The new G-Class Cabriolet has started its early testing phase&nbsp;in Austria as engineers collect detailed performance data to ensure it&nbsp;offers a true G-Class feel, even with the roof down. Mercedes confirms that the prototype will also undergo rigorous cold-weather testing. To jog your memory, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Convertible was teased in September, suggesting familiar styling cues. The biggest update, however, is the switch from a conventional&nbsp;hard top to a retractable soft-top roof.<br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

Mercedes-Benz G-Class Cabriolet Prototype Teased Ahead of Debut With Retractable Soft-Top

The new G-Class Cabriolet has started its early testing phase in Austria. Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that the off-roader's cold-weather trials are set to take place later in Sweden.

<p>
    It’s rare for a car to win the coveted ‘Best of’ award by being understated, yet the Mercedes-Benz E450 does exactly that – an absolute masterclass in sleeper performance. At first glance, it seems like a standard E-Class – elegant and comfortable – and as our first drive review noted, its AMG Line cues are so subtle that if you blink, you might miss them. The 18-inch AMG wheels look small and uninspiring. This car doesn’t shout; it whispers. There are no aggressive wings or carbon-fibre splitters. And then you see it in action on the track – it clocked a lap time of 1:10.1 at the BIC. That’s not just fast – that’s staggering. This lap time is a testament to its chassis engineering, considering this is a long-wheelbase luxury sedan, not a lightweight sports car. In fact, it’s faster than many dedicated sports coupes and hot EVs. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/mercedes-benz-e450-vs-bmw-530li-lwb-the-long-game-of-luxury-sedans-autox-121611/">Mercedes-Benz E450 vs BMW 530Li LWB | The Long Game of Luxury Sedans | autoX</a></p>

<p>The secret lies in the ‘450’ badge. Beneath the unassuming exterior sits a formidable 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged engine. Paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, it produces 381bhp and 500Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0 – 100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. It’s a big, heavy car, but the way it masks all that mass when you floor the throttle is mesmerising. Power delivery is smooth and assured, climbing beautifully up the rev range. While it does feel slightly more front-heavy than the four-cylinder E200, the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system manages the power with such competence that it remains balanced. It’s not only quick in a straight line but also tackles corners with unexpected poise, only showing its limits if you attempt an aggressive, high-speed direction change.</p>

<p>But performance alone didn’t seal the E450’s victory. It’s a ‘Best of 2025’ winner because it’s a complete package, one that refuses to compromise. It offers AMG-level excitement for the driver—fronted by the full MBUX Hyperscreen and a 4D Burmester sound system—while spoiling rear passengers with indulgent comfort. This is, after all, a long-wheelbase cabin with reclining seats, electronic sunblinds, and S-Class-like legroom. The hydro-pneumatic Airmatic suspension is the heart of its dual nature. This system is the true enabler, providing a cushioning effect over potholes that no rival can match, while simultaneously preventing the body roll that would otherwise plague a car of this size on a fast lap. The result? You come out grinning after every drive.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2025-mercedes-benz-e-class-450-first-drive-review-120958/">2025 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 450 First Drive Review</a></p>

<p>The E450 is built for the evolved Indian market – a car that proves that you don’t have to completely sacrifice S-Class-like comfort for AMG performance. It’s the ultimate sleeper – it knows that real speed doesn’t shout; it simply moves. It might just be the most complete, desirable, and effortlessly impressive car of 2025.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB Wins Car of the Year - autoX Awards 2025

The Mercedes-Benz E450 effortlessly fuses supreme luxury with jaw-dropping performance. It’s this breathtaking duality that left the jury unanimous in its praise.

