No longer just for loaded 50-something financial directors, Mercedes have recently deviated from their traditional reputation as high-end car producers.

They now also offer…relatively…affordable models like the family-focused A-Class and compact B-Class. And in expanding their offering, Mercedes have brought their pioneering approach to a wider audience; their innovations in safety features, engine efficiency, and driver technology have proven popular with mid-market British car-buyers.

For traditionalists, the C, E, and S classes offer the signature Mercedes classic looks and style, with top performance to match.

Whichever trusty “Merc” you choose, it’s likely to hold its value well – and you can’t beat the prestige points that come with that famous German badge.
