Every Mercedes coming soon
Recently, Cadbury announced that due to supply shortages, Twirl Mini Bites would not find their way into many British homes this Christmas. Similarly, the shortage of semiconductor chips used in cars has resulted in several new Mercedes models that were due in 2022 being held back until spring 2023 at the earliest.
Consequently, there might be a bit of something for everyone from the manufacturer over the next few months, with saloon cars, MPVs, SUVs, performance cars and an electric luxury off-roader all waiting in the wings.
So, what has the German car maker got planned, and will it be worth the wait? Here we list all the new Mercedes models we're expecting between now and 2024.

Mercedes EQS SUV
On sale: Early 2023 | Price from: £129,170
The upcoming Mercedes EQS SUV is the Big (environmentally) Friendly Giant of the Mercedes-EQ range. You see, it’s the electric equivalent of the similarly vast – but rather thirsty – Mercedes GLS.
As the name suggests, the model is based on the Mercedes EQS saloon, and aims to bring that car’s impressive range of features to a more family-friendly package, with a larger boot and seven seats. It has the same enormous 108kWh battery, for an official range of up to 410 miles in entry-level 450+ form. Even the four-wheel-drive 450 model can manage 380 miles, which is similar to the BMW iX and ahead of any Audi Q8 e-tron. If you value power over range, there'll be a 580 model with 536bhp.
Mercedes EQE SUV
On sale: Spring 2023 | Price from: £83,000 (est)
Following the EQS SUV into showrooms is the Mercedes EQE SUV – a larger counterpart based on the saloon with which it shares part of its name, the Mercedes EQE. It will have many of the same features as that car, and be available in a variety of power outputs, all of which officially manage more than 300 miles of range, and are fed by a 90kWh battery pack.
As standard, the EQE SUV has a huge 17.7in infotainment screen, paired with a 12.3in digital instrument cluster. A third 12.3in screen for the front passengers is available as an option.
Mercedes T-Class/Mercedes EQT
On sale: Spring 2023 | Price from: £32,000 (est)
For the more budget conscious motorist, the new Mercedes T-Class costs less than half as much as the luxurious EQE SUV, and still has plenty of room for a family of five, with lots of space for stuff as well. An MPV variant of the Mercedes Citan small van, the T-Class is also closely related to the new Renault Kangoo – which was named Best Small Van in the 2023 What Car? Van and Commercial Vehicle Awards.
The T-Class will be available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, paired with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic gearbox. Mercedes will also sell an electric version called the EQT (pictured), which will be offered as an MPV or a compact electric campervan. It will have a 101bhp electric motor fed by a 45kWh battery. The Renault Kangoo E-Tech has the same set-up and managed an official range of around 165 miles.
Mercedes C63 E Performance
On sale: Spring 2023 | Price from: £90,000 (est)
If you've been reading this feature so far and wondering whether everything being electrified is being done purely in the name of efficiency, prepare to think again. The next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 is going plug-in hybrid (PHEV) – and it's doing so to put an even bigger smile on your face.
Based on the current Mercedes C-Class and using technology from the Mercedes-AMG One supercar, the C63 will feature a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor. That's right, the 4.0-litre V8 engine from the previous AMG C63 is no more, but don't fret: the new combination develops a heady 670bhp.
The interior is very similar to that of its non-AMG counterpart. Differences include heavily bolstered sports seats and a part-Alcantara steering wheel. It will be significantly more expensive than the rival BMW M3 Competition and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio but it’s the only one of the three that comes as a PHEV.
Mercedes CLE
On sale: Spring 2023 | Price from: £60,000 (est)
The CLE is a new two-door version of the current Mercedes C-Class saloon, but it has been introduced to replace not only the C-Class Coupé and Cabriolet, but also the larger and more luxurious Mercedes E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet.
A range of electrified petrol and diesel engines will be available, each paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The range will also include the same 670bhp plug-in hybrid system as found on the new C63 – this version of the CLE will compete with the petrol-only BMW M4.
Mercedes E-Class
On sale: Autumn 2023 | Price from: £55,000 (est)
The next generation of E-Class will be the last to feature an internal combustion engine before the ban on new petrol and diesel car sales in 2030. It will be sold alongside the new Mercedes EQE large electric saloon.
Rather than going fully electric – that job has already been handled by the EQE – the E-Class will be powered by upgraded and electrified versions of today's engines, bringing more power but also fuel-saving mild hybrid technology. An E63 super saloon will go on sale later, ditching the V8 engine of the current E63 in favour of a plug-in hybrid pairing. A new Mercedes E-Class Estate will arrive in 2024.
Mercedes EQC saloon
On sale: Late 2023 | Price from: £60,000 (est)
Mercedes is working towards having an electric sibling for every core model in its lineup. The Mercedes S-Class has the EQS, the E-Class has the EQE, but what about the C-Class? Although no official details have been revealed yet, we expect an EQC saloon to be on its way shortly, designed to compete with the Tesla Model 3 using technology from the Mercedes Vision EQXX concept car.
Revealed in January 2022, the ultra-efficient Vision EQXX concept was built as a showcase of next-generation electric car technology, and the result was a real-world range of more than 600 miles. Now, it seems that its super-slippery design and advanced tech will be transplanted into the upcoming 'electric C-Class'.
Features expected to reach the EQC saloon from the Vision EQXX include solar panels, new battery cells designed to store energy more densely than today's electric car batteries, and an aerodynamic body that cuts through the air, reducing battery usage at higher speeds. Those features are expected to combine to give the upcoming EQC saloon a range of around 400 miles, from an 80kWh battery.
Mercedes EQG
On sale: 2024 | Price from: £200,000 (est)
The Concept EQG shown above demonstrates what an all-electric variant of the Mercedes G-Class luxury SUV might look like. Unlike the rest of the Mercedes-EQ range, electrification will have a fairly minor impact on the model's appearance. The grille has been replaced by an LED panel, but the overall shape and proportions are not noticeably changed from those of the petrol or diesel G-Class.
Power will come from four electric motors, driving one wheel each for improved off-road control. The motors will draw their electricity from the new type of battery seen on the Vision EQXX concept, potentially giving the EQG a range of more than 200 miles, despite it being expected to weigh nearly three tonnes.
