Mercedes is to increase prices across virtually its entire range by an average of 1.4% on April 1.

Only cars registered before this date will escape the rises, so if you're expecting to take delivery of a new car after April 1, your dealer could ask for more cash. The CL coupe is unaffected, as is the E-Class, a face-lifted version of which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show at the end of February.

Three-door versions of the A-Class receive the smallest increase of just £90, the range costing from £13,770 for an A150 to £19,705 for an A200 CDI. Five-door A-Class are up £240 and start at £14,520 for an A150.

The B-Class will also be £240 more expensive, spanning £17,235 to £21,815, and the CLS four-door coupe £250 pricier. The C-Class saloon and estate, and the CLK coupe and cabriolet, all rise by £410, while £430 is added onto the price tag of any Mercedes SLK roadster.

Apart from the Maybach and SLR supercar, the biggest increases are reserved for the M-Class. Except for the M280 CDI models, which are up £150, the price of these cars increases by £460.

Rises of between 1.3% and 1.6% add £4000 onto the cost of a Maybach 57 or SLR, while a tiny increase of 0.3% means the long wheelbase Maybach 62 now starts £1000 higher at £292,155.
