The new A-Class, revealed last month, is arguably the most important model, and it is set to change the boundaries for hatchback interior design with its new all-digital cabin layout. Then there's the facelifted C-Class, which like the A-Class will be on sale in Ireland in the summer (in coupe and cabriolet form - you'll have to wait till September for the new saloon and estate).
The new G-Class (we still call it G-Wagen) will be there too, showing off its looks-the-same-but-different-underneath styling, its AMG V8 and diesel engines, and its also-stylish new interior. If you're looking for a car genuinely built like a Swiss bomb shelter, this is the one for you.
However, the most interesting Mercedes newcomer will be the four-door GT Coupe. Not quite a four-door version of the existing two-door GT Coupe, but very closely mechanically related, it will be Mercedes' rival for the Porsche Panamera.
Most strikingly, the car will come with a new hybrid AMG powertrain that combines V8 petrol power and plugin electrical architecture for a combined (are you sitting down?) 800hp. Allegedly. Apparently, the electric motor is basically lifted from the AMG Project One hypercar, and it uses a very compact, very efficient battery pack, inspired by the brand's work in Formula One. The car should have a 50km electric-only range, and it's possible that Mercedes is working on versions with lower power outputs and shorter electric-only ranges.
The existing 605hp 4.0-litre turbo V8 engine will also be offered in the car, and it will come with four-wheel drive, as does the related E-Class saloon, and new CLS four-door coupe.
