Mercedes-Benz cars: What's new for 2007

by Aaron Gold

New V8s, diesels, and AMG models

B-class: This small 5-door hatchback, which Mercedes calls a "compact sports tourer", was introduced in Canada as a 2006 model and remains unchanged for 2007. Unfortunately Mercedes has no immediate plans to sell the B-class in the US.

C-class: C55 AMG discontinued; C230, C280 and C350 models now available in Sport or Luxury versions. The C230 is now a "flex fuel" vehicle and can run on E85 or gasoline. A redesigned version of the C-class will be introduced in 2007 as a 2008 model.

CL-class: (photo) Mercedes' top-of-the-line CL coupe gets a complete redesign for 2007. CL550 gets a 382 hp V8, while CL600 is powered by a 510 hp twin-turbo V12.

CLK-class: CLK550 replaces the CLK500 and CLK63 AMG (convertible only) replaces CLK55 AMG; both have new, larger engines.

CLS-class: Similar to CLS: CLS550 replaces CLS500 and CLS 63 AMG replaces CLS55 AMG. All models get the PRE-SAFE system from the S-Class.

E-class: (photo) All models get freshened styling, more standard equipment, and the PRE-SAFE system, and are available in Sport or Luxury versions at the same price. E550 sedan gets a new V8 engine and E320 sedan gets a new "Bluetec" 3.0 liter V6 turbodiesel. New E63 AMG (photo) debuts with AMG-designed 507 hp engine.

    R-class: R320CDI diesel and high-performance R63 AMG join the lineup.

    S-class: (photo) A redesigned S-Class was introduced in early 2006 as a 2007 model. Versions include 382 hp S550, 510 hp S600 and 604 hp S65 AMG.

    SL-class: (photo) Coupe and roadster get freshened styling; SL550 with new V8 engine replaces the SL500 while SL600 and SL55 AMG models get an increase in power.

    SLK-class: No major changes.
