Mercedes toy cars buying guide
What should you pay attention to when buying a Mercedes? toys cars?
Sustainability
There are quite a few differences in quality toys car brands. Just look at the difference between Bburago and Kinsmart or Hot Wheels, you can clearly feel the quality.
In any case, almost nothing can go wrong with a complete diecast car. That is what I paid extra attention to when assessing the durability of the cars.
Quality of driving
At toys You want cars to drive well. Some may be for display only, not for play. But you still want them to roll well.
A few things to watch out for are:
- the distance from the wheels to the chassis: some toy cars run into problems so they don't drive very well
- the rigidity of the shaft: some toy cars are very wobbly so the wheels can move far in and out, and still rub
- the quality of the wheels: is it plastic or are there really rubber wheels on the tires? Rubber rolls a lot better
- the weight of the car: you may not realize this right away, but the weight of the car plays a very large role in how well it rolls. A heavier car made of diecast or wood rolls a lot better and further than a plastic car
Replayability
Much of the car's replayability is in how well it drives, but there are other factors that determine how often they return to it.
Age also plays a part. Is it a car that stays on the left after toddlerhood or can it last longer because it is also suitable for older children?
The number of extra functions also plays a role, such as the opening doors, the stretcher and the plaster in the Bruder ambulance or the Lego bricks in the Mercedes Speed Champions.
I rated each of the cars on this list on these parts on a 5-point scale.
Best Mercedes toy cars reviewed
Bburago Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG 21066
- Great detail
- Doors and hood can open
- Bit expensive for toy and cheap for model car
I have often mentioned Bburago in my articles about it toys cars. It is a great brand that makes model cars that are also easy to play with.
This Mercedes SL65 is also a beautiful example of which the doors and hood can be opened. The interior also has a lot of detail.
Perfect for display or for great fantasy play with your favorite brand. The price is also a bit in between toys and model car.
This Mercedes is on a scale of 1:24 so that is quite a size (about L 8, W 3.5, H 3 inches or 20 x 9 x 7,5 cm).
Majorette 213712001 Grand Series City Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Ambulance
- Real rubber tires drive well
- Die-cast and super sturdy
- Sound has been eliminated so that you don't see any ugly push buttons
- Not suitable for small toddlers
- Very small
This Majorette is about the ambulance theme. We didn't have it on the list yet, but it is of course perfectly suited for light and sound.
Majorette always has very sturdy die-cast cars with a lot of detail. This ambulance has transparent windows and a detailed interior.
The rear doors open to load and unload patients, adding another element of pretend play.
The tires are real rubber and drive well. It's a nice little car that fits in with many others toys cars for toddlers such as Hot Wheels and of course other Majorette cars.
They also did a good job of hiding the sound system in the tapes. When you push the front wheels down, the sound turns on so you don't have any ugly push buttons on top.
This keeps the ambulance looking like a real ambulance.
He is about 15 cm (6 inches) long and that is 1:43 scale. This small size and hard exterior makes it slightly less suitable for babies and small toddlers, but perfect for children from 3 years old.
Costzon Mercedes Benz ML350 6V
- Nice sound system
- Parental supervision
- 6 km / h top speed
- Some are disappointed with the battery life
This is another children's car with a sturdy seat. This makes it great fun for kids who are between 3 and 8 years old.
They can drive around with their friends or siblings!
We liked that they gave the parents some extra safety assurance by giving them a remote control.
This gives parents total control over the car in the event that their child is inexperienced with driving or has a collision.
Even if your child is driving the vehicle, the remote can take control at any time.
The top speed that this trip on the car can each be 6 km / h. Children can move backwards and forwards and steer the car in any direction.
There is also a sound system built into this car toy. You can connect devices via an Aux plug-in or listen to the radio.
We liked that they have also implemented a screen that provides you with information.
These include details about battery life and whether the lights for the car are on or off.
What age is this for toys recommended?
3 years
What makes this toys remarkable?
Parents are also happy to find that they can be in control of the vehicle at any time.
Rastar Mercedes F1 W11 RC
- Detailed RC car
- Easy to control
- Can't be super loud
A wonderfully detailed 1:18 scale toy car (12,48” x 4,65” x 2,4” or 31,5 x 11,8 x 6 cm).
It is a die-cast body with independent suspension system and rubber tires for good traction.
It is not an RC car for the grass or a dirt road. Like the real F1 cars, it performs best on tarmac.
It is recommended from 8 years old although could be a little younger if you play with it together. It can go 9 km/h.
Rastar is a renowned brand in the RC world as good toy-grade cars.

Bruder 02536 Mercedes Sprinter Ambulance
- Lots of detail and everything can be opened
- Just like a doll
- Stretcher is a nice addition
- Quite large and difficult to combine
- Pretty pricey
What are emergency services without an ambulance? The injured dolls must of course be taken care of and taken to hospital.
There are only a few Bruder ambulance vehicles, but this is certainly the most popular one and comes with a stretcher and a nurse.
The nice thing is that the roof can be removed so that you can play on the inside more easily, which is a good thing because there are all kinds of cabinets on the inside and places to store tools.
A great playset to play with emergency services.
Toys van Bruder is very large. A lot bigger than Kinsmart and even Bburago. That in itself makes it a lot of fun, even for toddlers and pre-school children to play with.
It also makes it difficult to communicate with others toys to combine. The 1:16 scale is very large so a lot bigger than most toys cars.
But my son has put everything in the back to transport from blocks to Playmobil horses, so it makes it fun again.
LEGO Speed Champions Mercedes 76909
A spicy set, but with 564 pieces still good for school children. It says from 9 years old but as a project to do with your 7 year old it's fine.
You get not one but two cars in this set:
- the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance
- and Mercedes-AMG Project One
There are also 2 minifigure drivers so they can race against each other and the wrench is a nice detail.
The cars are approximately 1,5 by 7,5 by 2,5 inches or 4 cm high, 19 cm long and 7 cm wide.
Some of the LEGO sets where you make a branded car, like LEGO Technic are very large and more for display. This is clearly more of a set to build and play with.
The cars are too toys size as you are used to from other LEGO cars.
If you want to put them as a model car, the size and detail are a bit disappointing.
Kinsmart DHL Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1:46 Pull Back
This is really one toys car, no confusion with a car model. And very fun to play with because of the pull back action.
Although the detail on the outside is quite fine, the interior is not so well finished. But a nice detail are the rear doors that can be opened with some packages in the back (taped).
It is sturdy die-cast and the front doors can also be opened. It rides quite well due to its weight and the pull back action works fine, so far no problems with the firmness.
Welly Mercedes 300 SL 1954 1-24 WE24064R
- Great detail
- Winged doors and bonnet that opens backwards
- No significant drawbacks
What a great detail in this Mercedes classic, the 300 SL from 1954.
Everything can open and the winged doors are of course great, as is the bonnet that opens backwards.
What a beautiful car to see, and it also drives very well with the rubber wheels.
Conclusion
Mercedes has released some great models and with this one toys You can still play with cars in peace. Whether you want a new model or an old classic.
