New Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 Priced From £155k In The UK, Nearly £16k More Than 751HP Taycan Turbo S

Two months ago, Mercedes unveiled the AMG EQS 53 at the Munich Motor Show as the first electric vehicle to wear the AMG badge. Now, the German automaker has released pricing for it, and it’s about what you’d expect for a range-topping high-performance EV sedan.

The EQS 53 will start at £154,995 (equal to around $208,000 at current exchange rates) in the UK, or 55% more than the base EQS 450’s starting price of £99,995. It’s also more expensive than the current flagship Porsche Taycan Turbo S that’s rated for 761PS / 751HP and kicks off from £139,280 (about $186,900).

For that money, you get a dual-motor AWD drivetrain producing 649 hp (658 PS / 484 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of instant electric torque. Upgrade to the AMG Performance Package with the Night Edition that pushes the starting price to £163,900 (around $220,000) though, and that same drivetrain produces 751 hp (761 PS / 560 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1020 Nm) of torque.

The former enables a 3.8-second sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) with a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), while the latter allows for 3.4 seconds to 62 mph with a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). The range is the same for both, with a WLTP-estimated 358 miles (576 km) on tap from the car’s 107.8 kWh battery.

Standard features on all variants include the 56-inch Hyperscreen, an AR heads-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a Burmester® surround sound system, a Parking package with Active Parking Assist, and 360° camera, Driving Assistance Package Plus, AMG sound programs, AMG-specific bodywork, and an AMG steering wheel.

Included with the Night Edition are 21-inch AMG alloy wheels, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, and sport pedals. Upgrading to the £8,995 AMG Performance Package (which is only available with the Night Edition) gets you carbon-ceramic brakes, AMG Dynamic Plus boost for Race Start, the AMG Sound Experience, the AMG Driver’s Package with increased top speed, AMG TRACK PACE, and AMG carbon-fiber interior trim.

Finally, serving as a counterpart to the bold Night Edition is the more subtle Touring specification, which comes with 22-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels and elegant ambient lighting in the cabin. On top of that, you can opt for the £2,995 Rear Luxury Lounge package (only available with the Touring), which outfits the multi-contour rear seats with black Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery, power reclining, luxury headrests, neck and shoulder heating, comfort armrests, separate climate controls, an MBUX tablet, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ is currently on sale now, with the first UK deliveries expected to arrive in April 2022.

2022 Mercedes-AMG SL Breaks Cover With 2+2 Seats, Fabric Top, AWD And Up To 577 HP

The millionaires’ Miata is back! Mercedes has overhauled the iconic SL roadster for only the seventh time in the model’s almost 70-year career, and this one takes on some seismic changes including standard all-wheel drive and the return of 2+2 seating after a three-decade absence.

Sometimes when automakers say a car is new, the fresh content that justifies that tag is limited to the bumpers at either end. But the SL really is new from the ground up, built on a new multi-material platform made from aluminum, steel, magnesium, and composites that it will eventually share with the next AMG GT coupe.

Measuring 185.2-inches (4705 mm) long and 106.3-inches (2700 mm) between the axles the new SL is 2.9-inches (74 mm) longer and rides on a wheelbase stretched 4.5-inches (115 mm) over the previous SL’s. It’s also 6-inches (154 mm) longer than the old AMG GT Roadster, which the SL sends to an early grave, remedying the previously bizarre situation where Mercedes had two different two-seat V8 convertible sports cars covering similar market turf.

Two Cars In One

[embedded content]

The new SL does the job of both and gets a subtle but significant name change to mark the promotion. Every version is now called Mercedes-AMG SL and comes with the AMG-specific Panamericana toothy grille to reflect that that legendary two-seater is now part of the AMG family.

And, for now, at least, every version has an engine worthy of that badge. Additional powertrain options will be added in time, including a PHEV and probably a mild-hybrid V6, but from launch, the choice is limited to a pair of M177 4.0-liter V8s you’ll recognize from other AMGs, with their two turbos once again nestled in the vee.

