The CLE53 AMG Coupe is the flagship model in the CLE line-up. It’s competing directly with German performance coupes such as the BMW M440i and Audi S5. Previous AMG models had a very visceral feeling to them with their raw exhaust tone, stiff ride and swollen wheel arches – and this new model, on the surface, continues that trend. The CLE53 is the car which comes underneath the upcoming CLE63, but as we’ve come to expect from anything with an AMG badge, we’re sure that this cooker model has still been designed to offer a decent level of performance. The new CLE53 has a 3.0-litre engine and mil...

The CLE replaces the C-Class coupe and now Mercedes has decided to chop the roof off it to make it attractive to those who want the wind in the hair experience. Essentially a forerunner to the old C-Class Cabriolet, the CLE Cabriolet is directly competing with the convertible versions of the BMW 4-Series and Audi A5. Designed to offer four-seater luxury with the ability to travel longer distances, Mercedes has created the CLE Cabriolet to be refined, comfortable and above all, engaging to drive. That’s the intention, anyway, which is why we’ve headed to sunny Tenerife to see what it’s all abou...

"Hey, what's the weather like along the route?" When BMW developer Justin Forsyth gets into the prototype of the new Mini Countryman, he no longer has to press any buttons or tap into screen menus. That's because the next generation of the popular small car will also see a new digital assistant go into series production. "It has its very own character, British accent and a touch of English humour", said Forsyth, who works as a programmer at the manufacturer's tech office in Silicon Valley. Forsyth quipped that he was once reprimanded by the car for being a late riser by the chatbot when he onc...

Former world champion Sebastian Vettel is not among drivers the Mercedes team is considering as successor of Lewis Hamilton from next season onwards, Germany's Bild paper reported on Friday. Bild said that Vettel was not on a shortlist of three drivers the Formula One team was considering. Vettel, 36, won four world titles with Red Bull 2010-2013 and retired after the 2022 season. The German has not ruled out a comeback lately, and he may still be a candidate for other teams. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff had earlier Friday confirmed at the Japanese Grand Prix that they were looking at a ...

Asked directly if Verstappen is his number one pick, Wolff replied: “Yes. I mean, you see what his performance levels are. But I wouldn’t want to discount the other ones too." "There are a few options that ...

The slow-selling Mercedes-Benz EQS is not winning any prizes for good looks, which is probably why the maker has opted to make the electric limousine look more purposeful - with a new fake grille. Although electric cars typically don't need a grille for ventilation, the EQS is reportedly set to get a regular, S-Class-style grille as part of a midlife revamp which will also give buyers the chance to order the grille-mounted three-pointed star emblem. It seems many customers do not like the smooth, bar-of-soap looks of the car, despite a wow-factor cockpit and loads of high-tech gear. Sales have...
