Mercedes-Benz is calling their S-Class the “world’s best car,” which is quite the self-awarded title. Though the tag is a debatable one, there is no second opinion on the fact that the S-Class has been a leader in the full-size luxury sedan segment since forever (and we owned one!). And now, Mercedes-Benz improves their so-called “best car” even further, introducing the new W223 generation. Just like every S-Class before it, the new 2021 S-Class is a massive leap ahead of the outgoing one.
Soon after BMW unveiled the four-door supercar slayer, the 2021 BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz lifted the covers off their four-door rocket, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan and its wagon variant. The new E63 S follows the newly refreshed E Class that was launched some time ago.
Just a few months after the reveal of the updated 4-door 2021 Mercedes E Class, the German manufacturer has now shown off the Coupe and Cabriolet versions of the executive sedan. The lineup also includes the new E53 AMG Coupe and Cabriolet.
The Mercedes Benz E-Class has always been the handsome middle-child of the German premium carmaker. The sedan has racked up a considerable amount of volume and became a forerunner for the success of the brand. For 2021, the Mercedes Benz E-Class has been lightly revamped, and with this update, the sedan and wagon versions get a frumpy new look, new tech, and a plug-in hybrid version.
When Mercedes-AMG launched the A 45 S AMG and CLA 45 S AMG back in 2019, they were (and still are) the most powerful four-cylinder cars on the planet. Now, Mercedes-AMG has plonked in the same mill into their sub-compact quasi-crossover — the newly revamped GLA — to give birth to the 2021 GLA 45 AMG. But this time around, there’s none of that bounty of power.
The first month of the new decade opened up to two massive recalls from two Japanese manufacturers, one letting the infamous Takata airbag issue to resurface. In addition to this, an American manufacturer is correcting a mistake that it had made while it was correcting a previous mistake.
The previous-generation Mercedes Benz GLA served as the initial stepping stone to the German giant’s overly-extensive SUV lineup that leads up to the G-Wagen (which is what you should really be saving up for, and skipping the rest). Even though it looked like a bloated hatchback than a full-on crossover and therefore never caught on here, this never deterred Euro-centric customers as the little crossover racked up more than a million sales worldwide throughout its lifetime. Now Mercedes Benz has taken the covers off the second-generation GLA, giving it more of that crossover flavour.
Here is the list of all the cars that had a global recall in the month of October 2019.
Electrification was the overriding theme at this year’s Frankfurt motor show, and virtually every brand represented (there were far fewer this year) headlined their presentation with one or more battery-powered offerings.
