Giancarlo Perlas March 2, 2023

Mercedes-Benz and Moncler are two distinct brands belonging to different niches. One is an automaker and the other is a maker of fashionable puffer jackets. So, here’s what happens when the two collaborate on a project involving the G-Class. The result of the partnership between the two is the bubbly G-Wagen they call the “Mondo G”. At a glance, the SUV looks like it’s something that just came out of an 80s or 90s sci-fi film, which shows their vision of the future back then. Its preview likens it to a lunar rover, too. Mondo G features the SUV wrapped in a shiny, metallic, oversized puffer jacket complete with a… Continue Reading »

Mercedes CEO Thinks There’s Demand For A Baby G-Class

Giancarlo Perlas February 22, 2023

It’s been a decade since Mercedes-Benz previewed its Ener-G-Force concept, which was geared to be the blueprint of a future G-Class model. Some expected it to be a more compact, more environment-friendly, and electrified version of the iconic SUV. Fast-forward to the present, this may be an opportune time to create the production version of the unit. What we got though was the GLB. While the GLB does share the same proportions as the G-Class, it’s hard to see any other relation between the two. It turns out that all hope is not lost for the baby G-Class yet. Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius revealed that he is pushing for a… Continue Reading »

Vehicle tuning is a free for all affair as long as you have the money for the project and the courage to face what your auto has become in the end. However, as the saying goes, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” The latest render for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class made by automotive artist 412donklife on Instagram dubbed as the “Candy Cigar” Mercedes-Benz Brabus G900 just so happens to give us an idea of the results when one gets overzealous in customizing the SUV. Sure, the G-Wagen is one of the most popular creations of the three-pointed star marque that’s just begging to be tuned for some people. However,… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX Concept First Drive Review: Sampling the Future

Giancarlo Perlas September 4, 2022

After launching some of the best luxury EVs in the market like the EQS and EQE, the EV division at Mercedes-Benz has set its sights on creating the most efficient and aerodynamic EV with the Vision EQXX concept. Unlike its other offerings, the EQXX concept will be the future of all EV offerings by the brand.

Facelifted 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQA Unveiled in Digital Rendering

Giancarlo Perlas July 21, 2022

The Mercedes-Benz EQA crossover only made its debut in January last year but new spy shots already reveal that it is due for a facelift. Our suspicion was fueled by a version of the EV in the stolen shots with its fascia partially camouflaged. Normally, vehicles being officially test-driven with parts concealed by wraps indicate major updates coming their way, specifically on the covered areas. This is quite strange for the EQA because it is relatively new in the lineup of Mercedes. However, we believe that the minor redesign is a way for its maker to synchronize its styling with the new and incoming EVs under the EQ range. Taking… Continue Reading »

The days of the internal combustion engine are numbered. Even Mercedes-AMG, a brand known for its prowess in high-performance engines, is shifting towards an all-electrified future. The unveiling of the Mercedes Vision AMG concept car is signaling the things to come in the three-pointed star marque going to 2025.
