Mercedes-Benz lineup.
In the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the S-Class is the flagship sedan, the G-Wagen the off-road icon, and AMG the performance division. The lineup spans compact crossovers in the mid-$40Ks to six-figure Maybachs, with electric options throughout.
Sedans & coupes.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The baby S-Class: a scaled-down version of the flagship's cabin and tech, with AMG versions that get properly unhinged.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The heart of the brand for decades: newly redesigned with the Superscreen dash, and still the midsize luxury sedan in the lineup. Wagon fans get the rugged All-Terrain version.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The flagship sedan.
Mercedes-Benz CLA
The all-new CLA leads Mercedes' next generation: it launches as a slick electric sedan with big range and 800-volt fast charging, with hybrid gas versions joining the line.
Mercedes-Benz CLE
The two-door that replaced both the C and E coupes: usable, and available as a soft-top cabriolet, suited to desert winters.
SUVs.
Mercedes-Benz GLA
The most affordable Mercedes: a tall hatchback with the three-pointed star and full MBUX tech.
Mercedes-Benz GLB
The boxy value play, with an available third row.
Mercedes-Benz GLC
A core Mercedes-Benz model in America: the right size, the right cabin, and a ladder that climbs from sensible commuter to 671 hp AMG. The sleeker Coupe body is available on most versions.
Mercedes-Benz GLE
The family flagship: spacious, serene, strong towing, and available in everything from mild hybrid to full AMG. The Coupe body style is folded in here too.
Mercedes-Benz GLS
The S-Class of SUVs: three genuine rows, air suspension, and a Maybach version that borders on absurd.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The G-Wagen: a 45-year-old military box that became the ultimate status symbol. Three locking differentials, hand-built V8 option, and resale value that defies gravity.
Electric.
Mercedes-Benz EQE
The electric E-Class equivalent, in sedan and SUV form: quiet, quick, and carrying the same MBUX tech as the gas cars.
Mercedes-Benz EQS
The electric flagship: up to roughly 390 miles of range, the optional 56-inch Hyperscreen dash, and a Maybach SUV version at the top.
Sports cars.
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
AMG's own sports car: a 911 rival with a hand-built engine up front and, at the top, a hybrid system pulled from Formula 1 thinking.

GLC with EQ Technology
The GLC goes fully electric: up to 483 hp, a 94 kWh battery, and over 400 miles of projected range. The GLC 400 4MATIC lands first, with the GLC 300+ following in early 2027.
GLB with EQ Technology
The seven-seat GLB returns as an EV first, with roughly 390 miles of WLTP range, three screens, and two trunks. A hybrid version follows in early 2027.
Questions.
What is the cheapest new Mercedes-Benz?
The GLA250 crossover, typically starting in the mid-$40Ks, with the boxier GLB just above it. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. When a participating dealership lists one on The Model Black, the listing shows your estimated monthly payment with local taxes and fees included, which matters at this price level.
Are Mercedes expensive to maintain?
Plan on it. Unlike BMW, Mercedes does not include complimentary maintenance. Prepaid maintenance plans and CPO coverage are both worth pricing out before you buy.
What is the difference between an AMG and a regular Mercedes?
Two tiers of AMG. The 35, 43, and 53 models are AMG-tuned versions of regular cars with more power and sportier chassis. The 63 models and the AMG GT are the real thing: hand-built engines (one builder per engine, with a signed plaque), bespoke suspensions, and dramatically higher performance and price.
Is a certified pre-owned Mercedes worth it?
Mercedes-Benz CPO adds at least a 1 year / unlimited mile warranty on top of remaining coverage.
Should I lease or buy a Mercedes?
Leasing has real logic here: you stay inside the warranty window, sidestep depreciation risk, and Mercedes-Benz Financial often supports lease payments, especially on the EQ electrics. Buying makes sense if you keep cars long-term. The Model Black shows an estimate of the payment both ways for your ZIP code and credit range.
