We recently attended the launch of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC in a very cold and wet Cape Peninsula. Here are some of our impressions from driving this new luxury crossover…

Road Trip: 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S Coupé 4Matic+
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This proverb was brutally hammered home by the car you’re looking at now: a black-on-black 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupé 4Matic Plus.
Padtoets: 2019 Mercedes-Benz X350d 4Matic
‘n Brief aan Mercedes
Mercedes-Benz het tans ‘n geweldige kopseer, of so bleik dit in die onlangse nuus opskrifte. Met slegte verkope mag die nuwe X-klas dalk vanaf die mark getrek word. Dit is net mooi gedurende hierdie tydperk waar die (duurste) X350d dubbel-kajuit 4Matic “Power” aan ons toegerus is.
Padtoets: 2018 Mercedes-AMG E43 4Matic
Die stilte van die nag word versteur
Ons het onlangs weer die Mercedes-Benz AMG E43 4 Matic getoets. Dié keer met 18 000 km op die spoedmeter. Aansienlik meer as toe ons die eerste toets gedoen het. Die vraag is dan: “Hoe het die AMG E43 verouder en is dit ‘n voertuig om elke dag mee te leef?”
Tested: 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic+
The absurd nerves
Beginning of this week I picked up my new driver’s license; well, the umpteenth re-issue of a document which is almost 25 years old and in severe danger of being taken away. Forever. You see, I’ve been driving the new Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic+ and it’s completely and utterly insane.
Sprint Review: Mercedes-AMG E43 4Matic
One hot new car, lots of details in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: Mercedes-Benz appears to be bored or smoking something. What was once a respected maker of dreary sofas on wheels has become a bunch of swivel-eyed scientists producing fashionable street racers. They also made merry with their badges, none of which describe what’s left in the tin.
Sprint Review: Mercedes-Benz GLA220d 4Matic AMG Line
A new car, lots of information in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: Mercedes-Benz is not just the oldest car maker in the world, it’s also one of the most dynamic brands. A few decades ago they built boring beige tanks for your grandma, now they cater to our ever-accelerating desire for individuality, instant gratification and ego-boosting experiences.
Padtoets: Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 d 4Matic
Boere Rolls Royce? ‘n Mercedes bly ‘n Mercedes!
Ten spyte van al die nuutste tegnologie en hoë-verrigting modelle van ander Duitse vervaardigers bly die driepuntige ster op die sierrooster steeds dié simbool wat getuig van vakmanskap, tydlose styl en goeie, gesofistikeerde smaak!
Bekendstelling: 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Klas
Mercedes-Benz stel sy nuutse veranderinge aan die generasie A-klas bekend
Die nuwe generasie A-klas het in September 2012 sy intrede in die mark gemaak. As gevolg van die groot sukses wat hierdie model wêreldwyd bereik het is produksie vanaf Rastatt in Augustus 2013 na Valmet Automotive Sales in Finland uitgebrei. In Brittanje het verkope verlede jaar met 46% en in die groeiende mark in China met meer as 50% gestyg alhoewel die meeste verkope nog steeds in Duitsland is.
Sprint Review: Mercedes-Benz CLS63 S AMG
A new car, lots of information in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: The Mercedes CLS is a four-door coupé, which means that it’s technically a two-door car with four doors. This brazen contradiction is quite elegant and practical though, proven by the CLS’ popularity – built since the mid 2000’s, this model is the second generation of this car.
