🏁 The Ultimate Mercedes-Benz Buying Guide: Every Model, Explained (2025)

Welcome to your all-in-one guide to the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Whether you're looking for your first luxury car, considering an EV, or upgrading to a high-performance machine — Mercedes has a model for every type of driver.

But with names like GLA, GLC, EQS, and AMG GLE 63, it can get confusing fast. So here’s a clear breakdown of every model, sub-brand, and term, so you can buy with confidence.

🔤 Understanding Mercedes Naming: What Do the Letters Mean?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are named using a logical (but sometimes overwhelming) system. Here's how it works:

  • SUVs start with a G (think “Geländewagen” or off-roader).

  • Letters that follow indicate size and class:

    • GLA: Smallest SUV

    • GLC: Mid-size SUV (like a C-Class)

    • GLE: Larger, E-Class equivalent

    • GLS: Largest, most luxurious SUV

  • Higher numbers = more power or features (e.g., GLS 580 is more powerful than GLS 450).

⚠️ Note: Engine sizes no longer match the model number (e.g., a “C 300” doesn’t have a 3.0L engine anymore).

🚗 Mercedes Sub-Brands Explained

Mercedes isn't just one brand — it has several high-end sub-labels:

Sub-Brand What It Means
EQ All-electric vehicles (e.g., EQB, EQE, EQS)
AMG High-performance sports-tuned models
Maybach Ultra-luxury trims for sedans and SUVs
G-Class Rugged luxury off-roaders like the iconic G-Wagon
Mythos (coming) Super-exclusive collector cars – think ultra-rare

🧠 Key Mercedes Terms You Should Know

  • 4MATIC = All-wheel drive

  • 4MATIC+ = Performance AWD on AMG cars

  • EQ Boost = Mild hybrid system for smoother acceleration

  • Cabriolet = Four-seat convertible

  • Coupe = Sporty, sloped roofline (can be 2-door or even SUV-like)

  • Roadster = Two-seat convertible
