Among the new models set to arrive is the German marque's flagship S-Class saloon, which is due to make its debut before the end of this year. Ahead of that there is a heavily updated E-Class that will go head-to-head with the similarly refreshed BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 in the premium executive saloon segment.
When the new E-Class arrives first the offering will be hybrids consisting of the E300de plug-in hybrid and E300e, in both saloon and estate guises. Mercedes-Benz is expecting to see an increase in demand for hybrids and expects this to be a key part of the E-Class offering. Under the company's EQ sub-brand, hybrids will account of 16 models in the range.
New GLA and GLB expected to be a hit with buyers
One of the most popular segments right now is the compact SUV class, and 2020 will see Mercedes introduce the latest GLA and the all-new GLB. Pricing for the new GLA is due to start at €38,800 and there will be numerous versions available including more highly tuned Mercedes-AMG variants.
The arrival of the Mercedes-Benz GLB should go down well with buyers in Ireland thanks to its availability as a seven-seat model. Clearly aimed at families, the new GLB is set to start at €42,350. If and when that third row of seats isn't required, it can be folded flat and hidden away within the boot floor. The GLB will come as standard with a five-seat configuration.
Commenting on the arrival of these new models. Mercedes-Benz Sales Manager for Ireland, Ciaran Allen, said: "Through its concentration on hybrids, Mercedes-Benz is poised to capture the growing world-wide demand for this technology amongst eco-conscious motorists".
