The best new Mercedes-Benz models coming by 2025: all you need to know

Car changing is a big deal
Mercedes has been hard at work this year releasing new cars, and there’s no sign of things slowing down in 2025. Here’s a taste of what you can expect over the next year or so.
We’ve seen a lot of new cars from Mercedes in 2024, including the first ever all-electric G Wagon and the AMG GT 63 S E-Performance. There’s still plenty to come in 2025 as well, and it looks like the focus will shift to electric cars.
New Mercedes models from 2024
With 2024 quickly drawing to a close, let’s take a look back at what Mercedes has launched this year.

New electric Mercedes G-Class G580
After years of promising an all electric G Wagon, Mercedes finally delivered it this year with the new G580. It retains the boxy retro styling of the petrol-powered car, albeit with a couple of subtle aerodynamic tweaks, but there have been substantial changes under the skin.
It still has an old-school ladder frame chassis, but integrated into it is a 116kWh battery which can deliver up to 296 miles of range. For added protection when off-roading over jagged rocks, the pack is encased in a 4mm-thick steel casing.
Another feature unique to the electric G-Class is G-turn, which can turn the wheels on one side in the opposite direction to the other – making the car do a full 360-degree turn in its own length. It only works off-road, but it’s still something a petrol-powered car can’t do.
New Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance
The standard Mercedes-AMG GT was first unveiled back in 2023, but this year saw the launch of the hybridised E-Performance model. It still uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, however it has an electric motor for some added power.
How much added power? Well this car has a mighty 816hp and 1,420Nm of torque – over 230hp more than the standard AMG GT 63 S. This means 0-60mph is dealt with in 2.8 seconds, exactly the same as a Porsche 911 Turbo S.
You’ll be hard pushed to tell that this car is packing so much extra power based on the looks, because the design is exactly the same as the standard car. You just get some red highlights around the badges to differentiate the E-Performance.
New Mercedes-Maybach SL
If the standard Mercedes SL convertible isn’t quite opulent enough for you, may we introduce you to the Maybach version? It may have the same 585hp V8 engine as the standard car, but it’s been glammed up with plenty of luxury touches.
Up front you’ll find Maybach’s signature chrome grille, which looks a lot more imposing than the standard Mercedes item. The rear deck has also been extended into the space which usually occupies the rear seats – making this car a strict two-seater.
While the interior layout will be familiar to SL owners, the materials used are on another level of luxury compared to that car. Every visible surface is covered in fine Nappa leather, and you can even get a matching leather jacket.
New Mercedes models coming in 2025
That’s a look back at 2024, now let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to before the end of 2025.

- New Mercedes Concept CLA
- New Mercedes EQC
- New Mercedes-AMG 4-Door EV
New Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed
This is a new limited edition Roadster from Mercedes – the Concept AMG PureSpeed. It’s an open-top supercar which uses similar underpinnings to the SL, however it also has some added tech from Formula One.
The exterior styling is heavily revised over the standard SL, with a front end design which is heavily inspired by the AMG ONE. The most notable design change though is the F1-style halo over the passenger compartment, something which eliminates the need for an A-pillar.
Powering this bonkers-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 585hp twin-turbocharged unit sound in the SL.
New Mercedes Concept CLA
Mercedes is also gearing up to launch an alternative to the Tesla Model 3, and the new Concept CLA gives you an idea of what it’ll look like. It also previews a whole load of new technology which we’ll see on other Mercedes EVs in the future.
One of the most important developments is a new type of silicone-oxide battery which is more energy dense, meaning you can get more range from a smaller pack. The Concept CLA has up to 466 miles of range, which isn’t far off the current flagship EQS.
A production version of the new CLA has been spotted testing, and you can expect it to make its debut in 2025. This collection of parts will also be used in a shooting brake model, as well as two SUVs.
New Mercedes EQC
One of those SUVs could be this – the new Mercedes EQC. This Audi Q6 e-tron alternative has been spotted testing a few times now, and it looks as though it’ll have a similar, pebble-shaped design to the larger EQE SUV.
You can expect to see the same clever battery tech on board as the Concept CLA, which means over 400 miles of range should be easily achievable. It could also use an 800-volt electrical system for super-fast charging speeds.
A full reveal of the new EQC is expected in 2025, with sales possibly starting towards the end of the year. It’s a bit too soon to put a price on it yet, but expect a figure north of £80,000.
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.
You’ll have to wait until 2025 to find out for sure, and the design won’t be revealed until next year either. You can tell from these camouflaged teasers that it’ll share a similar shape to the current car though.
