Mercedes-Benz has just revealed the second facelift for the GLE (V167) and GLS (X167), and this is anything but a minor cosmetic touch-up. Stuttgart gutted the four-cylinder engine range in Europe, wired both SUVs around a triple-screen MBUX Superscreen cockpit, and introduced a new plug-in hybrid GLE 450e 4MATIC with over 106 km of electric-only range. For anyone shopping this segment in Germany — or watching residual values shift — the changes are substantial.
Car Insurance in Germany: How to Get the Best Deal
Car insurance in Germany is not optional. You cannot register your car without it, and you cannot legally drive without at least the minimum required cover. The system is structured, layered, and often confusing at first glance — especially if you are coming from the UK, the US, or another market with a different insurance model.
TÜV Report 2026: German Car Inspection (HU) - What to Expect
TÜV and HU inspection in Germany is mandatory for every registered vehicle. Every car on German roads must pass the HU — Hauptuntersuchung — every two years. Most people call it “the TÜV,” even though TÜV is only one of several organizations authorized to carry out the technical inspection. Whatever you call it, the result is the same: if your vehicle fails, you cannot legally drive it until the defects are fixed. And if your HU sticker has expired, every police stop can become a very expensive conversation.

Used Car Valuation: How Much Is Your Car Worth?
How to determine the value of a used car in Germany is no longer a one-tool question. Schwacke is gone for private users, listing platforms show asking prices instead of real transaction values, and most online calculators only work if the underlying vehicle data is actually correct.

US Auto Tariffs: Impact on the German Automotive Industry
US auto tariffs are here — and the consequences for the German automotive industry are immediate, structural, and far-reaching. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of 25 percent on all imported vehicles entering the United States, placing Germany’s export-driven carmakers directly in the crosshairs. For BMW, Mercedes, and VW, this is not a theoretical policy shift. It is a direct intervention in one of their most important overseas markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of automotive content does Automobilisto publish?
We cover everything that matters in the automotive world. News brings you industry updates and new model launches. Reviews deliver first drives and long-term ownership insights. Our Electric section focuses on EV spotlights and charging infrastructure. Technology dives deep into engineering and safety systems. Market coverage tracks sales trends and economic analysis. History celebrates classic cars and marque anniversaries. Guides help with buying decisions and ownership costs. Each piece goes through our four-step verification process — source collection, cross-verification, technical review, and publication with full attribution. That's how we maintain editorial standards.
Who are the journalists writing for Automobilisto?
Real automotive specialists. Not content mill writers. Our team includes journalists with decades of industry experience, former automotive engineers, and market analysts who've covered major auto shows worldwide. Each author has a specific area of expertise — whether that's electric powertrains, luxury car markets, or motorsport history. You'll find their credentials and published work listed on individual author profiles. We believe readers deserve to know who's behind the content they're reading. That transparency matters. When someone writes about BMW's latest hybrid system, you can see they've been covering German automotive tech for fifteen years.
How does Automobilisto verify article accuracy?
Four steps, every time. First, we collect sources — manufacturer data, official press releases, technical specifications. Then comes cross-verification against multiple independent sources. Can't trust just one datasheet. Third step involves technical review by specialists in the relevant field. Finally, publication with full source attribution so you can check our work. This process catches errors before they reach readers. It also ensures we're not just repeating manufacturer marketing claims as fact. When we state a car's 0-60 time or battery capacity, that number has been verified through multiple channels. Simple as that.
Is Automobilisto truly independent from automotive manufacturers?
Yes. Zero manufacturer funding. No affiliate commissions from car sales. No sponsored editorial content disguised as journalism. We make this distinction clear — if something is promotional, it's marked as such. Our editorial team operates independently from any commercial relationships. That means we can criticize a new model's flaws without worrying about losing advertising revenue. It also means our recommendations aren't influenced by commission structures. When we suggest a particular EV or compare safety ratings, that's based purely on editorial judgment and verified data. Independence isn't just a buzzword here — it's how we operate.
What languages does Automobilisto publish in?
Eleven languages total. German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Finnish, Swedish, and Turkish. But here's what matters — we don't use machine translation. Each language version is written natively by journalists who understand that market. A story about European EV incentives will focus on different details for German readers versus Norwegian ones. Local regulations matter. Market preferences differ. Our English content targets English-speaking markets specifically, not just a translated version of our German articles. That's why you'll see different angles and examples depending on which language you're reading.
Can I use Automobilisto content for my business or website?
Personal use and citations are fine with proper attribution. Commercial use requires licensing. We offer B2B solutions including API access for automotive data, white-label content widgets, and full content licensing agreements. Many dealerships and automotive websites use our verified specifications and market analysis through these partnerships. The API delivers real-time updates on new models, pricing changes, and technical specifications. If you're running an automotive blog or need reliable car data for an app, these solutions might work for you. Contact us to discuss specific requirements and pricing.
How can I stay updated with new Automobilisto articles?
Newsletter is the easiest option. We send weekly roundups of the most important automotive news and our latest reviews. No spam, just the good stuff. You can also follow our RSS feeds if you prefer that approach. Social media channels post article highlights throughout the week. The newsletter includes exclusive insights that don't appear elsewhere — like early access to major reviews or behind-the-scenes coverage from auto shows. It's free, obviously. No sign-up fees or premium tiers. Just automotive journalism delivered to your inbox when it matters.