Choose From Two V8s, Or Wait For The PHEV

The entry-level SL 55 makes 470 hp and 516 lb-ft, while the punchier SL 63 ups those numbers to 577 hp and 590 lb-ft thanks to more turbo boost, improved airflow, and a software tweak. Even the base car can hit 62 mph in 3.9 seconds, but the SL 63 cuts that down to 3.6 seconds, and we’d expect the PHEV to go even harder if it borrows its hardware from the 831-hp AMG GT 63 E 4dr unveiled this September’s Munich show. Find a suitably empty stretch of derestricted autobahn and the SL 55 will top out at 183 mph, leaving the SL 63 to romp ahead to 196 mph.

Whichever of the two V8s you go for, power is channeled through Mercedes-AMG’s nine-speed automatic transmission which swaps a torque converter for a wet clutch pack that should make the SL rev faster and feel more responsive to a stab on the gas. And from there, for the first time ever in an SL, the power is sent to all four wheels, both models getting a 4Matic+ tag.

Modern five-link front suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and rear-wheel steering also come standard on both 55 and 63, the back wheels doing the usual trick of turning the opposite way to the fronts at slow speed (though in this case up to 62mph, so not that slow) and the same way at higher speeds. But the SL 63 asserts its superiority with air suspension and active roll control; the SL 55, which you can spot by its red, rather than yellow brake calipers, makes do with conventional steel coils.

More Space, Lighter Fabric Roof

Other significant changes include the addition of two small rear seats that will accommodate bodies up to 4 ft 11-inches (1.5 m), effectively limiting them to children and Snow White’s crew, and a switch from a retractable hardtop back to a triple-layer fabric convertible top.

Ditching the retractable roof concept lowers the center of gravity and is worth a 46 lbs (21 kg) saving, and it saves on trunk space when folded, too. Mercedes claims you can fit two golf bags in the trunk even with the tops down. You struggled to get much more than a golf club in older SLs when the sun was shining.

[embedded content]

And when the sun does break out from behind the clouds, you’ll be feeling those rays faster than before. The new roof cycles from open to closed in 15 seconds, a 5-second reduction, and can be operated at speeds of up to 37 mph. Benz’s Airscarf system that pumps warm air out of the front seat headrests comes standard ‘on eight-cylinder models’, says Mercedes, hinting that the range will be extended to include less powerful, less luxurious six-cylinder models later.

Whether those entry-level cars will drop in wheel size from the 19-inchers that feature on the SL 55 remains to be seen, but there will be plenty of options to upsize, either to the same 20-inch diameter rolling stock fitted to the SL 63, or bigger again, to 21 inches.

An SL With Attitude

Predictably, it’s the twenty-ones you can see in the pictures, and they do a great job of filling the SL’s swollen fenders. Visually, the 2022 SL has more in common with the outgoing AMG GT Roadster than it does with the dated, bland SL it replaces. The plus-two seating gives it a less cab-backward look than the Roadster, and the triangular LED headlights add some extra aggression to the face, but anyone looking to trade in a Roadster will feel right at home here.

AMG GT 4 Door owners, meanwhile, might recognize echoes of their car in the styling of the rear end, which comes standard with an automatically adjusting five-position spoiler to keep the tail glued to the ground. And if you want to make the nose equally sticky, you can option an Aerodynamics Package that includes visible bumper winglets, just like a race car’s, and an electronically adjustable carbon spoiler below the nose that extends by 1.6-inches (40 mm) at higher speeds, providing a venturi effect and cutting front axle lift by 110 lbs (50 kg) at 155 mph.

Hit The Track In Comfort

Contrast that almost invisible technology with the very visible tech inside the cabin. Mercedes opted not to deploy its full triple-display Hyperscreen dashboard as seen in the EQS sedan, choosing a more classically sporty design for the SL’s interior. And it decided against giving the SL the full suite of its latest autonomous technology we saw on the 2021 S-class, though it does have the usual steering assistance and automatic braking systems you’d expect from an expensive Mercedes.

