Mercedes-Benz To Launch Four-Model Electric Arsenal To Tackle Tesla

Mercedes-Benz is preparing to go into battle against electric-vehicle juggernaut, Tesla, with four electric vehicles in advanced planning with the first to appear as early as 2018.

The four new electric vehicles will be positioned around the existing range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles with a range comprising a medium sedan and SUV to slot in between the C-Class and E-Class and GLC and GLE ranges, with a larger sedan and SUV to sit at the top of the range to follow later.

According to the UK’s Car Magazine, the new range will appear under the Ecoluxe banner. The new EVs will go into battle against Telsa’s Model S and Model X and the forthcoming Model 3, a well as facing off against the coming Porsche Mission E sedan and Audi Q6 SUV.
