Production will be discontinued from 2025, and no variant of the A class will be produced from then on, according to sources from the concern. According to Handelsblatt, Mercedes will also suspend production of the B-Class. Both models, as stated, are considered unprofitable in the company.

Thus, whoever wants to buy a Mercedes in the future, will have to reckon that the cheapest model will cost from 40,000 euros onwards. And the class,…

As a reminder, the Mercedes Vision EQXX concept covered 1,008 km in April with a single battery charge, with about 15 percent more capacity.

There waited Mercedes Formula E champion Nyck de Vries who drove the car 11 laps on the track until the battery ran out. After a…

The Lada Granta in the Classic edition is devoid of the shackles of electronics, and its engine emits exhaust gases into the atmosphere as it did a quarter of a century ago.

This Porsche Boxster is ‘under the skin’ in fact Toyota MR-S The prices of sports cars have risen in the last few years, so it is becoming increasingly difficult for many enthusiasts to get one. A cheaper solution for some is a replica, and this Toyota MR-S "dressed" in a Porsche Boxster is a really worthy candidate. On the Kaidee Auto ad, the replica really leaves a good impression of a German sports car for much less money than the original. Both the front and rear grilles have been changed to give the impression of a Porsche. The front bumper is a bit different from the real 986 Boxster and is more in the style of the newer generation 718.…

An international expert panel at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has agreed to increase the maximum speed for self-driving cars in certain situations. According to that decision, the speed limit for autonomous vehicles will be raised from 60 km / h to 130 km / h. Changing the tape would also be allowed.
