I picked up this gem of a car in 2016, as a replacement to my tired XV20 Toyota Camry. Our other options that we were mulling over included the XV30 Camry, 7th gen Honda Accord and BMW E60.

Ambient lighting is a reasonably new feature on Mercedes-Benz models, as the feature was first introduced on selected models starting from 2017. So, what if you have a Mercedes-Benz that isn’t fitted with ambient lighting?No worries as some ingenious seller from China came up with a solution in the form of aftermarket air-conditioning vents with lighting, as well as light strips for the cabin.According to the seller, the air-conditioning vents are available for the W205-generation C-C

If you have visited any Mercedes-Benz dealers recently, you would know that there are hardly any 2020 models on sale. Perplexing because we are already well into the third month of the year.It doesn’t matter if you are buying a locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz C-Class/E-Class/GLC-Class or an imported A-Class. Dealers don’t have any 2020 manufacturing year cars to sell you.Buyers are advised to take one of two options - buy a unit manufactured in 2019 with minimal discounts, or wait un

The current W213 generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class finally gets a much needed update. Although it is still a fairly new model (launched in 2017), the E-Class is one of the weaker links in Mercedes-Benz’s model line-up and conversely, it’s the one model where archrival BMW 5 Series has a clear lead over it.The new updated model will address many of the previous car’s weakness.Avantgarde grille shownThe previous car was criticized for its bland design that’s lacking in
