Auto Express
|August 06, 2025
THE transition to electromobility is not being used as an opportunity by Mercedes to consolidate its product range, with CEO Ola Källenius insisting he and his team are constantly assessing market requirements – including bodystyles that may not yet exist.
-
The firm is no stranger to automotive niches, with an extensive lineup spanning everything from sports cars to SUVs. Källenius acknowledged that Mercedes has covered more segments than most, but wouldn’t rule out further expansion: “We run about 40 body variants,” he told us. “Could there be more niches still? I’m not going to exclude that.”

Sparco V16 light
UNLESS you keep a close eye on Spanish traffic laws, you might think a V16 is just a very large engine. But since the beginning of 2026, all Spanish-registered vehicles have been required to carry a device called a V16 Beacon. This replaces emergency warning triangles with a high-tech, GPS-connected flashing light.
