Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 19 April 2012 08:00

Mercedes will show the Concept Style Coupe at the 2012 Beijing motor show next week. It's a thinly veiled look at a compact coupe spun off the Merc A-class architecture - likely to wear the CLA badge. In essence this is our first look at the shrunken, baby CLS Daimler plans to launch in 2013 - and the CLA production ...

Mercedes G-class facelift (2012) first pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 11 April 2012 11:00

As old as the hills it rumbles over, the Mercedes G-class has been treated to yet another series of design tweaks and drivetrain updates to keep the boxy favourite fresh. The Merc G-class still looks largely like an military-spec off-roader to me. What's new? The usual garnish is added to the G's utilitarian design, maintaining the character without fixing what ain't broke. LED daytime running lights ...

Mercedes GL-class (2012) first official pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

After churning out a brand-new ML and tweaked G-class, Mercedes’ 4x4 range update continues apace with the new GL. The new 2012 Mercedes GL-class doesn’t look like it’s got any smaller… Correct. The Stateside favourite is still more ‘XL’ than GL, reaching more than five metres in length and two metres wide. The burly body needed to carry seven people in comfort ...

Mercedes SL65 AMG (2012) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 20 March 2012 09:00

If you're wondering why Mercedes is persisting with a twelve-cylinder SL in this downsizing era, understand this: the new 2012-spec SL65 AMG exists purely because many buyers at this end of the market demand more of everything. So a Mercedes SL65 AMG with a hulking bi-turbo 6.0-litre V12 has been launched for customers in China, the Middle East and other ...

Mercedes A-class at 2012 Geneva motor show

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 05 March 2012 19:30

Mercedes whisked the covers off the new A-class on the eve of the 2012 Geneva motor show. As predicted, it's a lower, sleeker, more Golf-like alternative to the Golf, sitting 18cm closer to thetarmac. These first official pictures of the new 2012 Mercedes A-class prove the 'tallboy' look is over for good and the production car closely apes the look ...

Mercedes SL63 AMG (2012) first official pictures

This is the new Mercedes SL63 AMG, a £110k roadster with 557bhp and 664lb ft of torque. Mercedes will reveal this monstrous open-top at AMG model at the Geneva motor show in March 2012. I’m up with Mercedes’ tricks – this Mercedes SL63 AMG doesn’t have a 6.3-litre engine, does it? It doesn’t – that ‘63’ designation has been a ...

Mercedes SL (2012) first official pictures

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Kendall, 15 December 2011 08:00

All-new SLs seem to come around as often as Halley’s Comet, but here are the first Stuttgart-sanctioned shots of Mercedes’ sixth generation premium roadster – the 2012 Mercedes SL. If it looks familiar, that’s because it’s already had more lenses pointed at its disguised bodywork than Pippa Middleton’s derrière – and CAR’s own renderings earlier this year weren’t far wide ...

Mercedes SL (2012): aluminium saves 8% weight

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 29 November 2011 09:31

Mercedes' new 2012 SL will weigh a solid 140kg less than today's SL roadster - a significant saving of some 8%. This crash diet has been enabled by the adoption of aluminium for the new SL. The learnings from the SLS gullwing are now trickling down to the higher-volume SL, which will be revealed in December 2011. Why the new ...

Mercedes ML 63 AMG (2012) first pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

Tim Pollard, 14 November 2011 20:00

Mercedes is packing its M-class off-roader off to the gym to beef up to BMW's M division SUVs and Porsche's Cayenne Turbo. The result? The new ML63 AMG, unveiled today. The new high-performance ML63 packs AMG's new 5.5-litre V8. They call it downsizing, but shrinking from 6.2 litres to 5.5 hardly compromises the outputs: the bi-turbo V8 cranks out 518bhp ...

Mercedes C-class AMG DTM (2012) at Frankfurt motor show

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 16 September 2011 10:16

Mercedes’ F125 concept might preview a hydrogen future for the automobile, but alongside this tech-laden show car Benz boss Dr Zetsche (with a little help from Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg) also unveiled a hardcore race car. It’s the Mercedes C-class Coupe AMG DTM, which will compete in next season’s Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters – think touring car, only with 4.0-litre ...
