If you keep track of our reports, you would’ve seen this car fully-exposed already. However, coinciding with the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz officially revealed their entry-level “four-door coupe”, the CLA.
The 2013 Detroit Auto Show, the largest in North America, is once again the scene for several new launches, although the total number is distinctly lower than several years ago. Among the new launches are the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2013 Porsche Cayman, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 2014 Lexus IS F-Sport, the 2014 Infiniti Q50 and the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Notable concepts include the Hyundai Genesis HCD-14, the BMW 4-Series Coupe, the Volkswagen CrossBlue, the Lincoln MKC, the Ford Atlas, the Nissan Resonance and the Toyota Corolla Furia, all foreshadowing future models that will debut in a year or two.
Volkswagen have released a few images of the Passat Performance concept ahead of the Detroit Auto Show. It will be the sports version of the midsize sedan.
We held off on testing the latest Volkswagen Tiguan because nothing much had changed in the big refresh of 2012. Aside from a new face and tail lamps, there’s absolutely no difference from the older model. However, while the old tester we drove was an “R-Line” model, this new one is a slightly different version.
Like the next E 63, the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG will also get a power boost, as well as get the all-wheel drive option.
The regular E-Class sedan and coupe we have already seen, but now the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG 4Matic has finally been revealed. Not only does it get a boost in power from the twin turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine, but also it has gone all-wheel drive.
Dubbed as the “world’s fastest four-seater convertible”, Bentley has unveiled the new Continental GT Speed Convertible.
The Rolls-Royce dealer in Abu Dhabi has come up with yet another special-edition model, this time a Rolls-Royce Ghost “honouring legendary Arab inventor Abbas Ibn Firnas, who is most famous for being the first man in history to make scientific attempts at flying.”
Mercedes-Benz have shown us pictures of the E-Class sedan already, and now they have revealed the 2014 E-Class Coupe and Convertible models.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is now expected to be launched in April this year, at the 2013 Beijing Auto Show. China has become a hot-bed for luxury car sales as the rich become richer and the poor assemble iPhones. However, Mercedes-Benz is still busy using Dubai as the hot-bed for prototype testing, as we spotted the camouflaged next-generation S-Class yet again in our town recently. The more interesting bit is that they’ve announced a new self-driving system for the new model. Well, almost.