But with an adjustable S-Class-style tablet on the console running Benz’s latest MBUX infotainment package, a 3D digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display, the 2022 SL is a car that tries to carefully tread the line between sports car and luxury car, hoping it can keep both camps happy. Do you think Mercedes managed it?

Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV Concept Previews The Upcoming Electric Crossover

Mercedes has officially unveiled the Maybach EQS SUV concept.

Designed to preview the upcoming electric crossover, which is expected to arrive in 2023, the model is described as a “near-production” concept that will take luxury into the 21st century.

Dressed in Zircon Red and Obsidian Black Metallic, the ultra-luxury model features a bold front fascia with a massive fully enclosed grille. It’s flanked by slender LED headlights with “individual diamond blocks framed with a fine-knit mesh of the Maybach emblem.”

Also Read: Every New Mercedes Model Will Get An All-Electric Version, Starting In 2025

Continuing further back, there’s a star hood ornament, black body cladding and massive 24-inch wheels with a bowl-like design. The model also has aerodynamically optimized running boards, full-width taillights and flush-mounted door handles.

Speaking of the doors, they’re fully automatic and the handles will extend as the driver approaches. As they get closer, the driver’s door will automatically open and they’ll also have the option of opening the rear doors remotely as well.

Moving into the cabin, drivers are greeted by a futuristic steering wheel and a full-width Hyperscreen display which includes a 12.3-inch screen for the front passenger. Elsewhere, there’s a floating center console, rose gold accents, white piano lacquer trim and a “faux fur” floor covering.

The rear passenger compartment is the star of the show as it features two executive seats, which are separated by an elegant console. The latter houses a flower vase and drink holders as well as a high-tech armrest with an integrated infotainment system.

Mercedes didn’t say much else about the concept, but the four-seater has a rear seat entertainment system and is envisioned to be offered with “individual equipment options such as folding tables, a box of champagne goblets or a refrigerated compartment.” The latter should show up in the upcoming production model.

The company was also coy about specifications, but confirmed the concept rides on their new electric vehicle platform and previews the EQS SUV which will be introduced next year. It will be followed by a Maybach variant and the company said the crossovers will have a WLTP range of around 373 miles (600 km).

BMW M5 V10 Vs Audi RS6 Vs Mercedes E55 AMG: Which German Super Wagon Wins?

Initially considered to be boring but sensible old things that were meant to carry extended families and their luggage, estates (or wagons) have become quite a hot topic over the last couple of decades — not least among the German automakers. Which is why for the best part of the last few decades we’ve been offered Teutonic estate wagons that aren’t just about space and utility. Instead, they’re all about the perfect blend of luxury and performance. You could say they’ve become the ultimate factory sleeper.

To get the perfect essence of what a hot station wagon should be, you need to go no further than the rivalry between Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. Mat Watson from CarWow decided to line-up three 2000s’ super estates, the Audi RS6 C6, the BMW E61 M5, and the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, to run the quarter-mile.

To start off, Watson is behind the wheel of the of the RS6. The Audi houses a Lamborghini-derived 5.0-liter twin-turbo V10 producing an impressive 579 hp (587 PS) that is split across all four wheels courtesy of the Quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The two-tonne machine had a price tag of around £70,000 ($100,000) when it first arrived, but you can source a decent second-hand example in the UK for around £25,000 ($35,000) today.

Watch: In A Straight Line, Can The New Audi S3 Beat The Old RS3?

Next to Watson’s weapon of choice sits the E61 M5, also accommodating a 5.0-liter engine but in the form of a naturally aspirated V10. The BMW is also lighter at 1.8-tonnes. Output on the M5 is 507 hp (514 PS) with 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque, sent entirely to the rear wheels. Brand new, the M5 also cost between £60,000-£70,000 and retains more or less the same second-hand value as the RS6.

