Mercedes E250 SE (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 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 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 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 S63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 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. ...
