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 […]
C-3P-Ohh – 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 SE PHEV first drive

I assume that the Star Wars fans out there will get the headline, but just as C-3PO was a humanoid robot, way more technologically advanced than its peers, the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S, is a standout performance sedan, that comes with ‘P3’ hybrid system that’s fast enough to make you go ooooh! Because the V8 […]
The best or nothing – 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 review
![2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DSC04616-4000x2672.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
To me, Mercedes is all about choice, a big range of vehicles and multiple options within that category – however, with the new, second generation GLC, Mercedes-Benz NZ has opted for just one model, their best-selling 300. So I guess they’re living up to their ‘best and nothing’ slogan. The GLC was first launched in […]
The Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4Matic+ REALLY means business

My first taste of the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 was at the Hampton Downs racetrack where I got to try out launch control and whizz around the tarmac a couple of times. Fair to say that the experience was a thrill but left me wanting more – Mercedes-Benz NZ were happy to throw me the keys […]

We spent an afternoon on track with Mercedes-Benz, experiencing their new Driving Events programme!
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 […]
Mercedes Releases Range of Roof Boxes

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 […]
6th Generation Mercedes-Benz C200/300 launch drive

As we neared the end of 2021, I found myself behind the wheel of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class in my home town of Swindon, England. Now although I often refer to the Wiltshire town as ‘the New York of the South’, I have to say that the unkempt roads and 30mph speed limits did very […]
E-zy breezy – 2021 Mercedes-Benz E350 Cabriolet review
![2021 Mercedes-Benz E350 Cabriolet review NZ](https://b1741989.smushcdn.com/1741989/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_20211211_151012-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
2021 Mercedes-Benz E350 Cabriolet review New Zealand – E-legant, e-motional, e-asy on the eye, e-fficient and now e-lectrified, the new E-Class has the ability to e-nliven all manner of senses, but when you add in a Coupe style and ‘drop the top’ cabriolet driving takes on a whole new level. Mercedes-Benz NZ let us play […]
Rapper’s delight – 2021 G-Wagon Review

2021 G440d AND AMG G63 review NZ. Thanks to Mercedes-Benz NZ loaning me not one but two new G-Class’ (or G wagons) and my extensive amount of internet trawling, I now believe I have discovered why Rappers like this iconic and awesome, yet (some would say) rather unimaginatively boxy SUV. Like me, you’ve undoubtedly all […]
