Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 21 May 2012 11:01

More long trips in our Mercedes CLS - 21 May 2012 My wife has left me. I am 700 miles from home, on crutches with a right knee that has all the structural integrity of blancmange, and in two days’ time I’m expected to spend all day walking the halls of the Geneva Palexpo show complex. But I don’t expect ...

Mercedes S63 AMG (2011) CAR review

3.5

Kyle Fortune, 03 June 2011 15:30

The Mercedes S63 AMG has received the latest 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. In AMG terms that counts as a notable case of downsizing, replacing as it does the 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 in the AMG line-up. But how does the smaller V8 affect the driving experience in AMG's hi-po limo? Read on for CAR's Mercedes S63 AMG road test... Mercedes S63 ...

Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 31 May 2011 12:00

Mercedes-Benz is rightly proud of the outgoing CLS and the market for ‘four-door coupes’ that it pioneered. That car was a real shock when it was unveiled, a radical departure not just from the E class, but the entire Benz range. Some people hated it, but that was kind of the point. And those who loved it really, really loved ...

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Mercedes E63 AMG (2009) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 05 July 2009 00:01

The new E63 is Merc’s AMG-powered middleweight and follows a tried and tested plan: big V8 + sober saloon = autobahn domination. Well that’s the theory, and this is the reality. So this week it’s the E-class’ turn to have a go with the 6.2-litre V8? Yes, Mercedes likes to spread the bhp love around and so it’s no surprise ...

Mercedes E250 CDI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 16 March 2009 09:23

Mercedes' all-new E-class has a tough job on its hands. Throughout the '60s, '70s and '80s Mercedes dominated the medium-sized executive saloon market with cars like the W123 and W124. Cars so tough that you regularly still see them working hard for a living around the world. But then build quality disappeared, the styling became bland and the magic faded. ...

Mercedes E350 CGI (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 06 March 2009 10:19

Overlook worldwide recession and the automotive market place is primed for the launch of Mercedes’ new E-class. BMW’s 5-series feels old and outdated (it’ll be replaced in less than 12 months time) while Audi’s A6, despite (or perhaps because of) a minor facelift late last year, doesn’t feel particularly new either. So it’s an open net for Mercedes then, but ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Christopher Hubbard, 18 June 2008 09:28

This is the top 'banana' – the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG with 507bhp and 465lb ft of torque. Mildly revised along with the rest of the CLS range, the CLS63 gets a new set of so-called silencers, and the same downshift-blipping auto-box as the AMG C-class. Is this enough to take the four-door uber-coupe from good to truly great? There’s only one ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...
