The best new Mercedes models coming in 2025 and beyond
December 19, 2024 by Jamie Edkins
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…
Mercedes has had an exciting 2024. The last year has brought us the first ever all-electric G Wagon, the 816hp hybrid AMG GT and the super-luxurious Maybach SL.
And things are showing no signs of slowing down as we head into 2025, so we’re going to take a look at the new cars you can expect from Mercedes over the next year or so.
Mercedes 2024 lookback
Before we break out our crystal ball, let’s have a look at all of the cars Mercedes has launched over the past 12 months.

- New Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance
- New Mercedes-Maybach SL

New electric Mercedes G-Class G580
Mercedes has been promising an all-electric G Wagon for years now, and in 2024 it finally delivered. The G580 retains the boxy dimensions of the internal combustion-engined car, however there are some design tweaks and substantial changes under the skin.
Like the standard car, the electric G580 has an old-school ladder frame chassis. However, integrated into it is a massive 116kWh battery pack which can deliver up to 296 miles of range. It’s also protected by a 4mm-tick steel plate to keep it safe from pointy boulders when you’re off roading.
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.
Jump to:
- New Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed
- 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 CLA
The slinky Mercedes CLA is due for replacement in 2025, and this alternative to the Audi A3 Saloon will be available as both an electric car and as a hybrid. We’ve already had a sneak peak at the exterior design, and Mercedes has dropped a few hints about the battery tech.
It says the CLA will have an estimated 466 miles of range thanks to some technology borrowed from the ultra-efficient Mercedes EQXX prototype. You can expect to see the same 100kWh battery as that car.
Not much is known about the hybrid model, other than the fact it’ll be a 48-volt system – meaning it will probably only be able to drive on electric power alone at a crawl. An all-new infotainment system is also debuting on this car, a variation of the Superscreen we first saw on the latest E-Class.
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.