<p>
As longtime readers of the magazine will know, I’ve been an unabashed G-Wagon fan for decades. The G is one of those perplexing machines that don’t really make any sense, but at the same time, they are the best choices you can make. Why, after all, would anyone need a twin-turbo V8 engine in a car that was designed to go off-road and has three differential locks to make sure that it can tackle any terrain? Or why would anyone need side-exit exhausts that make an absolutely beautiful racket when you rev the car?</p><p>And yet, that’s exactly what makes the G so special. The mechanical feel, the sheer solidity of its construction – well, it’s all intoxicating, really. Take the doors, for instance. As our instructor at the G Experience centre joked, ‘You can’t slam a G-Wagon’s door too hard – you simply need to use your strength to close it.’ When it shuts, with a solid sound of the central locking, it feels like you’ve sealed a vault full of precious jewels.</p>

      
    
      
    


<h2>A Glimpse into History</h2>

<p>Before participating in the G-Class experience, we toured the assembly line that’s been manufacturing every single G-Wagon since 1979. In fact, the G is exclusively built by Magna for Mercedes at the Graz plant – the only facility in the world to do so from day one.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-4-1760510668271.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-4.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>And we witnessed the whole plant and the processes through which a G-Wagon is built. Watching all of it in motion was fascinating.  From various exterior colours to different interior trims, each G-Wagon feels like it’s made to a personal brief rather than a production quota. The pride that Graz takes in being home to the production of the G-Wagon is palpable – locals even boast about custom-built versions, like the ‘Popemobile’ based on the G580 electric, which was created for Pope Francis.</p>

      
    
      
    


<h2>Proof is in the Pudding</h2>

<p>But the real magic began at the G-Class Experience Centre, tucked away in a corner of Graz Airport. It’s here that the G’s mettle can be tested across an array of brutal challenges. Before we hit the course, though, we were greeted by an extraordinary sight – the original 1979 G-Wagon encased in the world’s largest single piece of amber. Created for the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, it weighs a mind-boggling 44 tonnes – a fitting tribute to a machine that has become a legend in its own right.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-7-1760510807137.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-7.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>After a quick briefing, it was time to get serious and drive the G through challenging conditions and see how it fares. Behind the wheel of the G 500 and G 450d, we tackled the articulation course first. With the centre differential locked, the G simply drove through obstacles with ease. Next came the side-incline test. We tilted the G up to a dizzying 36 degrees, the maximum Mercedes claims it can handle under standard test conditions. And yes, it felt every bit as dramatic as it sounds.</p>

      
    
      
    


<h2>Flooded Roads?</h2>

<p>The next driving challenge was perhaps the most relatable one for Indian conditions – deep-water wading. It effectively mimicked the monsoon chaos that we witness every year in cities like Delhi, Gurugram, and Mumbai. We drove through 700mm of standing water, which effectively demonstrated how the G-Wagon might just be the perfect car for anyone living on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road. Despite the water level, all we had to do was slot the G in gear – it simply glided through the water as if it were a puddle.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-6-1760510791727.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-6.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>After the off-roading and water wading, things got a bit more interesting and challenging. We switched to the G580 EV and attempted some serious climbs and drops that were designed to showcase the its off-road capabilities. We began with a climb on an 80% incline, which the G handled effortlessly, except for some traction and slippage issues caused by the rubber deposits left by other cars. I took another run at it, and this time, I managed to get it to climb the incline without any issue. Immediately after came a 70% descent – nearly vertical – and though it looked terrifying, the G’s hill descent system handled it immaculately.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-8-1760510813039.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-8.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    
      
    From there, we switched to the G63 AMG and experienced its dynamic capabilities on a stretch of the airport’s tarmac. We tested its acceleration, braking, and even performed the Elk Test manoeuvre. It was a thrilling experience to push such a large, heavy machine to its limits and see how it behaves. Add to all this the V8’s amazing exhaust note, and it was pure mechanical theatre.</p>

      
    
      
    


      
    
      
    


