Mercedes A45 AMG (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 11 June 2013 12:30

This is the new Mercedes A45 AMG, one of the most powerful hot hatches ever built. The A45 is also the first hot hatch that Mercedes’ AMG tuning division has ever built, and it’s gone all out with its initial attempt: there’s a 355bhp turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive, a seven-speed twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox, and the performance to embarrass a Porsche ...

Mercedes CLA220 CDI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 06 March 2013 17:00

This is the Mercedes CLA, a new niche model from Stuttgart that aims to offer the style of the CLS 'four-door coupe' at a price that slots in below the C-class. You’ll pay from £23k for the entry-level CLA180 petrol, £27-28k for the 250 petrol, or £25-26k for the 220 CDI diesel – around £2.5k less than the equivalent C-class ...

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (2013) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 04 March 2013 07:00

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, the fifth Black Series since the SLK55 AMG kicked things off in 2006, and closest in spirit to the SL65 Black Series of 2008. At around £230k, it's a solid £60k clear of the regular SLS on which it's based and only a little cheaper than the Ferrari F12. We've come ...

Mercedes E250 SE (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 13 February 2013 07:00

This is Mercedes’s revised E-class, which ushers in new looks, new trim levels and new engines to take the fight to the BMW 5-series, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF. What’s new on the new Mercedes E-class? The most obvious change is the revised front, which ditches the outgoing car’s quad headlight arrangement for two more curvaceous lamps. The whole nose ...

Mercedes E63 AMG S 4MATIC (2013) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Pulman, 06 February 2013 13:00

This is the facelifted Mercedes E63 AMG, and inevitably it’s got more power than ever before. But now, thanks to four-wheel drive, it’s also got the hardware to deal with 577bhp and 590lb ft… Hang on! What’s all this nonsense about a four-wheel drive Mercedes E63 AMG? Far from being a wild rumour, those tyre-frying folk at Mercedes’ AMG tuning ...

Mercedes E300 Hybrid (2013 CAR review)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 31 January 2013 09:00

As six-pot turbodiesels make way for four-cylinders, you’re increasingly unlikely to spy a 3 on the rump of any big German saloon. Hence you’re more likely to see 520d, E250 CDI and A6 2.0 TDI than 530d, E350 CDI and A6 3.0 TDI. But Mercedes is offering a way to get a 3 back on your bootlid while bettering the ...

Mercedes A250 Sport (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 25 January 2013 09:30

Forget everything you knew about the Mercedes A-class. The new model is totally different in appearance, concept and character, bearing zero resemblance to the original entry-level Mercedes from 1998 that made the elk famous by failing the stability test named after that top-heavy, antler-bearing, Nordic mammal. The third-generation A-class, now on sale in the UK, is no longer gunning for ...

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 20 January 2013 09:01

Mercedes CLS250 CDI goodbye - 17 January 2013  Well how wrong can you be about a car? Or its looks, anyway. When friends ask if you’ll drive them to their wedding, you know you have something pretty special – a car for the big day that you can drive every day. My Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI Sport didn’t feel that special ...

Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Steve Moody, 27 November 2012 10:30

Despite the name, this CLS Shooting Brake isn’t a huntsman’s best friend. For a start, it cannot be adapted to four-wheel drive for right-hand-drive markets, as the driveshaft to the front wheels comes out of the right-hand side of the engine, just where useful things such as the steering column would get in the way. That’s a shame, because in ...

Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 26 June 2012 10:24

Unlike Volkswagen, who once wheeled out Le Mans 24 Hours legend Jackie Ickx as their new ambassador at a Jetta launch on the somewhat spurious basis that he, erm, keeps a Caravelle camper van at his home in South Africa, Mercedes-Benz can lay a rather more genuine claim to a working relationship with Stirling Moss. Moss, relentlessly lauded as the ...
