Mercedes-Benz will abandon unpopular cars and reduce the number of models from 33 to 14. They will soon stop producing a range of coupes, convertibles, station wagons and even crossovers.
There is a big change in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. In the coming years, the German automaker will discontinue several models. This was known by the American edition of Car and Driver.
Last spring, Mercedes-Benz announced a comprehensive restructuring of its entire product range. Then it was announced that the company will give up its more affordable models such as the A-Class and B-Class. Instead, they plan to create a more luxurious and exclusive Mercedes.
Now it turns out that the restructuring will also affect some expensive Mercedes-Benzes that are not in demand. Of the 33 models and body versions, only 14 will remain in the brand’s product range.
In particular, it was decided to abandon the Mercedes C-Class and E-Class coupes and convertibles – in 2024 they will be replaced by a CLE model. Next year, the Mercedes-Benz CLS coupe sedan will also be discontinued, and the Mercedes-AMG GT 4door will be discontinued a year later.
Mercedes-Benz station wagons are also losing their popularity, so the C-Class Estate will be abandoned in 2028 and the E-Class Estate 2030. At the same time, the Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake sports station wagon will remain for now, and in 2025 they will even introduce its next generation.
Popular transitions will also be less frequent. The management of the group is considering the possibility of abandoning the Mercedes GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe.
At the same time, several completely new models were announced. The Mercedes GLG electric SUV will be introduced in 2026, and the Mercedes-Maybach SL convertible and Gelendvagen pickup truck are also planned. There will also be new sports models from AMG and electric cars with a range of up to 800 km.
