The Land Rover Discovery Sport is no stranger to Australians, having gone on sale here in 2015. The Mercedes-Benz GLB, however, is much newer having gone on sale in 2020. Both occupy the medium-SUV class, and both fall into the ‘prestige’ sub-segment of the category. So, which is the better of these two flexible family freighters?
When it comes to automotive success stories, it is fair to say that X didn’t really mark the spot for Mercedes-Benz. The brand’s much hyped and highly anticipated pickup ended production in May this year, less than three years after being launched.
Can the Genesis G80 repeat Lexus’s feat with its 1989 LS400 limo and send the German luxury brands back to the drawing board? We pit the premium Korean sedan against an E-Class to find out.

Brother from another mother. We looked at the 2020 Mercedes-Benz X350d in runout this week, but how about its four-cylinder stablemate, the X250d? Let's wind back the clock to when the Mercedes-Benz X-Class arrived and was compared directly to its development partner, the Nissan Navara...
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA range has been expanded with the addition of two new all-wheel-drive variants – EQA 300 4Matic and EQA 350 4Matic – offering more power, longer driving ranges, and all-paw traction. However, only the more potent EQA 350 4Matic will come to Australia – with a local launch set to occur by the end of 2021 – with Mercedes-Benz Australia electing to leave the EQA 300 to European buyers only for now...

NOTE: stock images have been used as none were provided by owner. My son bought this Mercedes-Benz E250 at auction for me - fait accompli. I like the space inside the car, the stunning design and style, and the ride and comfort. There's nothing here to dislike. The finish and paint work (Iridium Grey metallic) is excellent...
In January of 2015 I decided to purchase a 2015 E400 coupe. I had just sold my two-year old 991 C2S, and prior to that I had owned a facelifted 2012 C63, both of which were great cars in their own right. Over the years I have owned five Mercedes-Benz cars and have always bought and sold cars after 30 months, thus I bought this car thinking it would be a short term acquisition...
I have owned many vehicles from the major car manufacturers over the years, both European and Japanese. I have experienced the good and bad that they have to offer. But a Mercedes? I had never really thought about one seriously. As a young bloke I had always thought that a Merc was a pensioner car, or only for "the toffs" to own...
