Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius, a self-described “petrol head” who once ran AMG, says driving an electric AMG with a simulated V8 turned him into “a born-again Christian.” The comments, made in a new interview, are Mercedes’ clearest pitch yet that enthusiasts, not just early adopters, are supposed to love its next wave of EVs.

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.

In the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week’s episode, we discuss rumors of a Tesla/SpaceX merger, Rivian’s earnings, R2 progress, and efficiency test, new Mercedes GLA, and more.

Mercedes-Benz gave its smallest SUV a glow-up. The new electric GLA offers more space for passengers, ultra-fast charging, and a range of over 400 miles.

What We Know So Far

At an 800-volt DC charger, the new GLA can charge at 320 kW, adding 168 miles of range in just 10 minutes.

Like its CLA and GLB siblings, the third-generation GLA has lots of tech, nicer looks and new powertrains - and it's RWD in electric form.

What We Know So Far

The next-gen GLA subcompact luxury SUV will lead with an EV, but a hybrid variant will follow.

The GLA is the smallest, most affordable SUV Mercedes-Benz offers. Ahead of its debut on July 29, the first image of the all-new GLA EV leaked online.

The company is broadening the C-Class's horizons even further for its well-heeled customers despite it being a chaotic time in the EV market.

Mercedes-Benz has officially kicked off production of its upcoming all-electric C-Class at its factory in Kecskemét, Hungary, as the automaker expands EV production in Europe ahead of a wave of new electric models.

Reducing motor speed helps the new electric CLA go further on a charge, especially during highway driving.

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

One out of every four Mercedes cars sold in Europe was fully electric. The rest of the world is nowhere near that level.

The new AMG GT is a technological marvel. Let's see if buyers can get past the way it looks.

The era of ultra-high performance Mercedes EVs is here.
