Mercedes teased a new sport SUV on its AMG social media channels over the weekend, expected to be the SUV counterpart to its bonkers 1,153hp AMG GT 4-door revealed in May.

It’s expected to mirror the AMG GT 4-Door EV in both styling and performance, likely with over 1000 horsepower from a tri-motor setup.

BMW Korea and Mercedes-Benz Korea can better fend off the rapid rise of Tesla and Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) makers by pivoting toward Korea’s growing ultra-luxury vehicle segment — an arena where newcomers are unlikely to match their brand heritage and exclusivity anytime soon, industry officials said Friday. Rather than competing head-on in the increasingly crowded premium market, the German automakers are expanding their highest-end offerings, betting that their longstanding brand heritage and premium positioning will remain difficult for newer rivals to replicate. The strategy comes as Tesla and Chinese brands, such as BYD, continue to gain traction in Korea, eroding the dominance long enjoyed by established premium automakers. For instance, Tesla’s price-competitive Model Y won a title as the nation’s top-selling vehicle in the first half, accounting for more than 30 percent of all newly-registered vehicles here. While German brands still remain strong in the luxury segment,

The entry-level AMG four-door EV uses one fewer motor than the GT 63, yet still makes 536 hp and hits 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.

It's less powerful than the 1153-hp GT63, but this new entry-level variant will still be plenty quick.

The electric CLA45's record lap was faster than a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, and almost 13 seconds faster than the old gas-powered CLA45.

Mercedes-Benz Korea’s new CEO Shirin Emeera faces a dual challenge of reviving the carmaker’s slowing electric vehicle (EV) sales and rebuilding consumer confidence. Since assuming the role on July 1, Emeera has led Mercedes-Benz Korea at a pivotal moment as the German luxury carmaker rapidly loses ground to Tesla and BMW in Korea. A veteran executive with more than two decades of experience, she most recently oversaw dealer network strategy and market management at the company's headquarters in Germany. Industry officials expect her extensive expertise in retail operations and distribution strategy to play a key role in strengthening Mercedes-Benz Korea's newly introduced direct-sales system and restoring sales momentum. Before assuming her current role, Emeera led Mercedes-Benz's operations in Sweden and Denmark, where she successfully guided the brand to the top position in the premium vehicle segment. Her track record has raised expectations that she can successfully steer the

The new C 400 4MATIC is built on an 800-volt architecture designed for efficiency and long-distance travel. Its estimated range is up to 762 kilometers (473 miles) on the WLTP cycle. And Mercedes boasts that it's the "sportiest C-Class ever" but also "smooth like an S-Class." While Mercedes-Benz has a long history of releasing EVs under its "EQ" branding, the current C-Class is only available in a gas, mild-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain.
