Question 1

What do Business Solution, AMG and Luxury mean on a Dutch Mercedes?

Accepted Answer

They are the equipment lines of the A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, CLA, GLA, GLB and GLC in the Netherlands. Business Solution is the base, Business Solution AMG adds a sporty look and Business Solution Luxury a more classic one; models such as the CLE and GLE use lines like AMG Line instead.

Question 2

Which new Mercedes models are electric?

Accepted Answer

The CLA and CLA Shooting Brake, GLA, GLB, GLC, C-Class, EQS, G 580, the electric Mercedes-AMG GT, and the VLE and eVito people carriers. Battery sizes run from 58 kWh in the smallest CLA, GLA and GLB to 122 kWh in the EQS.

Question 3

Does a new Mercedes plug-in hybrid pay less tax in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Not on road tax any more: since 2026 a plug-in hybrid of 1–50 g/km pays the full MRB on its weight. Its BPM follows its WLTP CO₂ like any car's, so an E 300 e or GLC 300 e still carries far less BPM than a petrol equivalent.

Question 4

Is the BPM included in the price of a new Mercedes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the list prices are consumer prices with 21% btw and the BPM included, plus delivery costs where the brand states them. A powerful petrol model carries far more BPM than an electric one, as the BPM rises steeply with CO₂.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a used Mercedes?

Accepted Answer

A new Mercedes brings the factory warranty and a free choice of equipment, but a large saloon or SUV loses much of its value in the first years. A used one on Dutch plates has had its BPM paid, so none is due again.
