See or be seen – Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 SUV and Coupe review
![Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_20240427_125118-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
Sometimes, being indecisive is a good thing. For example, when the offer of a new Mercedes-AMG GLC to review came with an SUV or Coupe option, my huge pause as I lamented over style vs practicality, form over function… meant that their Media Relations & Brand Engagement person stopped waiting and gave me BOTH. To […]
EQE Glee – Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 SUV review
![Mercedes AMG EQE 53 SUV review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_20240212_111146-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
The EQE is the executive model nameplate of the Mercedes-Benz, rapidly expanding all-electric EQ range. I recently reviewed the Sedan style of the EQE, however, arguably rather confusingly, there’s also an SUV EQE too, so you can be damned sure I wanted to test that out as well. To add to my glee, not only […]

Less is so much more – Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC review
![2023 Mercedes-AMG C43 review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IMG_20230716_103601-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
Call me old-fashioned, but it wasn’t that long ago that a 2L engine produced 70 kW of power and 148 Nm of torque, well not only does the latest 2L C43 AMG boast over four times that power, but with 310 kW and 500 Nm, the output rivals its very own twin-turbo V6 – oh […]
3 in 1 Merc – Mercedes-Benz C350e PHEV review
![Mercedes-Benz C350e review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_20221221_132615-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
Having already reviewed (and been impressed with) the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, to hear that they had extended the range (literally) with the addition of a PHEV model, I was naturally keen to take that for a spin too – Mercedes-Benz NZ were happy to oblige. For those that haven’t ventured inside the new C-Class, […]

Mercedes-Benz already offers owners a range of luxury goods to match their lifestyle and now they have added a few more! Two new roof boxes have been unveiled that not only add a touch of style but also double up as extra storage space. Available in either 430 or 590 litres, the roof boxes easily […]
Class Act – 2022 Mercedes C 300 Review

I find the older I get, the more appreciation I have for a leisurely and more relaxed way of driving. Sure, getting out onto a twisty road with some million-horsepower asphalt devourer will still get the adrenaline going, but the appeal having just enough power to soak up the miles in quiet and refinement grows […]
2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class – first drive
![2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class review](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/IMG_20211009_174311-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
Mercedes-Benz has just released their sixth-generation C-Class and with it their best selling Sedan has been significantly overhauled. It’s bigger than before, sleeker in style, comes with a full range of mild-hybrid enhanced powertrains and a suite of technical goodies that are straight out of their flagship limo S-Class. In fact, it sounded so good […]

For a long time, if you wanted to have an insight into what kind of technology would be common place on the average car within the next decade, you would look to the Mercedes S-Class. Why? Because throughout its lifetime, variations of Mercedes’ flagship luxury saloon have packed a sterling CV of technological firsts which […]
