New for 2015: Mercedes-Benz
2015 Mercedes-Benz Overview
There's been some shuffling of features, a few new engines, and the replacement of one model with another, but no truly radical changes for the Mercedes-Benz lineup for the 2015 model year.
Probably the biggest news is that the CL-Class has been eliminated, replaced with a new model, the S-Class Coupe. This is the last year for the highly specialized SLS-Class coupe/convertible, and only 350 units of that model will be produced.
Mercedes vehicles can be found with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD); the CLA-Class offers front-wheel drive (FWD) as an alternative. The line encompasses a broad spectrum, from 2-seat roadsters to full-size 7-seat SUVs. Trim levels range from relatively conservative to ultra-sporty, but always luxuriant.
The C-Class is Mercedes' entry luxury sedan, and it has been completely redesigned for the 2015 model year. It's longer and wider, with more room in the cabin, and has added several luxury features. Available in coupe and sedan body styles, and with RWD and AWD, the 2015 C-Class offers a choice of engines. The least powerful of these is found on the C250 coupe: a turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder that makes 201 horsepower and 229 lb.-ft. of torque. The C300 sedan features a turbocharged, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. The C350's 3.5-liter V-6 makes 302 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. The C400's engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that cranks out 329 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque. The C63 AMG sedan employs a 4.0-liter V-8 that produces 469 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque, and the C63 AMG S upgrades that engine to 503 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. The biggest engine of all is the C63 coupe's 6.2-liter V-8, which makes 451 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque or, with the Edition 507 package, 507 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque.
What's New:
Interior and exterior restyling
New 4- and 6-cylinder engines
Slightly larger than previous model
AWD and RWD available
This compact 4-door coupe was introduced for the 2014 model year as a new entry-level luxury option. It slots below the C-Class in terms of size and luxury, and is available with FWD or AWD capability, with seating for five. The base CLA250 features power front seats with 14-way adjustment, infotainment system linked to a 7-in. screen (8-in. screen optional), and a turbocharged, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 208 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Also available is the AWD 2015 CLA45 AMG, fitted with a beefed-up version of the 2.0-liter engine that delivers 355 horsepower and 332. lb.-ft. of torque. The Premium package adds luxury features, while the Sport package and Sport Package Plus address the vehicle's performance and exterior styling cues, and adds upgraded upholstery.
What's New:
CLA250 now offers "comfort suspension" as standard; sport suspension is optional
Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard
Standard and optional display screens are upgraded
Brake support kicks in faster on collision-warning system
With a somewhat more imposing 4-door coupe body style than the CLA-Class, the CLS-Class returns for 2015 with slight styling tweaks within and without. Models are available with RWD and AWD, in various trim levels. The base engine on the CLS400 is a 3.0-liter, 329-horsepower turbocharged V-6 that cranks out 354 lb.-ft. of torque. The fully loaded CLS550 features a twin-turbocharged, 4.6-liter V-8 engine that generates 402 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque, while the CLS63 AMG S 4Matic features a twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter V-8 engine that delivers 550 horsepower. A tuned version of that same engine puts out 577 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque.

With a few added options and a little more storage space, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV carries over into 2015 mostly unchanged from the previous year. A few options have been added, most notably a rear-seat entertainment system. The Mercedes G-Class is known for its upright, boxy profile, its ability to take on rough terrain, and its conservative but ultra-luxe interior. This rugged and luxurious vehicle, popular with Hollywood celebrities and foreign militaries alike, offers three new exterior paint colors for the new model year. Buyers have the choice of the G550, which features a 5.5-liter, 382-horsepower V-8 engine that cranks out 391 lb.-ft. of torque, or the G63 AMG, which boasts a turbocharged version of that V-8 that makes 536 horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque.
