What’s New: 2024 Mercedes-Benz Models Overview

Mercedes-Benz is a well-known car manufacturer from Germany, producing premium cars, SUVs, and commercial vans. This company does not stand still and tries to release new models that can satisfy all the needs of motorists. In the new 2024 year, Mercedes will release several new products at once. Among the most high-profile premieres are:

• CLA;
• Maybach S-Class;
• GLC;
• AMG GT;
• GLB;
• GLE;
• GLA.

Today, we prepared an overview of these models to reveal the upcoming model range updates and help you decide whether to sell your pre-owned Mercedes-Benz before it depreciates.

Mercedes annually releases new car models with gasoline engines. Next year, they plan to replenish the model range with five new products.

US buyers met the first models of the Mercedes-Benz CLA series with mixed reactions. The car turned out to be too unfinished. People often complained about low-quality materials in the cabin, incorrect operation of the brake system, and an inconvenient gearbox. Seeing that sales of the new product began to fall, Mercedes decided to modify the car.

An improved version saw the light of day in 2023. The new vehicle boasts a stylish design and support for all modern technologies. Now, it has the latest navigation systems, cruise control, and other electronic assistants common for premium cars.

The CLA boasts good technical characteristics. The car is equipped with a modified automatic transmission. It has seven driving modes and a dual-clutch. The transmission works much smoother than in older Mercedes-Benz CLA models.

In 2023, Mercedes Benz introduced the Maybach S-Class, made for those who want to buy a truly reliable car. 

The Maybach S-Class is equipped with modern tracking sensors. They analyze the situation on the road and help in driving. Also, several sensors inside the cabin monitor the movements of the driver and passengers. The car also can boast a high-performance six-cylinder petrol engine. Its power is 330 hp. It is planned that the new Maybach S-Class will use hybrid engines. Such Maybach S-Class models should go on sale in 2024.

The first Mercedes-Benz GLC models were released quite a long time ago - back in 2008. Over the years, the car has been regularly improved and refined. The latest generation GLC bears little resemblance to older models. The modern Benz GLC has an improved control system, increased safety, and updated functionality.

Among the features of the new GLC vehicles, it is worth highlighting the modified body with significantly increased cross-country ability. Improvements also include the MBUX digital complex that allows you to control all car systems using gestures or voice. This is the latest technology found only in new products from Mercedes. 

The AMG GT is a premium car produced for sports car lovers. The Mercedes-Benz AMD GT is equipped with an impressive lifting spoiler and a high rear bumper. There is a glass hatch on the roof, which you can open if necessary. Externally, the car resembles an older model – AMG GT 63.

The interior of the AMG GT is also quite good. Under the hood of this car, there is a powerful engine of about 4 liters with an automatic transmission with nine gears. The total engine power is 800 hp - much more than most  Mercedes cars can boast. Thanks to such a powerful engine, the AMG GT accelerates to 60 mph almost instantly - just 3.1 seconds - with a maximum speed of 196 mph. Therefore, the AMG GT is ideal for those who like to drive fast.

The new Mercedes product - the GLB Series - has received a modified body with well-thought-out proportions and unique relief lines that give the car elegance. 

The technical characteristics of the car may vary depending on its version. But the most popular option in the US has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 221 hp and 258 lb-feet of torque.

Regardless of the engine installed, the GLB handles well, both in urban conditions and off-road. The new Mercedes GLB auto corners smoothly and maneuvers well. A small turning radius makes it convenient to drive around at intersections or narrow streets.

Currently, electric cars have become especially popular. Therefore, the latest Mercedes models of 2023 most often belong to this category. Initially, Mercedes has opted not to sell any of its electric models based on ICE vehicles in the US. However, several electric Mercedes-Benz cars may soon be available.

The EQC is one of the most popular electric crossovers released by Mercedes in 2023, but the new EQC for American consumers will arrive only after 2025.

Since the EQC is classified as a crossover, it has rather large dimensions. For example, the length of the car is 15 ft 8 in, and the height is 5 ft 4 in. At the same time, the ground clearance is also quite high – about 6 in.

The EQC boasts not only a stylish design but also good technical characteristics. This Benz  vehicle is equipped with an asynchronous electric motor with six batteries. It has a built-in cooling system and does not overheat even after prolonged use.

The total power of the electric engine is about 400 hp. This allows you to accelerate to 60mph in just 4.9 seconds.

The Mercedes Benz EQV is the pure-electric V-Class model, available in the United States under the Metris nameplate. This is a compact minivan, ideal for long trips. 

The main feature of the van is that it is environmentally friendly thanks to its 200-hp electric motor. It is connected to a battery located on the bottom of the car. Its power is 90 kW/h, enough for a 3-4 hour trip.

The latest Mercedes Benz models include the GLE series. This car has not yet gone on sale. However, despite this, we already know a lot of interesting information about it.

The main changes will affect the front of the car. Like the last-generation S-Class, the GLE will have a high front bumper with a large grille. At the same time, the head optics have become much thinner.

The interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is not much different from previous models in the series. The only distinguishing feature is the presence of a multifunction steering wheel. The GLE also features an advanced MBUX multimedia system.

The model is equipped with a two-liter turbo-petrol engine and an electric motor with a total power of 320 hp - a good indicator for such a car. 

The GLA Hybrid is one of the latest Mercedes models, introduced in 2023. When developing this car, the company's designers tried to make the new product similar to A-class vehicles. This SUV, like previous models, is equipped with a hybrid powertrain. Other similarities include a stylish luxury interior with a comfortable multifunction steering wheel and leather seats.

A characteristic feature of the 2024 GLA Hybrid is that its electric motor is coupled to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 221 hp. 

The new release is always bad news for the owners of previous generations, as they depreciate fast, and it is time to sell them out. But for those looking for used Mercedes models, the chances are high to find an attractive option in just-like-new condition.
