MERCEDES 2026 MODELS REVEALED & MORE! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!

EV Channels Review

This Christmas special video looks ahead to the 2026 model year, with a particular focus on upcoming Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The reviewer highlights the Mercedes CLA Hybrid, noting its 1.5L engine, 8-speed gearbox with integrated electric motor, and a price point under £40,000, though the gearbox was observed to be slightly slow. The electric Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake is also mentioned, promising a range of around 400-431 miles. The Mercedes GLC is presented as a significant improvement over the EQC, offering more range (up to 406 miles), faster charging, and a modern interior with a hyperscreen-like display, starting at over £60,000. The video also touches on the Mercedes GB (likely referring to the GLB) as a practical seven-seater with a sportier stance and discusses the controversial partnership with Geely for engine production, emphasizing that Mercedes still developed the engines in-house. Rumors of a refreshed E-Class, a new GLA, and potential updates to the S-Class, EQE, and EQS are discussed, alongside potential GLE, GLS, and AMG CLA models. The reviewer also briefly covers the BMW iX3 with its impressive 500-mile range, the innovative BMW Panoramic iDrive, the affordable Volkswagen ID Polo, and the potential arrival of autonomous cars in the UK.