<h2>Reality Check</h2>

<p>While we couldn’t tackle the legendary Schöckl Mountain course this time, it was still an amazing experience. In fact, the G-Class Experience Centre has plenty to offer for both customers and enthusiasts. From the off-road course to the G-Class EV experience and the dynamic section with the G63 AMG, there was no shortage of adrenaline. But just when we thought the day was done, the team at the G Experience Centre had a surprise in store – a ride with one of their instructors across the entire course.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-10-1760510830958.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-10.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>Now, since all the instructors have a racing background, we should’ve known what was coming. Still, nothing could have prepared us for what followed. Our instructor took the same course we’d spent all day carefully crawling through – water wading, inclines, descents, and the dynamic section – and drove it like a full-blown rally car. He blasted through water wading sections at nearly 100km/h, flew up and down inclines we had tiptoed over at 6km/h, and even drifted the G-Wagon through the tarmac section while taking U-turns, casually chatting the entire time. He did it all and in style!</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-Experience-2-1760510650682.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz G-Class Experience-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>After spending the day feeling rather proud of my on- and off-road driving skills, that ride was a brutal, and hilarious, reality check. Still, getting to drive one my favourite cars, experience its full range of abilities, and live the G-Wagon life – even for a day – was an experience that I will never forget. And given the chance, I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

<p>Mercedes-Benz India has reported its highest quarterly sales in September 2025, delivering 5,119 units in the second quarter of the fiscal year. This marks a 36 per cent growth over the same period last year. A significant part of this performance came during the Navratri festival, when the brand sold around 2,500 units in just nine days, its best-ever result for the period. The GST 2.0 reforms, introduced on 22 September, also played a inportant role in this surge by reducing taxes on luxury cars by about six percent, lowering prices and encouraging purchases during a high-demand festive window.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/audi-q7-mercedes-benz-e-class-more-5-luxury-cars-with-price-cuts-post-gst-slash-121785/">Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz E-Class &amp; More: 5 Luxury Cars With Price Cuts Post GST Slash</a></p><p>By offsetting earlier price increases caused by currency fluctuations and rising costs, the new tax structure created a clear incentive for buyers.

The LWB E-Class was the highest-selling luxury model for the month, underlining its position in the portfolio. This mix between higher-margin flagship cars and core models helped secure the overall sales success.</p><p>

Mercedes-Benz India Sets New Sales Record in Q2 FY2025, Driven by GST Boost and Festive Demand

Mercedes-Benz India posts record September sales with 36 per cent growth, driven by Navratri demand and GST 2.0 tax cut, marking its best quarterly performance ever.

<p>A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 once owned by Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna will go under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s London auction in November. The car holds significant historical value for motorsport followers, marking an important moment in the Brazilian driver’s early career. Senna took delivery of the sedan in October 1985, shortly after impressing at the 1984 Nürburgring Race of Champions, where he drove a similar 190 E to victory against established world champions. His example was finished in Smoke Silver Metallic with a black leather interior, remaining in factory specification to this day.</p>

<p>Senna collected the car directly from Mercedes-Benz in Germany, joined by fellow Brazilian racer Mauricio Gugelmin. The pair drove it across Europe to Senna’s residence in Esher, Surrey, where it was registered in the UK with all duties cleared. Senna used the vehicle regularly as his daily driver, covering around 41,000km over nearly two years before parting with it in 1987. That same year he signed with McLaren, moved to Monaco, and began the next stage of his Formula 1 journey.</p>
<h2>1985 Mercedes-Benz 190 E: Technical Details</h2>
<p>The 190 E 2.3-16 represented a high-performance version of the Mercedes W201. It carried a 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine tuned for greater output, supported by a limited-slip differential and suspension upgrades aimed at sharper handling. Competing directly with the BMW M3, the car was well regarded among enthusiasts of the era. The example offered at auction retains its original specification and comes with service documentation from the period of Senna’s ownership.
</p>

<p>After Senna sold it, the car was exported to Australia, where its air-conditioning system was disconnected to meet import rules. Unlike many collectors’ cars, it continued to be used on the road, with the odometer now showing more than 154,000 miles (2,47,838km).</p>

<p>With direct ties to Ayrton Senna, its racing heritage, and a documented history, this Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 is regarded as a rare opportunity for collectors. Its upcoming appearance at RM Sotheby’s London auction will appeal to Formula 1 fans and classic car buyers alike.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/WRCPAST/status/1961764954215797017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1961764954215797017%7Ctwgr%5E5fd508cb33236b777e9979e0b0fbd845ae165a68%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorsport.com%2Ff1%2Fnews%2F1985-mercedes-benz-190-e-first-bought-by-ayrton-senna-set-for-auction-at-220k-250k%2F10761764%2F">Source</a></p>
