The X-Class has been recalled by Mercedes-Benz under reference R/2020/171 (SRV2011), as the handbook doesn’t have the correct maximum roof load values contained in it.

Bright Spark
I think it’s fair to say that the new Kia e-Niro has caused a bit of a stir. Its 64kWh battery is the biggest currently fitted to an electric car from any of the mainstream brands and if you want to…
EQS – Mercedes-Benz shows vision of next-generation S-Class
The Vision EQS, a milestone on the way to the future of Mercedes-Benz. At the International Motor Show in Frankfurt (12 September to 22 September 2019), Mercedes-Benz will show the challenges of the future: sustainability is becoming a central component of the brand philosophy, and a major aspect of our corporate strategy. The show car already meets these aspirations today, and provides an outlook on future large, electric luxury saloons.
