Mercedes-Benz is gearing up for an exciting lineup of vehicle releases, with plans to introduce at least seven new models by the end of 2027, as the company approaches its 140th anniversary in 2026. This expansion will prominently feature electric vehicles, but traditional combustion engines will continue to play a role, albeit with more electrified versions.
Here’s a detailed look at what to expect from Mercedes in the coming years:

The A-Class, which once seemed slated for discontinuation in Europe, will continue production until 2028, with a new model expected in late 2027. The upcoming A-Class might revisit its roots, potentially adopting a design reminiscent of its earlier generations, featuring a taller ride height and a more upright, minivan-inspired profile. This model will remain an entry-level offering, with electric and hybrid versions built on the MMA platform.

Mercedes-Benz is expanding its G-Class lineup with a smaller model known as the “Baby G.” Expected to debut in late 2027, this compact off-road vehicle will forgo the traditional ladder frame for a modified MMA platform. Both electric and hybrid variants will be available, featuring all-wheel drive and design cues from the iconic G-Class, but in a more compact form, approximately 14.4 feet long.

Entering the market in early 2027, the new GLA Hybrid will combine a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a 22.0-kilowatt electric motor, enabling short-range electric-only travel. Output options will range from 136 to 190 horsepower, with all-wheel drive available on higher trims. The hybrid GLA will closely resemble its electric sibling, with the primary visual difference being additional air intakes for engine cooling.

The upcoming GLC and Coupe models, set for a 2027 release, will continue the trend of offering both electric and combustion-powered options with similar aesthetics but distinct platforms. The combustion version will feature a range of engines, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline mild-hybrid and a turbodiesel, alongside plug-in hybrids with significant electric range capabilities.
