Mercedes-AMG electrification continues with yet another launch. Once known for their explosive petrol engines, the brand is now focusing on electric cars. The recently launched Mercedes-Benz AMG 53 is an example of this move. But it also has a less-powerful sibling, the AMG EQE 43.
After what seems like the longest gestation period in automotive history, the much-hyped Mercedes-AMG ONE (unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show) is finally on the verge of being a production reality, with deliveries of the limited-edition hypercar commencing in the second half of this year.
The first month of 2022 was relatively quiet in the automotive recall circus. But though we only had a few recalls in the past month, most of the affected large numbers of vehicles. Here is the list.
Mercedes typically rolls out an all-new SL (Sports Light) only once every decade – the R107 generation endured almost twice that duration – so the unveiling of each successive iteration is eagerly anticipated.
In the past decade, we have seen a lot of improvements in technologies on passenger cars and SUVs. It is no different with heavy trucks with improvements in creature comforts and safety. In the Middle East, it is very easy to spot commercial vehicles with a manual transmission but there are many brands introducing automatic transmissions and demand is rising for them. Mercedes-Benz recently gave us a demonstration on the latest technology in their heavy trucks.
Mercedes-Benz EQS was the brand’s first venture into the fully-electric sedan market otherwise dominated by Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. The EQS debuted a new sedan design language and now, this has spawned a smaller sibling for itself. Here is Mercedes-Benz EQE, trying to mimic the hierarchy that exists between the regular E-Class and S-Class.
The recently-launched Mercedes Benz EQS was a significant addition to the top rung of the brand’s EV lineup while the EQA entered the scene as a stepping stone to the marque. In a bid to expand their electric-car portfolio further, the Mercedes-Benz EQB debuts in China with seating for seven and a maximum power output of 288 hp.
Back in 2004, Mercedes-Benz CLS debuted as a four-door coupe, since then becoming a long-standing oxymoron of the motoring world that inspired many imitators. Now, for this year, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS gets a refresh, giving a polish to its fading appeal in an over-extended Mercedes line-up.
Mercedes-Benz is a late entrant to the electric vehicle segment and their current lineup includes the EQA, EQC crossovers and the EQV Van, all of which have received a lukewarm reception so far. But as the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan show that electric sedans can be desirable, the Mercedes-Benz EQS makes its debut.
The Takata inflator-related recall makes a comeback in the second month of 2021, while Tesla finds itself in yet another recall. Here is the list of all global recalls for February 2021.
