Mercedes-Benz this week announced it will start production in Brazil, initially with the next-generation C-Class and the new GLA-Class crossover. The announcement comes just a few weeks after Audi announced plans to build its new A3 and Q3 models in Brazil and a year after BMW said it was seeking...

These are the first spy shots of prototypes depicting Mercedes-Benz’s planned updates for its CLS Shooting Brake. The second generation of the CLS, which spans both sedan and Shooting Brake wagon bodystyles, was introduced for the 2012 model year so it’s about due for a mid-cycle...

Yesterday we learned that the SLS AMG would be phased out soon, with its role as the flagship Mercedes-Benz sports car to be taken up by a smaller and more agile model likely to be called the AMG GT. Fans of the big gullwing needn’t be too sad, however, as a direct replacement is planned...

Mercedes-Benz is prepping for a product onslaught over the course of the next few years. The all-new CLA baby Benz is a good case in point, but it's not going to have the spotlight to itself for long. Shown at Frankfurt, the GLA is going to be hot on its heels with a launch date set for sometime in...

Mercedes-Benz is well-known for its magically controlling names for its high-tech products. Wipers that shoot cleaning fluid directly onto the window? Magic Vision Control. A sunroof that varies its opacity? Magic Sky Control. And now, on the new 2014 S Class, a system that scans the road ahead and...

Join the CLA45 AMG and its Euro-twin, the A45 AMG, on track at one of Europe's best new circuits, Bilster Berg Drive Resort.

A full-sized luxury sedan capable of sub-6.0 second runs to 60 mph and fuel economy of 70 mpg or better may seem a little farfetched but it’s a promise Mercedes-Benz has made for its 2015 S500 Plug-In Hybrid, which made its world debut this week at the Frankfurt Auto Show and is due in...

Mercedes-Benz’s new S-Class is the first car in history capable of driving itself, though the car’s current autonomous mode is only suited for traffic jams and highway driving. However, Mercedes is committed to being the first to offer a car that works autonomously at all times and...

If you've ever driven, say, a locomotive, and wished it were a bit more compact, but still nearly as powerful, you should take a closer look at the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. With 4MATIC all-wheel drive, a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 rated at 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, and some of...

The 2013 Frankfurt auto show is in full swing, and while the halls are hot, the new cars are hotter, and Mercedes-Benz's latest addition to the production fold is the GLA Class. Usually, it's tough to get very excited about crossovers--they are, after all, rather utilitarian by nature, however...

The CL is dead, long live the S-Class Coupe. That's right, a new coupe form of the S-Class sedan has been previewed today at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, a harbinger of the car that's coming to replace the CL-Class. Whether the new two-door take on the S-Class theme is to your liking or not, it's...

There’s been a major executive shuffle at Mercedes-Benz following the resignation announcement of the automaker’s veteran sales chief, Joachim Schmidt. Ola Källenius, who currently heads the AMG performance division, will replace Schmidt. That leaves an opening at AMG. Filling that...

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class launches onto the market in October, initially in S550, S550 4MATIC and S63 AMG trim, and pricing for the range starts at $93,825, including destination. That starting price is for the 2014 S550, which is now priced $2,100 less than the outgoing model despite being an...

Mercedes-Benz has enjoyed much success with its SLS AMG GT3 customer race car but its half-million dollar pricetag puts it out of reach of many smaller teams. Mercedes has taken heed of calls for a more affordable race car wearing the three-pointed star and has put together a new CLA45 AMG-based...

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG has been spotted without any camouflage bar a small strip of tape over its “S65 AMG” trunk lid badge. The car is AMG’s V-12-powered S-Class variant and is expected to make its world debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show in November. It was spotted...

A Mercedes-Benz V-12 is a wonderful bit of machinery that is as exciting when it's working hard in a car as it is just sitting alone on a stand. There are so many beautifully crafted parts that come together to create combustion. That combustion in turn creates many horsepowers and tons of torques...

The French government will have to overturn a ban on Mercedes-Benz sales in its country after the German automaker won a case in the Council of State, France’s highest administrative court. Sales of the latest Mercedes models, like the A-Class, B-Class and SL-Class, were blocked in France...
