Here’s everything Mercedes is doing in 2025 and beyond

Car changing is a big deal
It’s been a busy year for Mercedes, with the brand releasing plenty of new and updated models in 2024. Let’s take a look ahead to what we can expect in 2025…
Last year was a busy one for Mercedes. It brought us the first ever all-electric G-Wagon, the 816hp hybrid AMG GT and the super-luxurious Maybach SL.
And there’s plenty more to come in 2025 as well. The CLA is being replaced with an electric model, the production version of the AMG Purespeed will make its debut and the AMG division may unveil its first bespoke EV since the ultra-rare SLS Electric Drive.
New Mercedes G-Wagon Edition Stronger Than The 1980s
Yes, that really is its name. This is a limited-edition version of the G-Class which has been designed to look even more retro than the standard car. The non-metallic paint and amber indicators make it look properly 80s, and the dinky five-spoke alloys make it appear more rugged.
There are more classic touches inside as well, with plaid cloth seats and some unique trim to help it stand out. Just 460 of these cars will ever be made, and you’ll have to part with £153,000 to get your hands on one.
New Mercedes CLA
This is the new Mercedes CLA, the third iteration of the brand’s smallest saloon car. It’s the first time this car hasn’t been based on the A-Class hatchback, and it’s also the first time it’s been offered as an EV.
It gets a new type of battery from Mercedes which provides close to 500 miles of range, making it the longest-range electric car available in the UK. The new CLA EV will go on sale later this year, and a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid will be available at a later date.
New Mercedes-AMG Purespeed
Mercedes-AMG will be revealing the production version of its bonkers Purespeed concept car this year. It’s loosely based on the SL, however it uses some clever tech from Formula 1. The most obvious is the halo roll bar over the cabin, which certainly looks cool.
Powering this mad-looking car is a V8 engine of some description. Mercedes won’t say exactly which one, but it would be a safe bet to assume that it’ll be a variation of the twin-turbocharged unit found in the SL.
New Mercedes GLC EV
The Mercedes EQC will be getting replaced soon with the new GLC EV, and we’ve spotted this electric SUV out and about during development testing. This Audi Q6 e-tron alternative will use all-new battery and motor tech which will almost certainly be lifted from the CLA.
This means it could get well over 400 miles of range, a big improvement over the slightly underwhelming EQC which it replaces. A full reveal is expected later this year, with the car going on sale in 2026.
New Mercedes-AMG 4-Door EV
Meanwhile over at AMG, a new high-performance EV is also on the way in 2025. This will be the first AMG-exclusive electric car since the SLS Electric Drive from 2013, and it’s likely to replace the current AMG-GT 4-door.
That’s quite a set of tyres to fill, because that car has a monstrous 843hp and 1,400Nm of torque. Mercedes is keeping tight-lipped about figures for this car, but it’ll be based on an all-new collection of parts which is likely to be more powerful than the current AMG GT 4-Door.
New Mercedes GLB
This is the new Mercedes GLB, another SUV which will almost certainly share parts with the CLA. This means the electric EQB is likely to have over 400 miles of range, and a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid is also on the cards.
Carwow’s spy photographers have spotted this car during development testing, and it looks like it’ll get similar boxy styling to the current one. You can expect the GLB to debut at the end of the year with sales likely to start in 2026.
New Mercedes Vision V
The Mercedes Vision V is a here to prove that you don’t need a limousine if you want to be chauffeured in ultimate comfort. It has acres of space in the rear, super comfortable seats and even a massive 65-inch cinema screen in the back.
It’s just a show car for now, but it gives you a taste of what future Mercedes luxury MPVs will look like. You can play video games, watch movies or learn about your surroundings using augmented reality in the back of this thing, and the exterior design is striking enough to catch the eye of any passing paparazzi.
