Assist performance – where it scored 94 per cent, the best yet under Euro NCAP’s most recent protocol...
Having kids and a young family meant having to find a super reliable car that I know my wife would be able to drive around with minimal issues. Enter the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Exit driving enjoyment. With my love for Mercedes-Benz having started from a very young age thanks to my late father, and his canary yellow W114 280 that he brought home one day, I have dabbled in various Mercedes models throughout my life and have thoroughly enjoyed them all...
Like many motoring enthusiasts, I held this desire to own an older, classic car for recreational use. After much thought, my decision was the top model Mercedes-Benz S Class made during the late 1980s. One criterion for selection, albeit not major, was the cars’ potential to increase in value over time. This is why the category “Price & Features” shows a rating of 10...
My passion for Mercs was derived from my senior high school classmate who owns various Mercedes-Benz sedans. While my fellow Mercedes enthusiast is driving a gigantic, lavish, tank-looking, rear passenger-oriented W140 S320 sedan, I decided to go for the C-Class due to its compact size that doesn’t take much space in a garage...
One phrase sums up this van – can't kill it. Our first one did 550,000km, our second is on 330,000km, and we had two Vianos that did 400,000km (airport transfers). The ultimate in turn-the-key-and-go commercial vehicles, the Vito's underpinnings are the same as its commercial van brethren and it is as tough as nails. Not without faults, however...
