Mercedes-Benz is planning a slew of new offerings globally as the brand plans to bring as many as 30 models to the market by 2027. In a document prepared for investors, the German luxury automaker revealed its product offensive strategy, calling it 'the biggest product launch program in the history of Mercedes-Benz."
Mercedes-Benz Planning A Product Onslaught In 2026-27
The Mercedes-Benz CLA has already been revealed as part of this future roadmap, while the company has also revealed the CLA Shooting Brake, which will arrive in both ICE and electric drivetrain options. In its presentation, the carmaker revealed it plans to introduce two new entry models. These are likely the new-generation GLA and GLB, which will share their underpinnings with the new CLA.

The brand will also roll out mid-cycle facelifts for the C-Class and GLC, as part of the 'Core" class, while there will be electric alternatives, including the new GLC Electric set for its global debut in September. The bigger lineup of offerings will be in the top-end segment, with the automaker planning four petrol/diesel cars in 2026 and five in 2027, along with five models in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
The updates lined up are likely to include major facelifts for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS. The automaker had previously revealed that the S-Class facelift will see a comprehensive change, going beyond the usual framework of a mid-lifecycle update. The rest of the models remain under wraps for now. That said, we know the carmaker has several new and existing models lined up, including the highly anticipated 'Baby G-Class".
The Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept is expected to spawn a super sedan and SUV in the brand's lineup
There will also be AMG-powered models, including a new electric super sedan that was previewed as the GT XX Concept earlier this year. A super SUV sharing the same underpinnings is also likely to arrive at a later date. The brand is also said to be working on a new V8 engine, which should be good for the latest emission norms, as well as more power. All in all, Mercedes has its hands full for the next couple of years, and you can surely expect most, if not all, of these cars to make their way to the Indian market, starting with the new-generation CLA.

What is Amadea? US auctioning seized $325M Russian superyacht equipped with 8 state rooms, helipad, gym and more

The United States is auctioning off the $325 million luxury superyacht Amadea, its first sale of a seized Russian superyacht since the launch of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Amadea: The 348-foot-long (106-meter-long) yacht, seized three years ago and currently docked in San Diego, was custom built by the German company Lürssen in 2017. (AP) The auction, which closes Sept. 10, comes as President Donald Trump seeks to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. The U.S. has said it's working with allies to put pressure on Russian oligarchs, some of whom are close to Putin and have had their superyachts seized, to try to compel him to stop the war. The 348-foot-long (106-meter-long) yacht, seized three years ago and currently docked in San Diego, was custom built by the German company Lürssen in 2017. Designed by François Zuretti, the yacht features an interior with extensive marble work, eight state rooms, a beauty salon, a spa, a gym, a helipad, a swimming pool and an elevator. It accommodates 16 guests and 36 crew members. Determining the real ownership of the Amadea has been an issue of contention because of an opaque trail of trusts and shell companies. The superyacht is registered in the Cayman Islands and is owned by Millemarin Investments Ltd., also based in the Cayman Islands. The U.S. contends that Suleiman Kerimov, an economist and former Russian politician, who was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2018 for alleged money laundering, owns the yacht. Meanwhile, Eduard Khudainatov, a former chairman and chief executive of the state-controlled Russian oil and gas company Rosneft, who has not been sanctioned, claims to own it. U.S. prosecutors say Khudainatov is a straw owner of the yacht, intended to conceal the yacht's true owner, Kerimov. Litigation over the true ownership of the yacht is ongoing. A representative of Khudainatov said in an emailed statement Wednesday that the planned sale of the yacht is 'improper and premature' since Khudainatov is appealing a forfeiture ruling. 'We doubt it will attract any rational buyer at fair market price, because ownership can, and will, be challenged in courts outside the United States, exposing purchasers to years of costly, uncertain litigation,' said the representative, Adam Ford. The yacht has been virtually untouched since the National Maritime Services took custody of it in 2022. To submit a sealed bid on it, bidders must put in a 10 million euro deposit, the equivalent of roughly $11.6 million, to be considered. Ford said Khudainatov would go after any proceeds from the sale of the yacht, estimated to be worth $325 million. 'Should the government press ahead simply to staunch the mounting costs it is imposing on the American taxpayer, we will pursue the sale proceeds, and any shortfall from fair market value, once we prevail in court," Ford said. A U.S. aid package for Ukraine signed into law in May 2024 gave the U.S. the ability to seize Russian state assets located in the U.S. and use them for the benefit of Kyiv, which was attacked by Russia in February 2022.
