Ladies and gents, meet one of Mercedes-Benz’s most reliable workhorse—the 2010 ML350. It’s no surprise that this vehicle stands for utmost reliability and comfort. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that maxes out at 268 hp, the ML350 will take you anywhere you want to go—fast. It can spring from zero to sixty in just under 8 seconds, all the while saving fuel with a 15/20 mile-per-gallon city/highway EPA rating. And it’s no short of power, capable of hauling 7.2 tons of dead weight.
And then there’s the ML350’s generous helping of leading-edge technological features that make driving performance, safety and security world-class. You can actually choose from a wide variety of OEM options to personally customize your vehicle according to your lifestyle and driving preferences.
On the outside, the ML350 screams of elegance and sportiness that give both driver and passengers an aura of having no borders, either time or space. Its grille, side windows and moldings, and twin exhaust tips are embellished with highly-polished aluminum and chrome trims. 19-inch alloy wheels transmit the engine’s power, working hand-in-hand with the ML350’s four-wheel independent suspension system. The end result is agile handling under whatever weather or road conditions.
The interior styling and amenities are for you to find out. All we could say is that there’s a lot of space and comfort generously sprinkled above and below its entire cabin. And, there’s a lot of tech hidden beneath the panels to make you feel as secure and comfortable as possible.
A best-seller unveils its updated exterior: the ML 63 AMG, featuring a powerful 375 kW (510 hp) AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine, takes on a more attractive appearance thanks to some subtle but effective changes.
From the front, the eye is immediately drawn to the new bonnet with power domes, and the darkened bi-xenon headlamps with active light function. The rear, meanwhile, also contributes appropriately to the new look: the performance SUV now features darkened tail lamps incorporating a clear-lens design and LED technology. The subtle changes to the exterior coordinate perfectly with the high-gloss, chromed front and rear underguard, and afford the ML 63 AMG an even more powerful and distinctive appearance.
With a successful launch of BlueTEC equipped models in the US, Mercedes-Benz is now bringing its BlueTEC SUVs to the European market. This is a guaranteed home win. The three BlueTEC SUVs can be ordered immediately; deliveries will begin in September 2009.
The turn in American tax policy has contributed to the “reintroduction” of diesel power cars in the US. With the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC owners get the same tax benefits as for a hybrid car. For example, the GL equipped with BlueTEC technology can bring a savings of $1,832. In addition to the E 350 BlueTEC sedan, the range also includes three SUV vehicles – the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC, GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC and R 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC. BlueTEC will additionally bolster the appeal of this vehicle category in Europe.
All-new body elements and an upgraded interior will make the Mercedes-Benz GL even more appealing. In its new model year, the world’s top-class luxury SUV will consume up to 8 percent less fuel (preliminary value) and be even more environmentally compatible. Other outstanding features of the GL-Class will include excellent handling both on road and off road, exceptional roominess and the comfort of a luxury saloon.
Beginning in Fall 2009, Mercedes-Benz will also offer the world’s most extensive range of SUV models equipped with especially efficient SCR exhaust gas treatment technology. Besides the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC, customers will also have the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC and R 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC models to choose from. The fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly trio of models already created a stir during their first sales year in the USA and they are sure to also boost the appeal of this vehicle class in Europe.
It seems that BRABUS, the uber-tuner from Germany, has not received the memo from AMG boss Volker Mornhinweg, declaring the horsepower war as being over, as they unleash another beast at us. This time it’s no other than the M-Class Widestar, the big brother of the GLK Widestar seen at SEMA.
BRABUS makes the updated SUV even more exclusive with an exciting custom wide version. Fitting additions are 23-inch forged wheels, sporty suspension modifications and power tuning for the entire engine lineup of this model series. The top-of-the-line engine is the ML63 with BRABUS B63S performance tuning. It delivers a maximum power output of 550 hp (542 bhp / 404.8 kW).
With the ML 63 AMG “Performance Studio”, the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO, opened in 2006, showcases its expertise in helping realize the dreams of individual motorists, offering exclusivity at the Affalterbach location. The very special M-Class features a combination of uniquely detailed fittings typical of the vehicles designed in the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO.
The extraordinary character of this unique M-Class vehicle is just as evident in the interior. The full nappa leather upholstery with a “porcelain” colored diamond design creates an ambiance of luxury. It covers the AMG sports seats, the rear seats and the door linings. The AMG emblem embossed on the front headrests points to the vehicle’s exclusive origin, manufactured in the AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach.
The successful ML 63 AMG will shortly be launched as the especially exclusive “10th Anniversary” variant. The 375-kW/510-hp top M-Class model fascinates with its striking appearance and extraordinary standard features. With the ML 63 AMG “10th Anniversary”, Mercedes AMG is celebrating ten years of high-performance SUVs. The ML 55 AMG with a 255-kW/347-hp AMG 5.5-l V8 engine, launched in 1999, is considered the trendsetter and founder of an entire vehicle segment.
The ML 63 AMG “10th Anniversary” jubilee model was developed in the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO and showcases AMG’s expertise in catering to the wishes of individual customers. The experts at the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO were also responsible for developing the new SL 65 AMG Black Series, as well as Official F1 Safety Car and Official F1 Medical Car.
