Who is the electric G Wagen — the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology — for? Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it's going to be expensive. Range hasn't been announced yet, but it gets 294 miles on the European test cycle and that means the EPA will likely rate it at around 250. It doesn't look appreciably different than the combustion and hybrid versions either, but as it turns out, that's all by design.
Released in 1979, and updated several times since, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class earned a loyal following by offering enthusiasts above-average durability. The brand crunched the numbers and came up with a statistic to prove this point: 80% of the Gs built are still on the road.
Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end.

“Electric” may be the most appropriate word to describe the atmosphere at the recent Beijing motor show, now considered to be one of the world’s largest automobile exhibitions.
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe is the second-gen variant of the German auto giant’s weapon of choice against the all-conquering Porsche 911. It now rides on similar underpinnings as the Mercedes-AMG SL roadster, is about seven inches longer, 1.6 inches wider, and has a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase than the outgoing GT coupe.
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid version of the much-beloved E-Class sedan. It features a retuned 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six gas engine, a plug-in hybrid system with a high-strung electric motor, 4MATIC+ variable all-wheel drive, and an adaptive suspension. Setting it apart from a non-AMG E-Class sedan are 0.43-inch wider front fenders, a wider front track width, an AMG-specific front grille, 20-inch AMG alloy wheels, a ducktail rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser. Available only for the 2025 model year is the E 53 Hybrid Edition 1 model. The upgrades include Moonlight White Magno paint, black graphics, 21-inch custom cross-spoke wheels, black brake calipers (with white AMG logos), black Nappa leather with yellow stitching, a carbon fiber lip spoiler, and a plethora
The S-Class enters its final stretch as a combustion-powered sedan with a pinpoint refresh for the 2025 model year that's entirely about the details; only those who keep track of the S-Class color palette year-to-year will know this is one is different to the 2024 sedan by looking at the exterior. The two new colors are Verde Silver Metallic and Velvet Brown Metallic — that's right, brown, baby! Every auto scribe's dream color.
Witnessing the sheer violence of a crash test in a closed facility for the first time is a sobering experience.
TENERIFE, Canary Islands – The new 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class has a lot on its plate. Not only does it replace both the C-Class and E-Class coupes, but it also has to fill the role of a convertible. As I experienced on the Spanish volcanic island of Tenerife off the coast of Africa, the CLE450 4Matic Cabriolet is a delightfully comfortable and calm way to take in the scenery. It performs on a level that is well beyond what most drivers will ever desire, but we're not like most drivers, are we?
