The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain marks its debut as a versatile, high-riding, all-wheel-drive wagon. This model caters to customers seeking a model that can handle light off-roading adventures, such as traversing dirt or gravel paths, all while avoiding the bulkiness of an SUV.

The All-Terrain model distinguishes itself from the sedan with a unique front grille design, featuring two bars accented by an elegant Iridium Silver finish at the center. The lower fascia has also been revised to complement this distinctive look.

To enhance its rugged appeal, the wagon incorporates dark grey cladding on the wheel arches. While the standard configuration includes 18-inch wheels, customers have the option to upgrade to 19- or even 20-inch sizes to tailor the wagon’s appearance to their preferences.

The Concept CLA-Class electric car, which Mercedes-Benz revealed in Munich, provides a preview of what the next complete redesign of the CLA would look like. The usage of existing elements here suggests that many of the components shown in this idea will probably be included in the following-generation CLA.

The Concept CLA-Class, built on the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), features a sleek and aerodynamic design. Inside, it incorporates sustainable interior materials, reflecting the growing trend towards eco-friendly automotive options.

The Concept CLA maintains the distinctive and iconic “four-door coupe” design, a hallmark of the CLA nameplate since its introduction in 2014. However, designers have refined its appearance by elongating the hood and shortening the rear deck, achieving sportier proportions. The concept is adorned in a striking Pomegranate Red paint color, further enhancing its visual appeal.

The latest iteration of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB has made its debut, featuring a handful of minor enhancements. This compact electric SUV was initially introduced for the 2022 model year, making it noteworthy that Mercedes has swiftly implemented updates to improve upon its existing offering.

The grille adopts the signature Mercedes-EQ family appearance, characterized by the black panel adorned with an array of stars. Buyers now have the choice between black or chrome stars on the grille. The redesigned front bumper serves to enhance the visual width of the vehicle’s front fascia, contributing to a more commanding presence.

Turning our attention to the rear, Mercedes has undertaken modifications to the lighting within the expansive taillight, resulting in a rejuvenated visual identity. These subtle alterations, in addition to the introduction of two new colour options – Starling Blue and Cirrus Silver – serve to complete the array of exterior revisions.

The most potent AMG C-class, the C63, sacrificed the V-8 for a turbocharged hybridised four-cylinder engine, and the impending E63, the next top-of-the-line E-class, will get by with an inline-six plug-in hybrid system. Some claim that this isn’t competitive enough to compete with the twin-turbo inline-six BMW M3 and the upcoming hybrid twin-turbo V-8 BMW M5.

According to reports, Mercedes-Benz has said that the V8 is returning, and not only to the C63. Also allegedly receiving V8 power again is the E63. To comply with EU7 emissions regulations, the eight-cylinder is now undergoing modifications. The 831hp AMG GT63 S E Performance and the 791hp AMG S63 both employ this engine, and both of those cars pair it with a hybrid system.

Between 1996 and 2003, Mercedes-Benz produced the Vito of the first generation.

As a more opulent and upmarket variant, the body style was also offered under the V-Klasse brand (the V-Klasse name was dropped for the second generation of the Vito). In November 2017, the eVito, an electric panel van variation utilising the W447 chassis, was released.

The EQV, with a more potent drivetrain and a larger battery than the eVito, was shown as a concept at the March 2019 Geneva Motor Show. It is an electric version of the V-Class that uses the same Vito W447 chassis.

This year, Mercedes-Benz Vans has introduced its refreshed medium-sized series with a new exterior and interior design. The series consists of the new EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo, the new eVito and Vito.
