S-Class

£72,670 – £187,135

Rivals are closer than ever, but S-Class remains our favourite luxo-barge. For now

9/10
Mercedes-Benz

E-Class Estate

£37,810 – £94,910

One of the most practical, sensible and desirable large estates.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

C-Class

£28,695 – £76,513

Meet the new C-Class, same as the old C-Class: comfy, techy and classy

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

B-Class

£22,980 – £35,614

The B-Class is now a genuine contender – if an expensive one – in the family hatch sector.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

C-Class Coupe

£35,025 – £78,803

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

CLS

£52,530 – £82,825

Same waft, just with added style. A fine long-distance GT, if ever there was one.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

G-Class

£143,305

The leaps forward in road manners, cabin design and quality take the G-Class from being an ageing anachronism to a car that can be considered alongside top end Range Rovers

Mercedes-Benz

E-Class

£35,810 – £106,325

Mercedes has thrown everything it knows into the new E-Class. You can tell.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

C-Class Estate

£31,785 – £77,713

Classy, sensible and easy to live with. Not the most exciting small estate on sale, but possibly the most well-rounded

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

S-Class Coupe

£104,060 – £188,760

Great looking, stuffed with tech, implausibly fast. A private jet for the road

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

AMG GT

£99,905 – £146,825

Dramatic, fast and useable, with Mercedes’ thoroughness and AMG’s sporting genes.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

C-Class Cabriolet

£38,844 – £81,221

Mercedes nails it. The C-Class cabrio is pleasant to drive but majors on open-top relaxation

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

E Class All-Terrain

£49,000

It’s not revolutionary, but in refocusing the dynamics to deliver a more relaxed driving experience, the All-Terrain is the most compelling E-Class estate out there.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

V-Class Marco Polo

£48,770 – £59,185

Every bit as convincing as the VW California. What is loses in the finer packaging details, it makes up for in quality and design.

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

E-Class Cabriolet

£45,295 – £69,135

Mercedes almost undermines its own flagship with new E-Class Cabrio. Close one

8/10
Mercedes-Benz

V-Class

£48,770 – £59,185

A few niggles aside, this V-Class feels luxurious and worth the outlay. A fine, MPV/business-express.

7/10
Mercedes-Benz

A-Class

£20,500 – £43,215

The A-Class, especially with the enormo-screen option, is a feelgood car. It's solid, quiet and smooth-riding.

7/10
Mercedes-Benz

E-Class Coupe

£38,435 – £65,640

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination

7/10
Mercedes-Benz

AMG A45

£20,500 – £43,215

An immensely fast and capable car to drive. But Golf R remains better to drive.

7/10
Mercedes-Benz

GLA

£24,535 – £52,850

A likeable thing. Go for a higher powertrain and it makes most sense.

6/10
Mercedes-Benz

SL-Class

£77,050 – £116,920

Another brilliant iteration of the classic Mercedes - but the appeal of the looks will take time...

6/10
Mercedes-Benz

SLC

£32,509 – £47,515

Ultimately uninspiring to drive, but works well as an easy-going 24/7 roadster.
