Mercedes R-Class Was Pulled Out from the US

Clarissa March 20, 2012

The Mercedes R-Class is a wonderful car, no doubt about that. With a V6 engine, lovely leather interiors and all-wheel drive, which translates to power and luxury what more can you ask for? However, in the highly competitive US market, these characteristics actually became problems. Not that Americans don’t like the car, it’s just that great features comes with an even greater price tag. Starting at $52,690, the R350 4Matic and the R350 BlueTec diesel with a tag of $53,840, it only managed to attract about 300 buyers. Mercedes spokesman Christian Bokich said the version is not working in the market, “to the extent that we can no longer make… Continue Reading »

Clarissa January 3, 2012

If you’re a big fan of the big cars or the SUVs then you should be happy to know that other people are also picking up on that “fandom”. As evidenced by a 2 million units of SUVs sold by Mercedes-Benz, the big, rounded vehicles are now a trend.  Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing said, “With the launch of our first sport utility vehicle, the G-Class, more than 30 years ago, we entered a segment in which we are now very successful with a total of five models. The SUVs today are an important pillar of Mercedes-Benz’s growth and have regularly posted a new sales record in every month… Continue Reading »

Kharl Prado November 26, 2010

The 2011 R300 CDI was launched by Mercedes-Benz Australia, and this Aussie version is seen sporting a range of exterior changes while still packing some high-tech interior specs. The updated R-Class comes with some key exterior tweaks over the standard one we saw at the 2010 New York Auto Show, including a sharpened front, bi-xenon headlights reminiscent of the ML-Class units, and running LED lights housed in the side cutouts near the lower air intake area. The R300′s rear also gets exterior updates via a new bumper, a diffuser, new trim integrated on the tailpipe, and tweaked tail lights. Going to the interior, we see that it gets some advanced features, including 3 rows of seats that can be… Continue Reading »

2011 diesel models recalled for potential fuel leak

Kharl Prado November 10, 2010

Goodness, gracious. Don’t say we didn’t tell you earlier. As of right now, 2,297 Mercedes-Benz diesel models have been recalled because of a potential fuel leak problem. These specific models are the 2011 E-Class, GL-Class, R-Class and M-Class rangers. Apparently, there’s an o-ring somewhere in the fuel system that wasn’t installed correctly during production. Mercedes-Benz did the right thing by informing the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (a.k.a. NHTSA) that they failed to lubricate the said o-ring before installing it into the fuel system of these models. This brings about high risk of fuel leaking from the system, specifically the fuel filter. NHTSA officials are actually more worried about… Continue Reading »

Fuel filter leak recall issued on 2011 models

Kharl Prado November 8, 2010

Heads up, folks! If you’re driving a 2011 E-Class, GL-Class, M-Class or R-Class, then you’d better call your dealer right away. Mercedes-Benz has just issued a recall on these models due to leakage problems on their fuel filters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says there is an o-ring on the fuel system that may not have been lubricated and installed properly, thus causing fuel to spill out. The recall bulletin from NHTSA provides specific details on diesel variants of these models, but our friends over at The Car Connection says otherwise, confirming that the problem affects gasoline variants as well. So be warned and be safe. Your dealer should… Continue Reading »
