  • Mercedes-Benz W124 Estate (1985 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
    Unlike its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz W123, where the estate version was a late addition and compromised, the W124's load-lugging version was developed in parallel with the saloon, and all the better for it. For many people, the W124 estate - or S124 as it's known by enthusiasts - is probably the best and most desirable version of all the company's mid-liners.
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1979 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
    In 1979, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was relaunched, and once again took a big technological leap from what came before. Aerodynamic styling penned by Bruno Sacco signalled a new look that would filter its way down the entire range, and showed that Mercedes-Benz was not about to lose its lead in its sector of the marketplace.
  • Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 (1975 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
    But the planning and development for the 6.9 could never have foreseen world events, and by the time the Middle Eastern oil reserves were being rationed out at increasingly high cost, it was heading for launch. The existence of the new 450SEL 6.9 was as much about Mercedes-Benz's pride, as it was to slake the demand for a super-fast, super-cool, super-capable saloon for world leaders. It set out to establish Mercedes-Benz as the builder of the world's best saloon in the light of strong opposition from the new Jaguar XJ12.
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1972 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
    Roomy, full parts availability, tough, and stylish - in a conservative way
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class (1967 - 1976) (Classics Reviews)
    The stacked-headlight Mercedes-Benz mid-range saloons we the company's bread-and-butter for a dacade until the late-1970s. The W115 (four-cylinder) and W114 (six-cylinder) saloons continued the understated, elegantly stylish theme, but brought it up to date, and extended the range to include more engine and body options.
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1965 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
    But if the 250/300 saloon and coupes were the epitome of the modern S-Class, consider that the 1968 300SEL 6.3 was the first of the truly muscular big Mercedes-Benz saloons. Essentially, it was created when Mercedes-Benz engineers dropped the 6.3-litre V8 from the 600 into the long-wheelbase 300’s bodyshell, keeping luxuries such as air suspension from the range-topping limousine.
  • Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda (1963 - 1971) (Classics Reviews)
    The 'Pagoda' generation of Mercedes-Benz SLs are a great introduction into 1960s roadsters for those with a fair budget. They are strong, reliable and achingly attractive. But why the name Pagoda? It's down to the kicked-up edges to the roofline of the optional hardtop, which bear a slight resemblance to those Chinese structures.
  • Mercedes-Benz 190-300 (1959 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
    When launched in 1959, these cars helped define Mercedes-Benz in its core market. The tailfins may have been shamelessly tacked on to attract American buyers, but there's no arguing their effectiveness: the Fintail Mercedes-Benzes sold well Stateside.
  • Mercedes-Benz 300-Series (1951 - 1962) (Classics Reviews)
    Despite the slow start after the War, Mercedes-Benz soon got back into its stride, with the introduction of the 300. Aimed directly at established competition such as the BMW 501, it became one of the most opulent prestige cars of the decade. Featuring a smooth, alloy overhead camshaft straight-six engine, all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox and cosseting independent rear suspension, the car established Mercedes-Benz as a major force in the prestige market once more.
  • Mercedes-Benz G-Class EQ Technology (2024 on) (Reviews)
    Most agile and capable G-Class off-road. Prodigious performance levels. Feel smug about how comparatively inexpensive it is to run.
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (2017 - 2023) (Reviews)
    Instead, the emphasis here is firmly on enjoying the journey, and feeling relaxed on arrival.  The classy Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet is all about relaxing, living the good life and soaking up some rays. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet occupies a unique position in the marketplace. Unlike smaller rivals such as the Audi A5 or BMW 4 Series, the E-Class is a genuine four-seat convertible.
  • Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet (2016 - 2024) (Reviews)
    For most, these will not be issues, as the handsome styling, premium badge and luxurious interior will be enough to make the C-Class a winner.  Premium convertibles like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet offer a slice of the good life, combining open-top motoring with an upmarket badge on the bonnet. First launched in 2016, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet entered the competitive world of four-seat convertibles with a premium badge and handsome styling on its side.
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (2016 - 2023) (Reviews)
    The cosseting driving experience means you could find your motoring zen here.  The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is a rare proposition, offering a combination of two-door style with the bonus of extra practicality. Unlike most coupes, which compromise on interior space, the E-Class can accommodate passengers and luggage with relative ease.
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate (2016 - 2023) (Reviews)
    For a premium estate car that sets a new benchmark for luxury, practicality and is on par with its rivals when it comes to handling, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class might just be worth the extra. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is often regarded as the benchmark large premium estate cars , intended to compete with rivals such as the BMW 5 Series Touring , Audi A6 Avant and the Volvo V90 .
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet (2016 - 2020) (Reviews)
    Mercedes-Benz produces a range of impressive convertibles and roadsters, but not all of them are created equal. For the buyer who must have the best drop-top model the company builds, there is simply nothing like the S-Class Cabriolet. 
  • Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (2015 - 2024) (Reviews)
    Like we said, a couple of the engines aren’t really up to muster, and when push comes to shove, rivals from Audi and BMW are a shade roomier and more entertaining to drive. There is a lot to like about the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and if it’s the one that catches your eye most out of its rivals - which it might well be - then it’s a very solid choice. The 2016 Mercedes C-Class Coupe is competitive in pretty much every area compared with rivals such as the Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series.
  • Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake (2015 - 2018) (Reviews)
    Read our review of the latest Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake here. More practical estate version of the Mercedes CLA offers a decent boot, but as with the saloon version, there simply too many flaws. The fact this wagon was called the Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake rather than a simple estate speaks volumes.
  • Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (2014 - 2021) (Reviews)
    Mercedes-Benz has made a two-box car, filled it with leather, fitted a tablet PC to the dash, and garnished the whole thing with brushed steel, gloss black and wood veneer. It’s a John Lewis living room display on wheels.
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
    The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is a flagship of the German company’s model range, with an exquisite attention to detail and huge standard specification. Although other Mercedes coupe models also do the luxury experience well, none can match the sense of occasion created by the S-Class. 
  • Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (2012 - 2018) (Reviews)
    On the plus side, the cabin of the CLS Shooting Brake is almost identical to the saloon, which means it is comfortable and spacious, with an abundance of high quality trims and materials. In fact, the swoopy Mercedes-Benz will provide executive comfort up for five passengers, with low road noise and excellent all-round refinement.  The driving position is typical Mercedes-Benz too, with a good view of the road and an intelligent dashboard layout.
