Good design, great performance, unique shape, a great ride, etc. Boring cars that a normal person

Rendered: 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 – Ageing Mercedes needs an urgent update

Based on photographs of a camouflaged 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206,we decided to have a go at peeling back the camo digitally.

The original Baby Benz – The history of the Mercedes-Benz W201

When the Mercedes-Benz W201 made its debut in December 1982, its looks were far from unique. However, the entry-level model that slotted below the E-Class, S-Class, and SL-Class in Mercedes-Benz’s line-up has become a truly sought-after model and a symbol for the German brand’s future endeavour. The timeless shape and design were penned by Bruno Sacco. Its sharp lines were reminiscent of its siblings, giving it a very distinct, Teutonic Mercedes-Benz look. This W201 was also known as the Baby Be

Mercedes-Benz MBUX is the best out there, but..

Mercedes-Benz User Experience, or MBUX for short, is the company’s latest and greatest infotainment to date. How so? For starters, you can speak to the infotainment system, issuing commands like “Hey Mercedes, I’m feeling warm” and the car would then lower the air-conditioning temperature. All these can be done without the driver touching the air-conditioning controls. This is made possible by Linguatronic, Mercedes-Benz’s own ‘Siri’ voice command system.

Mercedes-Benz CLA handles worse than a Kia Picanto?

The moose test is an evasive maneuver test done to evaluate how well a vehicle performs when evading an obstacle on the road. It is a test of the car’s handling balance and stability control. The term was coined after Swedish car magazine Teknikens Varld flipped over a first-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class in a test to measure the car’s ability to avoid hitting a moose, which is a common sight in Sweden. Funny that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class was mentioned, because the latest generation Mercedes-Benz CL
