Mercedes GLA

4.0/5

The Mercedes-Benz GLA was first launched way back in 2013 with the current, second generation car arriving in late 2019. As the most compact SUV in the German brand’s line-up, the original GLA was effectively just a raised A-Class hatchback. The new GLA is taller, roomier and more SUV-like in stature, making it a far more worthy competitor in a crowded field, which includes competition from the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.

Mercedes EQS

4.1/5

Designed to take on the likes of the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, Mercedes' EQS is pretty much the pinnacle of the brand’s electric innovation so far. Dubbed the German outfit’s ‘most high-tech car ever’ when it launched back in 2021, the EQS sits at the top of Mercedes’ EQ range of luxury EVs and offers a more eco-friendly alternative to the long-established S-Class. The car is available in both saloon and SUV body styles and combines cutting-edge luxury and technology with a near-silent driving experience to deliver one of the best all-round packages money can buy. It looks great, offers some of the best battery tech around and is the latest word in a long history of market-leading German engineering.

Mercedes EQA

4.0/5

The Mercedes-Benz EQA combines all of the German brand’s electric know-how in a compact SUV-crossover body-style. It offers a very decent electric driving range, therefore making it a great choice for those considering their first electric car, but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the luxury that a Mercedes is known for. So, it has a tech-laden interior, high levels of style and build quality, whilst remaining comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

Mercedes CLE

4.1/5

Introduced back in 2023, the Mercedes CLE arrived with the pressure of replacing both the C-Class and E-Class Coupés in one swoop. The challenge of bringing together two of the German brand's most stylish and loved two-door offerings was no mean feat but in the CLE, Mercedes may well have achieved just that. With rivals such as the Audi A5, Lexus RC and brilliant BMW 4 Series, the CLE is up against some stiff competition but it more than holds its own with its unique combination of style, comfort and old-school luxury.

Mercedes AMG GT

4.0/5

The AMG GT does a good job of flying under the radar – at least in some respects. While not as extroverted as models such as Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage, which are perhaps its closest rivals, it manages to deliver a unique combination of thunderous V8 power, striking design, and everyday usability – with a choice of sports car or four-door GT bodywork, the former being more out-there than the latter, which is much more subtle way of packing up to 800bhp. Not for everyone, of course, but certainly not a car you’ll forget having driven.

Mazda CX30

4.0/5

In the crowded compact crossover segment it can be incredibly difficult to stand out. With competition from the likes of the Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Roc and Toyota C-HR, many carmakers have decided to chase bold styling or headline-grabbing electrification in a bid to get noticed. Mazda however, sees things a little differently. The Japanese brand has decided that gimmicks are not for them and has instead chosen to carve out a niche at the top end of the market. The resulting car – the CX-30 – was launched back in 2019 and the years since have seen the model develop a strong reputation as one of the best-finished, most premium-feeling cars in its class.