Finally, we come to the Mercedes. The E55’s 5.4-liter V8 boasts a supercharger although, on paper, this car is the weakest in terms of output figures, with “just” 476 hp (482 PS). But with an ace up its sleeve, the Merc can produce a massive 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, all of which is transferred to the tarmac via a five-speed automatic gearbox. Once again,£60,000-£70,000 bought new from a showroom, but you can find a decent one today for around £15,000.

After a couple of sound checks (which the Bimmer unofficially won), the quarter mile was almost a foregone conclusion. In reality, it took no more than about 20 meters for the Audi to give its competitors a view of its rear end. And even with pro drivers behind the wheel of the E55 and the M5, it couldn’t be questioned that the RS6 was the quickest of the lot. Having said that, the battle for second place was much closer, where the E55 was able to get a hair ahead.

Ultimately, the RS6 proved its all-wheel drive supremacy, completing the standing quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds, while with the prefect launch, the Mercedes was not too far behind, with 13.1 seconds. Finally came the Bimmer, clocking in at 13.9 seconds, hampered by consistently poor starts and a rather lackluster gearbox in the form of BMW’s rather hated SMG transmission.

Compared to the manufacturer times the RS6 performed as expected, being the fastest on paper with a 0-60 mph time in just 3.9 seconds. The M5, when new, was slated to do 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds, although the race in Carwow’s video seemed to debunk this claim, with the Merc being the least powerful and slowest (4.4 seconds to 60 mph) but consistently bettering the Bavarian.

2022 Mercedes-AMG C63 Might Look A Lot Like This – And We Won’t Complain If It Does

The new generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class debuted earlier this week with revised styling and a four-pot petrol and diesel engine family that’s completely electrified.

Set to make its way to Euro dealers later this year and to the U.S. in early 2022, the brand’s new premium compact car will be topped by the C63 models – assuming that they will retain their predecessors’ nomenclature, as they are expected to have a turbo-four.

2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

That’s right, for the first time in the C63’s history, it will not get a big lump under the hood, but rather a turbocharged four-cylinder engine meant to keep the emissions in check. Believed to be the 2.0-liter unit powering the ‘45’ series, it will get electric assistance, so it might produce well over 500 HP, unlike the regular mill that pumps out up to 415 HP in cars such as the latest A45 S hot hatch.

So, what will it look like? In all likelihood, similar to this rendering made by XTomi, who used the bigger E63 Sedan for inspiration, making a few changes to the front end that now sports the Panamericana grille with vertical slats – an AMG signature design of their modern vehicles.

The front bumper was reshaped and now features bigger side air intakes and a discreet apron between them. As for that small crease in the front fenders, it will host a special logo on the production model, similar to the E63. The two tone finish and different wheels complete the design.

The new C63 is probably due towards the end of 2021 or sometime next year.

Note: This is an independent rendering made by XTomi that is in no way related to or endorsed by Mercedes

BMW M5 Competition, Mercedes-AMG E63 S And Audi RS6 Settle Their Rivalry In The Wet

The Audi RS6 Avant, Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and BMW M5 Competition are all extremely fast, but which is actually quicker in adverse conditions?

To answer that question, the guys from CarWow brought the trio to a rain-soaked runway and hosted a series of performance tests, starting off with two drag races.

Watch Also: Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, Audi RS6, Mercedes-AMG E 63 S, And BMW M5 Competition Are Frightfully Fast

All three cars are powered by twin-turbocharged V8 engines and produce close to 600 hp. Moreover, all feature dual-clutch transmissions and send power to all four wheels. With this in mind, the race should be quite competitive, but in this test, it was the RS6 Avant that stormed away in both drag races.

For whatever reason, the Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system is able to put its power to the ground much more efficiently in the wet conditions than the systems used by the BMW and Mercedes-AMG. Interestingly, the RS6 Avant has proven to be slightly slower than the M5 Competition and E 63 S in dry conditions.

