May cause drowsiness – Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 review
With its soft cushions, silent and luxurious surroundings and ultra smooth ride, you could be mistaken for believing that the cabin of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV was a suite in a 5-Star hotel (ok not the ride), but rest assured that despite its soft and comforting appearance, this large EV can certainly shift its %###.

See or be seen – Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 SUV and Coupe review
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 […]
Take a seat – Mercedes GLE 450d and AMG 63 S review
Whether it’s one of seven or a straight out HOT one, Mercedes’ new GLE is sure to have a seat that fits. The (optional) seven seat GLE 450d and the AMG 63 S SUVs have just landed in New Zealand and as luck would have it, Merecdes-Benz gave us both to try. The first GLE […]
Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC now SUV and Coupé duo
The latest generation of the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC line-up offers a more enticing choice than ever: the family-friendly appeal of the GLC 43 4MATIC SUV or the striking design of the GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé. Both are underpinned by a new powerplant that is smaller and more efficient, yet also more powerful than the […]
EQE Glee – Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 SUV review
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
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 […]
Less is more – new Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC first drive
Originally launched in 2016, the Mercedes-Benz GLC rapidly became the German luxury brand’s biggest selling SUV. Boasting over 2.6 million happy customers and topping category charts, are certainly milestones that are tough acts to follow, so in short, the second generation has to be good – thankfully, it is. Let me get one thing straight […]
3 in 1 Merc – Mercedes-Benz C350e PHEV review
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, […]
B-quiet – Mercedes-EQ EQB 350 review
Mercedes’ EQ alphabet continues to expand with the ‘quiet’ introduction of the all-electric B. I say quiet as it slipped into the NZ range without a lot of fanfare or even a local launch, but thankfully we were given the keys for a week to make our own assessment. Having driven the B-Class when it […]
