Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV

Mercedes-Benz started the four door coupe styling trend back in 2005 when they launched the CLS-Class. Well taking that one step further they have carried that trend into SUVs. This is the first we’ve seen of a Mercedes-Benz SUV with coupe styling. It was rumored a few years back that they were working on something based on the M-Class. However, this is a drastic departure from what a normal M-Class looks like. We are hoping that this car will retain a lot of its design elements if it goes into production. So far we are assuming it will be called the MLC, and who knows maybe a couple version of the GLK-Class will be next. Considering no interior photos have been release we would assume it would look rather similar to an M-Class. Also, it’s no secret that this is Mercedes-Benz answer to the X6, and we can’t wait to see what AMG’s answer to the X6M will be! Currently, the power plant is a 3.0 liter bi-turbo V6, which is the same motor that will be in a 2015 ML350.

2015 S-Class Coupe

After almost 60 years the tradition of a large Mercedes-Benz Coupes continue, but it won’t be the CL-Class anymore. In 2015 Mercedes-Benz will launch the all new S-Class Coupe. With the launch of CLA-Class Mercedes-Benz has really shown a new more aggressive styling on all their models, the S-Class Coupe is no exception. As with the outgoing model the S550 Coupe will be offered with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive as standard. Standard horsepower on the 4.7 biturbo V8 offered in the S550 has been bumped to 449hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Some firsts for the Mercedes-Benz Brand is a new touchpad controller for the infotainment system as well as optional heads-up display. However, this will also be offered on the upcoming 2015 C-Class. A unique feature to the S-Class Coupe is the inclusion of 48 Swarovski crystals in the headlights. As with the S-Class sedan expect a slew of standard safety and convenient features. Also keep your eye out for the S63 AMG® Coupe that will be coming out shortly after the launch of the 550.

2014 E250 BlueTEC®

Mercedes-Benz has always been a pioneer of diesel technology and their new turbo charged 4 cylinder diesel engine continues with that trend. This motor is currently only available in the GLK, but now the E350 BlueTEC® is being replaced by the more fuel efficient E250 BlueTEC®. With 45 mpg highway and 28 mpg city it achieves the best in class fuel efficiency for a midsize luxury sedan.  Another first for an E-Class diesel is the availability our 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. The diesels are popular here in the PNW, but it has always been a hard decision for consumers to choose between the fuel efficiency of the diesel or all-wheel drive. We’ll they can now get the best of both worlds. The E250 BlueTEC® should be arriving in our showroom shortly.

S-Class Coupe

With the All new 2014 S-Class coming out in about a month, there have been questions about when the new CL-Class is coming. Well, first things first, there will be no CL-Class anymore. Just like the CLK-Class made way for the E-Class Coupe and Convertible, the CL-Class is now the S-Class Coupe. So we should be seeing the All New S-Class coupe as a 2015 Model. As you can see from the official concept designs, it is far more aggressive than the S-Class. However, as usual it does carry over a lot of the new technology that will debut on the 2014 S-Class. Sportier design and all the tech goodies sounds like a winning combination. And don’t hold us to it, but there are rumors of a convertible version of the S-Class Coupe. Think back to when Mercedes-Benz showed off the Ocean Drive concept car. It was a large 4 passenger soft top convertible. We think it is very plausible we’ll see a soft top convertible S-Class sooner than later.

The AMG® S-Models are Beginning to Arrive

New for Model Year 2014 is the addition of S-Models to the AMG® lineup. The new S-Model is the replacement for the P30 Performance Package. As of this moment the S-Model is available for the CLS63 AMG® and the E63 AMG®. There is a difference of 27hp (550hp vs. 577) and 59 lb-ft of torque (590 lb-ft vs 531 lb-ft). Both the regular and S-Model AMG® vehicles are equipped with AMG® 4MATIC® Performance All Wheel Drive. The torque split is 33% front and 67% rear. The 4MATIC® is critically important in getting the massive 577hp to the road, for an impressive 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds.  All in all the S-Model CLS-Class and E-Class are quicker than a 2013 Lamborghini GALLARDO LP 560-4, 2013 Audi R8, 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the 2013 Ferrari California. The visual differentiation between the Normal and S-Models are as follows: 19’’ 10 Spoke Titanium Wheels, Red Brake Calipers, Chrome Rocker Panel Insert, “S” AMG® Badge, Conjoined Quad Exhaust Pipes, Spoiler, Silver Contrast Stitching and Silver Seat Belts, Affalterbach Crest Pressed into headrests, to name a few.
