Let’s face it: It’s tough to be a wagon enthusiast in 2025. Even with a few European automakers still playing in the space, the number of long-roof options has dwindled to just a few, especially if you want something big enough to haul the whole family. And if you find yourself needing the ground clearance afforded by modern SUVs, it might seem easiest to just succumb to the trend.  

With the Mercedes-Benz E 450 4MATIC® All-Terrain, you can get the best of both worlds and look good doing it. But as the folks over at…

MotorTrend currently has three “of the year” awards. One is the traditional Car of the Year Award, there is another for SUVs, and the third is for trucks. The contenders for Truck of the Year are usually…well…trucks of the full-size and mid-size variety. There was plenty to choose from this year, with a new Toyota Tacoma and new Ram 1500, and this was the first year that the Cybertruck and Rivian trucks were in the mix. But among all those open beds stood two anomalies: the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 2500…

One close look at a Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 car and it can be difficult to see how such a specialized vehicle can have any relationship to any model found in the Mercedes-Benz of Plano showroom. After all, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are expected to carry multiple people in not just comfort but luxury. They must be efficient, safe, and operable without any special training, and they must enable the driver to have confidence in a wide variety of conditions. The F1 program, on the other hand, will spend millions upon millions just to shave a fraction of a second off a…

When looking at Mercedes-Benz’s impressively sleek EV sedans, one might think the last vehicle in its lineup to go EV would be the G-Class. That is because the G-Wagen, as it is also known, stands in contrast not only to the electrically driven EQ models but all other Mercedes-Benz models in being defiantly upright, squared-off, and overtly non-aerodynamic. It is also known for its big gas and sometimes diesel powertrains.  

However, Mercedes-Benz saw the potential of an EV drivetrain aiding the off-road abilities for which the G-Wagen is known and took the plunge…

The beginning of the year is awards season in the automotive industry. Arguably, the most prestigious award, Motor Trend’s 2025 Car of the Year, has already gone to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. As of this writing, automotive enthusiasts website Motor Authority has not made their final choice yet for their Best Car To Buy award, but they have narrowed it down to six finalists, and Mercedes-Benz of Plano is proud to tell you that two of the six come from Mercedes-Benz.  

When you are looking at a large family SUV, you certainly have choices. One of them is the BMW X7. It will accommodate up to seven occupants and swallow a lot of luggage for long trips. And it will do so with the level of luxury you expect from a BMW. 

However, there is another way to travel in three rows of luxury with precise German engineering and signature touches, from a familiar badge to the finest technology available at your fingertips.  

The 2025 Mecedes-Benz GLS.  

Why choose the GLS over the X7? 

If you want a smaller, efficient SUV, you have plenty of choices. Mercedes-Benz offers two: the GLB and GLC. As two of the better-selling SUVs in the lineup, both the GLB and GLC offer plenty of everything for those not looking to go bigger. They are right-sized for families just starting out on their own. They also provide plenty of practicality, technology, engineering, safety, and the level of luxury expected in a Mercedes-Benz. 

If it were your money, which one would you choose?... 

It was a delightful surprise, given the competitive nature of the most coveted award in the automotive industry. Of course, we feel that MotorTrend chose the right winner this year. This is why we happily announce the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is MotorTrend’s 2025 Car of The Year Award.  

MotorTrend carefully selects a field of new and significantly updated vehicles to compete for its coveted "Golden Calipers" each year. This year, the field was 14 such vehicles. An expert team of editors and guest judges thoroughly evaluates every contender based on six key criteria: safety, value...