The second test is a rolling race between the trio and it is a very different story, as the BMW and Mercedes-AMG E 63 S rocket away from the Audi with their transmissions set in automatic modes Last but not least is a braking test between the trio but as the presenter acknowledges, it wasn’t really a fair test as there wasn’t an even amount of water across the runway.

How Close Did Mercedes Come To Envisioning The Future With The F 100 Concept 30 Years Ago?

Back in 1991, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a concept called the F 100. With “F” standing for future, this car was supposed to be a glimpse into the future of not just Mercedes as a company, but the automobile as a whole.

The research vehicle made its debut 30 years ago on January 12, 1991, at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The engineers and designers responsible for the F 100 worked their hardest to fit more cutting-edge tech into it than any research vehicle before it.

It’s actually quite amazing how much of the future Mercedes predicted with the F 100. Whether it be steering wheel phone controls, distance control, or the tire pressure monitoring system, what seemed farfetched back in 1991 is now commonplace in today’s vehicles. Given that, let’s take a look at some of the technology from the F 100 that we see on our roads today.

Visibility

The first technology was gas-discharge headlights. It was first introduced to a Mercedes in 1995 on the W210 E-Class in the form of Xenon headlights. While today we’ve mostly moved past the need for gas-discharge headlights thanks to LEDs, for many years after the technology’s production debut they were a big deal on cars. The other technology in this category pioneered by the F 100 was rain-sensing wipers. First used on a Mercedes in 1996 with the C140 CL-Class, today it’s a common feature even in mass-market cars.

Convenience

The first of the F 100’s innovations in convenience was steering wheel controls for phones. First implemented on a Mercedes in 1998 with the W220 S-Class, it too is a very common piece of kit nowadays. Another feature from the F 100 we see today is keyless entry and push-button start. Introduced in 1999 as KEYLESS-GO on the W220 S-Class, many new cars sold today have this technology either as standard or as an option. Lastly, the F 100 featured a tire pressure monitoring system, something first implemented on a Mercedes in 1999 with the C215 CL-Class; again, something that’s become very commonplace.

Powertrain

The F 100 featured front-wheel drive, which was usual for the industry, but a no-no for a Mercedes at that time. Where the research vehicle really shone in its powertrain that used hydrogen power combined with a roof-mounted solar panel, which, as a feasible fuel source, was basically unheard of back in 1991. Even today, there are only a handful of hydrogen vehicles on sale, which really shows how ahead of their time Mercedes was with the idea.

Safety

Numerous safety systems featured on the F 100 eventually made their way into the industry. The first was distance control, which would be similar to today’s adaptive cruise control, and was first launched on a Mercedes as DISTRONIC in 1998 with the W220 S-Class. Moreover, there were Active Blind Spot Assist and a backup camera, which were introduced in 2007 and 2005 respectively on the W221 S-Class. All of these features are things we see in many cars on the road today, yet Mercedes was thinking about them all the way back in 1991.

In addition to safety technologies and crash-prevention measures, Mercedes also designed the F 100 with many crash-resistant physical features. Things like a central driver’s seat, easy-opening doors, and added distance to interior surfaces all help the F 100 protect its occupants in the event of crash, as well as allow them to get out easily shortly after.

Networking

Where the F 100 was really a futurist was in its extensive use of networked technology in a vehicle such as a mobile fax machine and a permanently-installed personal computer. Some of the technology is a little antiquated now, but the idea to use such principles at the time is what highlighted Mercedes’ forward-thinking nature back in 1991.

While Mercedes might not have been the first to implement some of the technologies mentioned in this article, it is worth acknowledging the foresight they had to think about them three decades ago.

Can The Mercedes-Maybach GLS Take On The Bentley Bentayga And Rolls-Royce Cullinan?

While the regular Mercedes-Benz GLS challenges the likes of the BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 takes the battle to the ultra-luxurious Bentley Bentayga, Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Range Rover SVAutobiography.

