Mercedes-Benz

The AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ brings 612 hp, sharper aerodynamics and a serious cooling overhaul to the AMG GT range, all available to order rather than limited like its GT R PRO predecessor. We came away loving the V8 and the pace, 3.2 seconds to 100 km/h and 317 km/h flat out, but the unchanged suspension tuning and a Belgian price premium of over €40,000 make the PRO badge harder to justify this time. It remains a formidable car, just not the definitive one its name suggests.

The C 400 4MATIC electric is the first fully electric C-Class, and Mercedes is keen to sell it as the sportiest one yet, with 490 hp and a 4.0-second sprint to 100 km/h. We came away more impressed by the everyday case: a hushed, air-sprung ride, a genuinely useful AI assistant and up to 762 km of WLTP range. The rear design and a cheap-feeling black panel are our main gripes, and at €67,000 it is not cheap, but this is a hugely convincing debut.

The GLB 250+ is the bigger, more practical brother of the electric CLA, and it makes a strong case. It rides beautifully, feels solid and expensive, and returns genuinely astonishing efficiency for its size, easily clearing its 606 km claim. The screens and the options list can frustrate, but as a calm, trustworthy long-distance EV, this is a true Mercedes.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ Shooting Brake Electric is one of those EVs that quietly makes a very strong case for itself. Not because it is the fastest electric car. Not because it tries to be shocking. And not because Mercedes has reinvented the wheel. But because it gets the important things right.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 Hybrid is one of those cars that makes you wonder how far the entry-level premium segment has come. Not that long ago, an entry-level compact Mercedes felt exactly like that: an entry-level compact Mercedes. A bit stylish, yes. A bit premium, maybe. But never really close to the bigger cars from the same showroom. This new CLA feels different.

After the superb G 450 d, with its delightful six-cylinder diesel and endless torque, and the surprisingly competent G 580 EQ, which proved that even a G-Class can stand strong in electric form, it was time for the third musketeer: the all-new G 500.

The range of the new Mercedes GLC includes not one or two, but three plug-in hybrid versions. Next to the GLC 300e and GLC300de, we took the fastest and most powerful plug-in hybrid of the bunch, the GLC 400e 4matic. Can this GLC win our hearts?

You've seen a fair amount of C-Class models being reviewed here, but you haven't seen this Mercedes-Benz C 220 d All-Terrain pass by. A flavor of C-Class that housed two premieres in fact.

Twenty or so years ago, the battery electric vehicle (BEV) arms race began with exotic vehicles of all sorts, cars like the Tesla Roadster or the more recent Jaguar I-Pace. But thankfully, the world is now being fed regular models powered by batteries too, and today's subject is one of those: the Mercedes EQB 250 Luxury Line.

Though the world may never have been as polarized and divided as today, almost everyone agrees that the Mercedes-AMG SL is nothing but beautiful. But when I mention a 4-cylinder in the SL? You're right back in the polarized world.

After almost 1,000 km of testing on European roads, motorways and winding secondary routes, our consumption sat at 2.2 l/100 km and 14.2 kWh/100 km, figures you would normally only expect from a much smaller plug-in, certainly not from a long-wheelbase S-Class limousine. And yet: the S 450 e Long convinced us on every level. We may still be fans of a strong S-Class diesel, but this hybrid version won our hearts in an unexpected way.

Little over half a year ago, I had the pleasure of driving the 843 hp Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance in Nice, France. That encounter was only brief and didn't leave an impression, as its non-PHEV family member did back in 2019. Is a multiple-day encounter with one of AMG's flagships enough to win me over?
