Mercedes SL500 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 07 March 2012 12:15

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SL, only the sixth SL generation to launch in six decades. And because they don’t release one very often, you can typically expect a new SL to mark a giant leap on from the last one. This new Mercedes SL (codenamed R231) is no exception. What are the key changes to this new sixth-generation Mercedes SL? ...

Mercedes ML63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jed Maxwell, 18 January 2012 10:00

Mercedes claims to have invented the original performance 4x4 with its ML55 AMG in 1999. This Mercedes ML63 AMG is the third generation of the German firm’s hot off-roader and, despite the eye-watering fuel consumption and price tag, its predecessors have gained a loyal following with more than 24,000 leaving showrooms. The new Mercedes ML63 AMG goes on sale inthe UK July ...

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 11 November 2011 09:26

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 05 August 2011 09:00

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

Mercedes S63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 SLK 250 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 08 March 2011 00:01

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLK, the third generation  of Stuttgart’s folding hardtop sports car. Traditionally, 50-something females have been the SLK’s key demographic, but Mercedes is trying to shift the needle a little towards men. It’s a tricky brief : improve refinement and usability even further, while enhancing driving dynamics too.  But Mercedes is bullish: ‘We were surprised when ...

Mercedes E200 CGI Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 25 March 2010 11:19

Bear with me here. A big hulking E-class Estate – weighing the thick end of 1.7 tonnes – might not seem best suited to a humble sub-2.0-litre four-pot petrol. But that's exactly what we have here. The entry-level E-class Estate is the E200 CGI, and our BlueEfficiency model in SE trim is the only E-class wagon to nudge under £30,000. ...

Mercedes E500 Coupé (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 21 July 2009 09:30

It’s a two-door E-class – or is it? It’s a 5.0-litre – or is it? Well, E500’s a bit of a misnomer, because this is actually a 5.5-litre V8, and the underpinnings come from the C-class. Should make for an agile, powerful mile-eater then. Let’s see how the new E-class Coupé stacks up on the road. Er, 382bhp and the ...

Mercedes S63 AMG (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 09 July 2009 17:10

Merc’s sportiest engine gets stuffed into more than two tonnes’ worth of Merc’s biggest, fattest, most luxurious saloon. Madness? Or pure indulgence? The facelifted version – which promises a 3% improvement in fuel consumption and emissions over the outgoing car – arrives here in November, but CAR scored an early drive in a German-plated left-hander. A left-handed, 518bhp, two-tonne limo. ...

Mercedes E63 AMG (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...