On paper, it ticks most boxes, including the extravagant styling on the outside, a more luxurious cabin with the best materials and amenities required from such a vehicle, extra sound deadening for that cocooned feeling and a magic carpet ride that allows those sitting in the back to take a nap if they so please.

Watch Also: Range Rover SVAutobiography Is Still The King Of Luxury SUVs

If it’s one thing it lacks, that is a twelve-cylinder engine; despite the ‘600’ badging, power is supplied by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 which delivers 550 HP (558 PS / 410 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. The EQ Boost starter generator produces an extra 21 HP (21 PS / 16 kW) and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm), enabling a 0 to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 4.8 seconds despite a weight of almost 3 tons (6,600 lbs), while top speed is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

At a base price of $161,550, including destination, the Maybach GLS 600 costs about the same as the Bentayga Hybrid and it is about half the price of a base Cullinan. So, if you want the most luxurious SUV in the market, should the Maybach be your first choice, or would you rather go for the Bentley, the Rolls-Royce or the Range Rover instead? If you’re undecided, then the following video review could help you make up your mind, so head on down and click the play button.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class Now Comfier Thanks To Airmatic Air Suspension

Mercedes-Benz has given the V-Class a facelift last year, with revised styling, more safety and assistance systems, as well as a new four-cylinder diesel engine and 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.

Another major update made last year was the adoption of the MBUX multimedia system. Now, the V-Class is getting even more sophisticated with the availability of the Airmatic air suspension system, which Mercedes says is a USP in the segment.

Compared to the regular suspension of the V-Class, Airmatic brings several advantages. The most obvious is the increased driving comfort in all types of terrain, but there are also other benefits. Those include optimized noise levels in the whole vehicle, reduced fuel consumption at high speeds, and personalization via different drive programs.

The Airmatic air suspension adapts the V-Class chassis to a wide variety of road conditions, ensuring constant ground clearance in all types of load status and even on rough terrain. Furthermore, the double, frequency-selective damping control regulates itself independently on each wheel of the V-Class in response to the current state of the road. This improves driving stability and rolling comfort thanks to reduced body movements.

The driver can choose from different drive programs using the Dynamic Select switch in the center console. The “Comfort” and “Manual” programs keep the V-Class at the standard height up to a speed of 110 km/h (68 mph). At higher speeds, the suspension is automatically lowered by 10 mm (0.4 in), something that’s also possible at lower speeds when the “Sport” program is selected. Finally, the “Lift” program lifts the vehicle by up to 35 mm (1.4 in), at speeds of up to 30 km/h (18 mph).

In addition to the V-Class, the Airmatic air suspension system is also available for the EQV all-electric variant, the Vito Tourer, the eVito Tourer, and the complete Marco Polo camper and leisure van family.

2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Is Really Rewarding On The Track

Like its iconic predecessors, the new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is one beast of a car.

It sits at the top of the GT range, being Merc’s most powerful model ever, and sports some clever active and passive aerodynamics inspired by the GT3 racer.

Those louvers, air intakes and outtakes, hood scoops and giant rear wing are all there to help it corner faster at high speeds, and the modified twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 gives it the grunt to match those looks.

The V8 has a flat-plane crank and puts out 720 horsepower (730 PS / 537 kW) and 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) of torque. It sprints to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.2 seconds, and to 124 mph (200 km/h) in less than 9 secods. Give it enough space and it will eventually top out at 202 mph (325 km/h).

Despite being front-engined, it actually feels like a front mid-engined car, according to the latest review in which the GT Black Series was put to the test at the Lausitzring track by Autocar. The reviewer also commented that the steering is light and offers loads of feedback and the brakes are good.

Overall, one can call it a rewarding driving experience, although for £335,000 ($432,495) in the UK, that’s to be expected. After all, that’s high-end supercar territory, so it has to be not just good, but very good, to make its mark.
