Mercedes plans “the largest product launch program in history” 18 cars are scheduled for the first time next year And 14 other models in 2027. Most of them will be cars from the next generation or cosmetic current models, but there are a few completely new additions in the pipeline. Finally, the Stetgart luxury car manufacturer “runs about 40 species of the body,” according to CEO first Kilinus. Despite the already complex collection, the company president does not exclude more models.
Talk to Auto ExpressKällenius asked in a letter, “Can there be more outlets? I will not rule out. If we think the market is needed, we will go to it. (In Mercedes) we eat, sleep and drink cars.” However, you do not expect the company to bear land risks. On days when car manufacturers can end to try unconventional models, it may be slow sales: “We are also running a company. There must be a working status.”

Mercedes SLC final edition
The CEO’s comments on the expansion of a possible variety may seem sudden, especially since Mercedes was cutting its wallet. It has already disappeared SLC, CLS and Transformable AMG GT, while The gradual disposal of T-Class and Citan is eliminated. In addition, the Coupe/Convertible Coupe and E-Class are combined in the CLE assortment. It is also expected that a small B bus will be launched at some point next year.
Mercedes had initially planned to stop category A by 2026, but wandering. ” Cars “Compressed sedans are still very popular with our customers, especially in Europe.” The five -door hatchback also has a re -postponement, which means that the current A. Category will continue to sell it alongside the new CLA Sedan and Wagon, both of which will be presented with gasoline and electricity.
As activation, Handelsblatt I mentioned last year that Mercedes could Stop GLC Coupe and Gle Coupe. A more extreme claim came Cars In 2022, which indicates that brand carts will be completely eliminated by the end of the contract. But this seems unlikely, given that CLA for beginners has just received a car version for the third time.

More simplification of the collection will come by unifying EQ models with their internal combustion counterparts. Mercedes has already confirmed EQS, which was described by the design head “10 years old very early,” It will be dropped after one generation. It will give way to the next generation S class that will be presented in both ICE and EV versions.
The confirmed additions to the collection include Class and GLC electrical versions, as well as the electric AMG sedan and SUV duo. Looking forward, Mercedes is working on the G, nicknamed B. “Little G,” Which is expected to be available with both gasoline and electric electricity.
Talking about multiple improved strategies, Mercedes plans to continue this approach in the foreseeable future. Källenius recently said that the company had made “Correction of the course” To extend the life of combustion engines to the thirties and perhaps after that, given the adoption of EV is slower than expected:
“The superior technology combustion engines will work for a longer period than we originally expected. In the current situation, I think the most rational way is for a firm manufacturer and no neglect of any technology.”
